Due to an upcoming update, a large majority of dinosaurs will undergo statistic changes. Dinosaur Simulator Wiki staff is will work hard to fully update the wiki as well, but due to the vast amount of changes it will take some time. This notice will be shown globally. It is highly recommended you properly update this page to meet our wiki's standards, and to make sure we can all access the quality information we deserve when the update goes live. Thank you!
The new model is exceptionally well-animated. It packs different animations for all roars, all attacks, and has a running animation that is currently matched only by the Phoenix Achillobator.
Design
It is brown with a light beige underbelly, along with dark stripes going down its head and tail. It has two dark horns sticking outs of its head and has slender legs. Its arms are very small and don't seem to move when the Carnotaurus is either walking, running, or attacking.
Information
The Carnotaurus, (flesh eating bull) more commonly just referred to as carno by players, is a carnivorous dinosaur in Dinosaur Simulator. In real life, the Carnotaurus was a medium-sized 7-8 meter long predator from South America that was extremely fast-moving and was able to deliver quick but weak bites, and thus instead of preying on slow and hefty titanosaurs like the carcharodontosaurs that shared the habitat with it, it most likely preyed on quick ornithopods and the weak, old, and sick Saltasaurus.
A lot of players play with the Carnotaurus only because of its good model and animations.
Gameplay and Strategy
While only being a medium-sized meat eater, it is faster than a Gallimimus and is able to chase most small herbivores down. Because of this they are a huge threat to babies and new players in general. The speed adaptation was a stat change made in patch 6.1.0 to make the carno be more like it's current portrayal in dinosaur media and it's real life counterpart, which also was a quick hunter.
This makes the carno best adapted to hunt bigger prey with hit-and-run tactics, while smaller prey can just be runned down and killed. In contrast to Yutyrannus and Allosaurus, which both move fast but delicately, the carno brutally stomps and moves the chest up and down while sprinting. This makes a carno running towards you more alarming to see, especially while roaring, so it's better at scaring new players than other fast hunters.
Generally one of the most popular dinosaurs, and ankle nibbers. Many players see these as quite annoying.
Babies and Juveniles
A baby Carnotaurus is very easy to get up to juvenile stage, just run from everyone and track down snacks. A juvie carno fits a niche similar to raptors like Achillobator; scavenging on carcasses, preying on vulnerable players and employing the hit-and-run tactic on NPCs.
Roar
The carno roar is a loud and cracking roar, with a deep, roaming undertone.
Trivia
- The Carnotaurus was one of the 16 dinosaur species featured in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June 2018). This makes the Carnotaurus even more popular decades after Disney's Dinosaur, whose main villains were a pair of red and oversized Carnotaur.
- In real life, Carnotaurus sastrei was only just taller than a man.
- Many dinosaur experts believe that the Carnotaurus's short face (along with other abelisaurids) was functioned to help hold and grip onto struggling prey.
- Majungasaurus, a close relative of Carnotaurus found in Madagascar, was fossilized with tooth marks from its own species and was believed to have practiced cannibalism.
Information
An older, more "blocky" model of the Carnotaurus. It is certainly better than most Classic dinosaur skins. It moves a little better than most other Classic dinosaur skins.
