Shantungosaurus

Shantungosaurus are dinosaurs in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

Shantungosaurus....is a pain, a dinosaur many survivors would rather not exist. It's the only herbivore so aggressive it will attack survivors and carnivores on sight at a distance. As a matter of fact, its aggression is so immense and profound, not also does it beat out that of Therizinosaurus; but survivors have used quite vulgar names for this dinosaur in regards to its aggression levels. Furthermore, normally peaceful herbivores seem to follow Shantungosaurus's instruction, becoming violent and rushing into battle alongside Shantungosaurus the second it begins an attack. This leaves Shantungosaurus a dinosaur few people enjoy encountering. If tamed, however, Shantung is an extremely powerful and worthwhile mount. It is an excellent traveling creature with its versatility, and is considerably strong for an herbivore. Furthermore while it has an absolute hatred for carnivores and

humans when wild, shantung does an unsettlingly sharp 180 in temperament when tamed. It is so supportive of certain allies, its presence alone strengthens them to fight even harder!
