Line #55 Characters/Carnivores


1	Despite being a hunting game, ''Carnivores'' has enough personality to warrant a characters page. This page should cover all of the games; ''Carnivores'', ''Carnivores 2'', ''Carnivores: Ice Age'', ''Carnivores: Cityscape'', ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''; all the tropes of each animal's incarnations should be listed here.

3	[[foldercontrol]]
4
5	[[folder:Dinosaurs and Birds]]
6
7	The main quarry of most of the games, and often the most dangerous game. Since birds are evolved from dinosaurs, this list also contains the two Arctic Sector birds that appear in ''Ice Age''.
8
9	!!''Stegosaurus''
10	[[quoteleft:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stegosaurus.png]]
11	----
12	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores'', ''Carnivores 2'', ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
13	The least dangerous of the non-ambient animals, ''Stegosaurus'' is a easy kill, and is often one of the first animals available to hunt. In most incarnations, it's senses are mediocre.
14
15	* {{Acrofatic}}: Very chubby, but quite a fast runner.
16	* AdaptationalWimp: It's unknown what temperment the average ''Stegosaurus'' had, but they were likely nowhere near as harmless as the ones in the game.
17	* ArtEvolution: Received a very drastic redesign for ''Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Reborn''.
18	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Its design is based on outdated portrayals of the animal, including having sprayed forelimbs, a dragging tail, vertical tail spikes, and a shorter neck. Its version in ''Dinosaur Hunter HD'', however, is more scientifically accurate except its neck is still too short.
19	* BewareMyStingerTail: Averted in the original games; it never gets to use its spiky tail for defense. It finally does in the reboot.
20	* TookALevelInBadass: Becomes more dangerous like its real-life counterpart in ''Dinosaur Hunter HD''.
21	* ToughArmoredDinosaur: Averted with its original counterpart as it always runs away. Played straight with its reboot counterpart in ''Dinosaur Hunter HD'' which will attack and kill the player.
22
23	!!''Amargasaurus''
24	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amarga2.png
25	----
26	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
27	A mostly unintelligent, social herbivore, ''Amargasaurus'' was a newly-introduced sauropod for ''Dinosaur Hunter''. It is the first official pointable sauropod, as ''Brachiosaurus'' only fulfills the role of an ambient animal.
28
29	* AdaptationalWimp: Despite its impressive set of neck spikes, it's rather scaredy and won't even use them to defend itself.
30	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Has a mostly yellow/orange color scheme with maroon spots and sprites.
31	* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite being a heavy sauropod, it can run away from the hunter with no problem. According to Tatem games, it was meant to be slower, but was made fast for programming reasons.
32	* DumbMuscle: Described as "unintelligent".
33	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Dinopedia claims it to be social, but it's as solitary as the other dinosaurs in the game proper. It is likely that hunting a whole herd of them would have been somewhat confusing for the player.
34	* GentleGiantSauropod: A very scaredy sauropod that never retaliates even when shot.
35
36	!!''Ankylosaurus''
37	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ankylos_3.png
38	----
39	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores 2'', ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
40	Slightly more dangerous than the ''Stegosaurus'', ''Ankylosaurus'' are slightly harder to kill, due to the heavy armor. Despite this, they are still beginner animals. It's smell and hearing are good, but it's sight is rather poor.
41
42	* {{Acrofatic}}: While it's less bulky than ''Stegosaurus'', it's still rather portly yet fast.
43	* AdaptationalWimp: Just like ''Stegosaurus''.
44	* ArtEvolution: Has a more impressive redesign in ''HD'' and ''Reborn''.
45	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Not only is it much smaller and more slender than the real animal, it also has a dragging tail. Its redesign ''HD'' and ''Reborn'' fares a lot better.
46	* BewareMyStingerTail: Subverted. It has a tail club, but never actually uses it.
47	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Replaces ''Pachycephalosaurus'' in the second game.
48	* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Dinosaur Hunter HD''.
49	* ToughArmoredDinosaur: Averted by its original counterpart which is small and harmless. Played straight with its much larger and more accurate ''Dinosaur Hunter HD'' incarnation.
50
51	!!''Pachycephalosaurus''
52	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carnivores_pachycephalosaurus.png
53	----
54	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
55	Small and not very dangerous, ''Pachycephalosaurus'' are better in the sensory department, and can thus be harder to hunt, and don't fight back. However, they lack much in the way of defense, and will run if they hear gunfire.
56
57	* AdaptationalWimp: A real ''Pachycephalosaurus'' probably wouldn't hesitate to [[HeadbuttingPachy use its head]] against you.
58	* HeadbuttingPachy: Subverted. It never tries to headbutt you at all, despite what the manual states.
59	* InformedSpecies: It has a blunter snout than the real animal, making it look more like a ''Prenocephale'' or a ''Stegoceras''.
60	* PutOnABus: Was removed along with ''Triceratops'' from the dinosaur roster in ''Carnivores 2''. However, [[TheBusCameBack it is available to hunt once more]] in ''Dinosaur Hunter''.
61
62	!!''Parasaurolophus''
63	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paras.png
64	----
65	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores'', ''Carnivores 2'', ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
66	A large herbivore, ''Parasaurolophus'' is the first "hard" quarry; it's senses are quite good, and as such it's often able to smell you before you see it. However, like the ''Pachycephalosaurus'', it will flee if it hears gunfire. This is only "difficult" because of it's high sensory abilities making it flee before you even knew it was there.
67
68	* AdaptationalWimp: The true ''Parasaurolophus'' was a massive, bulky duckbill that could hold its own rather decently against predators. Here, it's portrayed as the usual scaredy herbivore that runs away at any sign of danger.
69	* AnimalGenderBender: The ''Parasaurolophus'' in the games are all male, as they all have long crests.
70	* ArtEvolution: Was given a more accurate redesign in ''HD'' and ''Reborn''.
71	* FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: Unlike its real-life counterpart, the game version does not walk on all fours and is completely bipedal. Averted in ''Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Reborn''.
72	* SocialOrnithopod: Averted as it is always shown by itself (though to be fair, all the animals are). In ''Dinosaur Hunter HD'', it defies the "harmless hadrosaur" stereotype by attacking and killing the player with a headbutt.
73	* TookALevelInBadass: Surprisingly, in ''Dinosaur Hunter HD''.
74
75	!!''Triceratops''
76	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trikes.png
77	----
78	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD''
79	The first dangerous animal you can hunt, the ''Triceratops'' will not hesitate to charge at you if you shoot it. It will not flee from gunfire, instead choosing to charge at it.
80
81	* {{Acrofatic}}: One of the chubbiest dinosaurs you'll find, but still a rather speedy runner.
82	* ArtEvolution: Was given a somewhat more accurate redesign for ''HD'' and ''Reborn''.
83	* {{Expy}}: Behaves much like a real-world rhinoceros, and won't attack unless you wound it.
84	* HornAttack: Of course!
85	* RhinoRampage: Can be best summed up as a reptilian rhino.
86	* PutOnABus: For ''Carnivores 2'', both it and ''Pachycephalosaurus'' were replaced by ''Chasmosaurus'' and ''Ankylosaurus'' respectively. While ''Pachycephalosaurus'' has been re-added to the game's mobile ports, ''Triceratops'' has yet to be re-implemented. On the other hand, [[TheBusCameBack it did return]] in ''HD'' and ''Reborn''.
87	* TemperCeratops: It is the first aggressive dinosaur the player hunts, in contrast to the other herbivorous dinosaurs.
88	* TheCameo: Can be seen in the menu art of ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter''.
89	* WarmUpBoss: Being the first dangerous animal the player can unlock, this counts.
90
91	!!''Chasmosaurus''
92	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chasmo.png
93	----
94	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores 2'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
95	Like the ''Triceratops'', ''Chasmosaurus'' will attack only if wounded, and will otherwise run from the hunter.
96
97	* {{Acrofatic}}: One of the chubbiest dinosaurs you'll find, but still a rather speedy runner.
98	* {{Expy}}: Not only of a rhinoceros, but it's also obviously based on the ''Triceratops''. As you may have noticed, they both share several tropes. In fact, the ''Chasmosaurus'' was made from the Trike's AI, which can allow players to swap this dino for the Trike rather easily.
99	* HornAttack: [[Main/CaptainObvious Of course!]]
100	* InformedSpecies: Looks less like a ''Chasmosaurus'' (which had a longer, hollow frill and shorter horns as seen [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ftxmJ5q_ipM/VdKMpNixrJI/AAAAAAAAEW0/g2HCs3z9Upw/s1600/Chasmosaurus%2B%2528wm%2529.jpg here]]) and more like a revamped model for ''Triceratops''.
101	* RhinoRampage: Can be best summed up as a reptilian rhino.
102	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: It's pretty much here just to fill the gap left by its bigger cousin.
103	* TemperCeratops: It plays the same role as its bigger cousin as the only dangerous herbivorous dinosaur in the sequel.
104	* WarmUpBoss: Being the first dangerous animal the player can unlock in the sequel, this counts.
105
106	!!''Iguanodon''
107	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iguanodoncdh.jpg
108	----
109	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
110	A dinosaur added to the April 18, 2014 update of ''Dinosaur Hunter'', ''Iguanodon'' was first added as a pointable, secret ambient animal that would give points to the player when killed. Now, it's available as a huntable animal the players can choose.
111
112	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Has a creamy skin with bright-maroon splotches and sprites.
113	* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Averted real hard.
114	* IdleAnimation: Has quite a number of them. When walking, sometimes it will stop either to smell the air, stretch a leg, shake its body or rear on its hind legs and hoot.
115	* KillerRabbit: Looks rather harmless at first glance and will run away from the hunter if it's spotted, but will trample the player to death if they injure it.
116	* NoisyNature: Hoots and roars at times.
117	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In contrast with the game's other ornithopod, ''Parasaurolophus'', this guy has a more accurate design.
118	* SocialOrnithopod: Averted. Not only is it shown by itself, but its the only other herbivorous dinosaur besides the ceratopsids that is aggressive.
119	* StockSoundEffects: Utters boar sounds.
120
121	!!''Allosaurus''
122	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/allosaur.jpg
123	----
124	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores'', ''Carnivores 2'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
125	The first predator most people are able to hunt, ''Allosaurus'' boasts an impressive sense of smell, but its sight and hearing aren't that developed. Plus, its rather low health makes it easy to bring down quickly.
126
127	* AdaptationalWimp: While it can still kill and eat you, it's decidedly smaller and weaker than a real ''Allosaurus''.
128	* AnimalsNotToScale: It's a fair bit smaller than the real animal was on average.
129	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: There are plenty of things wrong with its portrayal. First, it bears little to no resemblance to the real deal, is rather small and its role in the food chain with ''Ceratosaurus'' has been swapped here.
130	* InformedSpecies: Looks more like some type of 90's inspired dromaeosaur. Apparently, its model was originally intended for the Raptor, before the latter got an overhaul and this model was used to represent ''Allosaurus'' instead.
131	* {{Mook}}: The weakest and most common carnivore, it will spawn even if players aren't hunting it.
132	* PutOnABus: It is absent in ''Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Reborn''. Interviews suggested it was going to be implemented in ''Reborn'' (apparently as a large, powerful predator like its real-life counterpart), but was cut out due to budget problems.
133	* TheGoomba: The first predator the players unlock, the weakest of them all and the most abundant.
134
135	!!''Velociraptor''
136	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/velociraptor.jpg
137	----
138	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores'', ''Carnivores 2'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
139	Smaller than ''Allosaurus'', but faster and more brutal, hunting this predator requires good reflexes, very few missed shots and needs the utmost care to hunt. With good senses, high speed and small size, it's no surprise that ''Velociraptor'' is off-limits for novice hunters.
140
141	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Has striped skin.
142	* AnimalsNotToScale: Like the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' raptors it's based on, it's closer in size to ''Deinonychus''.
143	* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Being based on the ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' raptors, this is a given.
144	* MascotMook: It's present in the main menu of the first game and also shows up in the cover for the sequel.
145	* {{Mook}}: Can show up even if you're not hunting it.
146	* PrimalFear: It's small size and similarity to the harmless ''Gallimimus'' from a distance, in addition to it's high speed, leads to many being attacked from behind.
147	* PutOnABus: Despite its considerable popularity, it's absent from the ''HD'' and ''Reborn'' remakes of the game. There were plans for it to be added in ''Reborn'', but unfortunately budget problems prevented that from happening.
148	* RaptorAttack: Standard 90's pseudo-''Franchise/JurassicPark'' fare. The only redeeming thing about it is possibly its portrayal as a solitary hunter.
149	* StockSoundEffects: Not to the extent of the ''T. rex'' roar, but the ''Carnivores'' raptor calls have shown up in a number of works since.
150	* TheCameo: For ''Carnivores: Cityscape'', it shows up in the game's cover and the disc art.
151	* UndergroundMonkey: Shares the same AI as ''Allosaurus''
152	* WakeUpCallBoss: While it behaves much like ''Allosaurus'', it's faster, possesses some more health, it's more vicious in its attacks and will surely be the first predator to give you a hard time.
153
154	!!''Dilophosaurus''
155	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c2dilophosaurus01.jpg
156	----
157	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn'' (unreleased)
158	A new dinosaur species planned for ''Dinosaur Hunter''. It hasn't been released yet, but it's found within the game's files.
159
160	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Unknown since it's still unreleased. However chances are it will be modeled after the ''Film/JurassicPark'' ''Dilophosaurus'' one way or another.
161	* CanonImmigrant: It was only a matter of time before this species appeared in a ''Carnivores'' game given its popularity. However fans have already made their own versions as mods before.
162	* CarnivoresAreMean: Presumably, since most of the series' predators can and will try to kill the player. Then again, [[EverythingTryingToKillYou anything can and will kill the player]].
163
164	!!''Troodon''
165	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/troodon4.png
166	----
167	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
168	A new animal for ''Dinosaur Hunter'', ''Troodon'' is a slender carnivore with excellent vision that can spot hunters and preys alike from a large distance.
169
170	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Is light green with orange stripes.
171	* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: It's larger and more fierce than its Earth counterpart. Albeit there were rather big-sized troodontids living in the Artic regions of Earth during Cretaceous times.
172	* InformedSpecies: Lacks the famous "killing claw" most deinonychosaurs are known to have, making it look more like an oversized compsognathid of sorts. Even worse, its official art does depict it with one on each foot.
173	* RaptorAttack: Lack of feathers aside, this guy is mistakenly represented without the "killing claw" most members of the deinonychosaur family were known to possess.
174
175	!!''Spinosaurus''
176	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spiny.png
177	----
178	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores 2'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
179	Despite the ungainly appearance, large sail and rather weak-sounding calls, ''Spinosaurus'' is as dangerous as ''Allosaurus''. This predatory animal has good speed and senses, and is slightly larger than the ''Allosaurus''. It requires good skills, but is not as dangerous as the biggest quarry available.
180
181	* AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed, it still can kill and eat you, but does have more health than ''Allosaurus'' and ''Velociraptor''. It's smaller than the real ''Spinosaurus'' though. The September 2015 iOS update for ''Dinosaur Hunter'' did increase its size, however.
182	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: New discoveries imply that ''Spinosaurus'' was a largely aquatic predator. This Spino, on the other hand, is differently proportioned and spends its time on land where it hunts other creatures.
183	* GiantMook: Pretty much a bigger, meaner version of ''Allosaurus'' and ''Velociraptor''. Like those two, it can also spawn even if you're not hunting it. This is more evident in the iOS version of ''Dinosaur Hunter'', where an update dramatically increased its size.
184	* IdleAnimation: Has the same walking animations as ''Allosaurus'' and ''Velociraptor'', but will occasionally stop to sniff the air.
185	* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: It has a very crocodile-like face and can prove itself to be a big threat.
186	* SavageSpinosaurs: While smaller than the real animal (though more built for terrestrial life), it is still a threat.
187	* ShownTheirWork: Before ''Film/JurassicParkIII'' came out, this was one of the few depictions of ''Spinosaurus'' that showed it with an accurate (for the time) head and jaw during a time when lay dinosaur enthusiasts still thought it was ''Allosaurus'' with a sail on its back.
188	* UndergroundMonkey: Has the same AI and behavior as ''Allosaurus'' and ''Velociraptor'', the only major difference being its IdleAnimation.
189
190	!!''Utahraptor''
191	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/utahraptor2.png
192	----
193	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
194	A big-sized dromaeosaur from the mobile port, ''Utahraptor'' boasts great speed, excellent sight and smell. It's rather ruthless in its attacking methods and does not get scared easily.
195
196	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The real ''Utahraptor'' was a much more bizarre animal and didn't really look like an oversized ''Deinonychus''.
197	* {{Expy}}: The way it kills its prey is a throwback to the ''Smilodon'' from the third game, ''Ice Age''.
198	* FeatheredFiend: Albeit barely as it only has a small pelt on its head.
199	* FragileSpeedster: It's quite speedy, but not very strong, yet it can still take some more punishment than the smaller ''Velociraptor''.
200	* RaptorAttack: As usual, it's portrayed as a huge, scaly beast with nothing more than a feathery mohawk on its head.
201	* ShownTheirWork: Its hands are not pronated (they face each other, rather than facing backwards), making it rather accurate in this regard.
202	* UndergroundMonkey: Is for all intents and purposes, a bigger and meaner ''Velociraptor''.
203
204	!!''Ceratosaurus''
205	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ceratos.png
206	----
207	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores 2'', ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
208	Introduded in ''Carnivores 2'', this theropod is noticeable for the horn on its nose. ''Ceratosaurus'' boasts impressive senses and is strong enough to take a fair share of punishment before falling down. Furthermore, it is one of the largest predators on the planet, and one of the strongest.
209
210	* AdaptationalWimp: In ''Carnivores 2'', it is the second largest carnivorous dinosaur to hunt and basically a slightly downsized ''T. rex'' with a horn. Its ''HD'' version, however, is a medium-sized predator.
211	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Its ''HD'' and ''Reborn'' incarnation has red scales with black stripes and a creamy underbelly. Mutant ''Ceratosauruses'' are golden with black or green spots too.
212	* AnimalsNotToScale: See HistoricalBadassUpgrade below.
213	* ArtEvolution: For ''HD'' and ''Reborn'' it was given a somewhat more accurate redesign and a size closer to its real life counterpart.
214	* BigEater: In ''HD'' and ''Reborn'', it will gladly eat the downed dinos the player has killed or tranquilized. This can be used to lure them, though.
215	* EliteMook: Very powerful and resistent, it's rather hard to bring it down and it's more challenging than all the previous predators you've hunted.
216	* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: This ''Ceratosaurus'' is much larger and more monstrous than its Earth counterpart, apparently having a case of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_gigantism insular gigantism]]. Subverted in ''HD'' and ''Reborn''.
217	* IdleAnimation: Much like Spino and ''T. rex'', it will stop in its track to smell the air.
218	* ImplacableMan: If you shoot it, the creature will storm at you from the other side of the island until either of you will die. [[spoiler:Not as bad as ''T. rex'' though]]
219	* KickTheDog: Its ''HD'' and ''Reborn'' incarnation will eat any of the dinos you've shot down, which can be rather frustrating, but can also be used against it.
220	* LightningBruiser: Very quick on its feet despite its size and bulk.
221	* SlasherSmile: Sports a rather chilling one that can make ''The Joker himself'' proud.
222	* WakeUpCallBoss: The first big-sized predator you unlock in the sequel, and one of the most difficult hunts.
223	* YouAreAlreadyDead: Unlike ''Tyrannosaurus'', which roars once it spots you, ''Ceratosaurus'' gives no warning whatsoever, so when a Cerato sees you, it'll just suddenly spring towards you and chow on your dead body.
224
225	!!''Carnotaurus''
226	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carno_0.jpg
227	----
228	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
229	Yet another new dinosaur for the mobile port, ''Carnotaurus'' was the second new huntable animal made for the game, after ''Utahraptor'' and ''Troodon''. It is a very fast dinosaur, but has a hard time turning around, which players can exploit, and is also surprisingly skittish for its size.
230
231	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Has orange skin, a white underbelly and dark brown stripes, similar to a tiger.
232	* BewareTheSillyOnes: When not hunting, it walks around the map in a rather clumsy, even somewhat adorable-looking gait, but it's still a very ferocious predator and can run way faster than other animals.
233	* CowardlyLion: Unusually scaredy for an animal of its size.
234	* CripplingOverspecialization: It's a very speedy dinosaur, but can only run well in a straight line and is not good at laps. This is TruthInTelevision.
235	* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Bigger and more powerful than the real animal.
236	* LightningBruiser.
237	* SignatureRoar: A throaty, guttural growl.
238	* ShownTheirWork: Much like the real ''Carnotaurus'', it is an adept runner but can't make sharp turns. And while its forelimbs are facing the wrong way, they are realistically stubby and lack claws.
239	* UndergroundMonkey: Has a more-or-less similar role to ''Ceratosaurus''.
240
241	!!''Gigantoraptor''
242	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gigant.jpg
243	----
244	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
245	An incredibly tall, feathered theropod, ''Gigantoraptor'' was added along with ''Carnotaurus'' to the 2013 update of ''Dinosaur Hunter''. This bird-like being may not look very intimidating at first glance, but its speed and hunger for meat make it a force to be reckoned with.
246
247	* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: Has green feathers on most of its body with a blue stripe running down from its neck to its back and scarlet feathers on its head, arms and tail.
248	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: While it does have feathers adorning its body, its arms are still incorrectly covered in them.
249	* BeautyIsBad: ''Gigantoraptor'' is a fairly beautiful, colorful creature, but is a ferocious hunter. Granted, it is not an outright villain, just a predator trying to survive.
250	* TheBigGuy: The tallest known theropod on FMM UV-32, but ''Tyrannosaurus'' and ''Giganotosaurus'' are still larger and heavier than it.
251	* BrightIsNotGood: Very pretty to look at, but also very aggressive.
252	* FeatheredFiend: So very much.
253	* MixAndMatchCritters: Looks like a hybrid between a parrot and an ostrich at first glance.
254	* LeanAndMean: Is very tall, lanky and downright ferocious.
255	* LightningBruiser: ''Gigantoraptor'' moves very nimbly for its size, which is justified thanks to its slender built.
256	* ShownTheirWork: It is (mostly) accurately depicted with a healthy feathery covering on its body.
257	* StockSoundEffects: Its roars seem to have been modified from elk bugles.
258
259	!!''Tyrannosaurus rex''
260	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rexes.png
261	----
262	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores'', ''Carnivores 2'', ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD'' and ''Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn''
263	The biggest, baddest and most dangerous carnivore in the game. This theropod is the epitome of ''perfection''; extreme speed, awesome senses, great size; the ''T. rex'' has it all. The only place any hunter could feasibly shoot to kill a ''T. rex'' in is it's rather small eyes.
264
265	* ArtEvolution: Like many other classic dinosaurs of the series, it earns a more updated redesign in ''Dinosaur Hunter Reborn'' and ''HD''.
266	* AttackItsWeakPoint: Only two known; the eye and the roof of the mouth. In ''HD'' and ''Reborn'', shooting inside its mouth is a OneHitKill.
267	* BigEater: In ''HD'' and ''Reborn'', it will gladly eat the downed dinos the player has killed or tranquilized. This can be used to lure them, though.
268	* BossInMookClothing: ''AND HOW''.
269	* GoForTheEye: The most known place to hit this tyrant to put it out.
270	* FinalBoss: The closest thing these games have to one, it's the biggest, most powerful of all the huntable dinosaurs, is often the last prey to be unlocked and you almost always fight it in the game's most difficult maps, where many environmental hazards or wandering dinosaurs can kill you as well.
271	* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Real Rexes were pretty badass, but this guy has extreme senses, super speed, can climb mountains up and down and is perfectly fine with chasing you across a whole island just to get you. The ''HD'' and ''Reborn'' incarnation is tamer, but still quite dangerous on its own.
272	* KickTheDog:
273	** Once it's killed you, rather than eating you, it will swing your body from side to side and then smash it on the ground repeatedly.
274	** Its ''HD'' and ''Reborn'' incarnation will eat any of the dinos you've shot down, which can be rather frustrating, but can also be used against it.
275	* LightningBruiser: Running away from one is of no use, as this Rex is way faster than you.
276	* ImplacableMan: If it sees you, it hunts you down. Nothing gets in it's way.
277	* KnightOfCerebus: The game's mood gets real dark when you get to hunt this guy, as any wrong movement could easily give away your position. Even worse, the Fort Ciskin map from the second game reveals that the titular settlement was brutally attacked and destroyed by one of these guys.
278	* RoarBeforeBeating: Once it's seen you, it will roar loudly before going in for the kill.
279	* SuperPersistentPredator: As mentioned above, a single Rex can chase you across ''an entire island'' just to get you.
280	* StockSoundEffects: The Carnivores ''T-Rex'' roars have become this over the years; for example, the ''Dino Crisis'' ''Tyrannosaurus'' uses them.
281	* YouAreAlreadyDead: If you weren't fast enough to shoot the Rex's eye while it was roaring, you are already dino fodder.

348	----
349	->'''Appears in:''' ''Carnivores: Ice Age'' (including mobile ports)
350	* CanisMajor: It’s a wolf that stands about as tall as a man.
351	* EarlyBirdBoss: The wolf is the third animal to appear in the third game, and created as a challenge for beginners. Unlike the Brontoteriy and wild boar before it, this creature will start pursuing you once it detects you, and is quite fast as well. This will give you an especially hard time if you are armed with just a pistol, though once you get a [[DiscOneNuke shotgun]] it becomes much easier since the wolf is a one-hit kill.
352	* {{Expy}}: Of a normal gray/timber wolf. Justified, since it wasn't until 2021 that the dire wolf was reassigned to the genus ''Aenocyon'', due to its genetic dissimilarities with the gray wolf.
353	* KickTheDog: Rather than eating you, it will thrash you around like a chew toy.

391	* HolidayMode: Originally had a Santa hat during the mobile port's Christmas release. A later update removed it.
392	* MightyGlacier: It's hilariously slow, however it can take '''alot''' of damage and its tail is a fearsome weapon. Justified since glyptodonts had large heavy armor-like shells and short legs.
393	* WakeUpCallBoss: The introduction of the Doedicurus marks a point in which the game really starts challenging you, mostly due to its extremely high health (it takes five hits with a shotgun to kill it).

439	* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti
440	* FinalBoss: Of ''Ice Age''.
441	* FourFingeredHands: Or rather three-fingered hands. For some reason its hands and feet are shaped more like a theropod's as opposed to a usual hominid's.
442	* IdleAnimation: Humorously, it will sometimes scratch its butt and sniff its hand when it stops walking.
443	* KickTheDog: Once it's grabbed you, rather than eating you, it will smash you on the ground repeatedly.
444	* KillerGorilla: It resembles a white gorilla with red face, hands, feet and stomach (possibly covered with ''blood'').
445	* KnightOfCerebus: As the first "bonus" animal of the franchise, it remains a dark mystery until unlocked. After unlocking it, the Yeti is the scariest animal to hunt in the entire game, thanks to it's mostly-white fur and absurd speed.
446	* LightningBruiser: Once a Yeti sees you, it ''barrels towards you''.
447	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: It stands out among the other creatures in the series, since it is based on a cryptid instead of an extinct animal from Earth's prehistory. It is possible that it is loosely based on the prehistoric ape ''Gigantopithecus'', which was an ape that was larger than a human.
448	* PrimalChestPound: Its other IdleAnimation has it pounding its chest while roaring.
449	* ShownTheirWork: Like real-life gorillas, it beats its chest by slapping rather than punching.
450	* YouAreAlreadyDead: You only need to get in range of it's long arms for it to kill you. And it moves ''ridiculously'' fast, so you may get blindsided by Yetis a few times.

493	* AquaticSauropods: Although they are never fully submerged, they will sometimes wade in the water.
494	* GentleGiantSauropod: It is the biggest dinosaur in the game, yet is unable to harm the player.
495	* GiantEqualsInvincible: It' the largest dinosaur on the planet and it has nothing to fear from anything, be it predators or human hunters. Gameplay-wise, it is completely '''unkillable''' (even if using debug mode and/or hacks).
496	* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: The real life ''Brachiosaurus'' is still killable ([[CaptainObvious obviously]], seeing as it's extinct), unlike the one in this game.
497	* InformedSpecies: Like most pop-culture depictions, it's more closely based on ''Giraffatitan'' than the real ''Brachiosaurus'' (seeing as the former is better represented from fossil material and was formerly considered a species of ''Brachiosaurus'').
