Added DiffLines:

* MixAndMatchCritters: A very downplayed example, but it mixes the general build and traits from ''Allosaurus jimmadseni'' with the size and bulk of close cousin ''Saurophaganax maximus''

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Being a large and yet feathered, aggressive, and yet herbivorous theropod, whose biggest threat comes from its claws rather than its strong jaws; the ''Therizinosaurus'' is a marked difference from the large-jawed, scaly carnivores that composed the major theropods of the past films.

* InformedAttribute: In ''Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous'', they're said to have a venomous bite. Not only is this a nod to their novel counterparts, ''Procompsognathus''--and yes it's a different species, no they aren't closely related--it explains how they were able to calmly stalk and eventually take down and consume prey the size of Dieter Stark.

The viral marketing website for Jurassic World: Dominion also implies that the Compy is an ExplosiveBreeder as attempts to control their populations via trapping them have failed.

Added DiffLines:

* DeathByAThousandCuts: Encountering sheer numbers of them often leads to this.


Added DiffLines:

* TheDreaded: A mild case in ''Jurassic Park III''. Just hearing a group of them chirping outside the tanker he and Grant are sheltering in is enough to get an OhCrap reaction out of Eric and he immediately starts making sure that they can't get inside.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Appears to have dewclaws. Real therizinosaurs had all four toes on the ground to better distribute their weight, highly unusual for theropods. Given its position within Maniraptora it should possess wing and tail feathers and have a body covered in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/derpyduckart/art/Deinocheirus-mirificus-3D-Model-Paleoart-832983602 sparse coat]] of feathers rather than only having a thick coat of them on the back. It also has a more horizontal posture instead of a more vertical one it would have had in life, unique among theropods, and its potbelly[[note]]which results from gastralia making it appear to have a potbellied profile.[[/note]] is less pronounced than it should be (therizinosaurs, being herbivores, required a much larger gut than carnivorous theropods in order to process tougher to digest vegetation). On the whole, its depiction looks more like a ''Gigantoraptor'' or at least an overgrown ''Falcarius'' than how an actual ''Therizinosaurus'' is thought to have appeared.

Additionally, examinations of its claws indicate that the real animal only used them for display, being surprisingly fragile for their size, but this wasn't examined in depth until after produxtion had finished for the film.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's unknown what happened to the species after Mount Sibo erupted, although it can be assumed the population on Sorna is fine if the one on Mantah Corp Island is any indication.[[note]]It was initially assumed that a list on the Dinosaur Protection Group website listed extinct dinosaurs, but it was later confirmed that the animals listed were simply "treated with cruelty"[[/note]]

** It’s unclear what happened to the individual on Mantah Corp Island as it was last seen tranquilized by a BRAD-X.
