History Characters / MonstersResurrected

* TheRival: It’s built up as one to spinosaurus, but is anticlimactically killed in one blow.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Its signature sail is connected to its spine, meaning that if it tried to roll over, it’s back would break and it would die.

* ScienceMarchesOn: Is now known to be synonymous with sauroposeidon, meaning paluxysaurus is an invalid genus.

* NoSell: The Acrocanthosaurus’ thin blade like teeth are unable to pierce is armored shell.

* MeaningfulName: It causes all kinds of terror in its episode.

* AdaptationalBadass: In RealLife it was a short legged fish eater, here it’s shown devouring rugops in one bite, killing carcharodontosaurus with one claw swipe, and skinning sarcosuchus alive effortlessly.

* PaletteSwap: Basically just an oversized Komodo Dragon appearance wise.

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Where do we start? Spinosaurus is probably the most inaccurate creature in the series. First it’s way too big, it was only 50 feet feet long at most (though at the time the show was made, it was thought to have reached 60 feet long based on controversial measurements), only twice the size of the rugops, not the 240-foot kaiju seen here. Second, though this can be excused due to it being made in 2009, the spino is shaped completely wrong, in reality it had a paddle-like tail, short legs, a dip in its sail, and a long body. Here it looks like a T. rex with long arms and a fin on its back.

* YourSizeMayVary: It is shown to be ''way'' bigger than 60 feet long during the prehistoric segments, but in the scenes where is shown in the 21st century, it has a much more realistic size.

* ShownTheirWork: It is shown living solitarily rather than in a pride. And it wrestles the giant sloth to the ground before biting it, which is what the real animal would have done to avoid breaking its signature teeth.

* StockDinosaurs: Though it isn’t a dinosaur, smilodon is one of the most well known Ice Age animals.

* CurbStompCushion: Even though it’s outnumbered by the dire wolves, it manages to kill one and knock another unconscious before being overwhelmed.

* WeaksauceWeakness: It’s signature sail is connected to its spine, meaning that if it tried to roll over, it’s back would break and it would die.

* PalletSwap: Basically just an oversized Komodo Dragon appearance wise.

* Foil: To T. rex, the narrator draws several comparisons between the two, both are large North American theropods, but Acrocanthosaurus hunted unarmored sauropods and large herbivores whereas tyrannosaurus hunted armored prey like triceratops and Ankylosaurus. Their hunting styles also differ, both mainly used their jaws, but acro would bite the prey several times then follow it until it bled out, while tyrannosaurus would grab them by the neck and crush their spine on the spot.

* Big Eater: If you are smaller than it, it will eat you.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Is usually replaced by its larger cousin Giganotosaurus.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Its distant cousins brachiosaurus, diplodocus, and argintinosaurus are usually used instead for the “giant theropod vs giant sauropod” storyline.

!!'''Gastonia'''
* AnachronismStew: A more minor example, it died out shortly before Acrocanthosaurus came on the scene.

* ShownTheirWork: It is shown living solitarily rather than in a pride. And it wrestles the giant sloth to the ground before biting it, which is what the real animal would have done to about breaking its signature teeth.

* AdaptationalWimp: In real life it was more than capable of fighting off a titanis, but here it is shown helplessly trying to escape and getting killed instantly.

* ShownTheirWork: It is likely the most accurate creature in the series, the only problem being the lack of a tail fluke, which is more of a case of ScienceMarchesOn than anything.

* AnarchismStew: A more minor example, it died out shortly before Acrocanthosaurus came on the scene.

* OffscreenMomentofAwesome: Somehow managed to take down a paralatitan.

* AdaptationalWimp: In real life it could likely fight off a titanis, but here it is shown fruitlessly trying to escape and getting killed instantly.
