Spinosaurus is a Tyrant subclass in Primal Carnage and Primal Carnage: Extinction. It is notable for its crocodile-like jaws, large, brightly-coloured sail, and long arms ending in three formidable claws on each hand.
Summary[]
Spinosaurus is currently the largest carnivorous dinosaur on the island. They are starting to become more present on the island, and this means it gets into competitions for food with other predators like T. rex. Spinosaurus is usually a fish eater, which means it hunted for fish near rivers. However, the Spinosaurs on the island are perfectly equipped to easily kill prey on land. They have also grown to love the taste of human flesh. It is advised to take extreme caution when dealing with these animals as they are very dangerous and difficult to kill.
The Spinosaurs on the island have a very large, brightly colored sail on their back which scientists think is used for thermoregulation and display. Spinosaurus is also equipped with large claws that are used to catch fish. However, the Spinosaurs on the island have learned to use their claws as a weapon against humans. Observations on the Spinosaurus population also conclude that they are evolving to become more of a terrestrial predator than that of a fish eater.
Abilities[]
Bite: The Spinosaurus can use its jaws to grab an unlucky human. Like other bite attacks, the Spinosaurus regains health when used.
Swipe: The Spinosaurus can use its claws to swipe at enemies below it. This is currently a Stamina Draining attack with minimal damage and knocks the target back, giving them more time to shoot.
Armor Boost: Roaring makes your teammates physical damage resistance greater for a short time. However, this move has a cooldown.
Trample: Simply walking on your foes flattens them to a pancake after a set amount of damage.
Strategy[]
As a subclass, Spinosaurus shares many characteristics of Tyrannosaurus such as its lethal bite, being able to trample humans under foot, and buff teammates via its roar ability. Like all Tyrants, its mobility is limited by its size, preventing it from chasing humans through certain areas. It is also vulnerable to attacks coming from behind.

Development[]
Spinosaurus is often seen fighting Tyrannosaurus in dinosaur media, and a promotional trailer showed it being taken down by T. rex before the release of the original game. Of course, in actual gameplay the two Tyrants set aside their differences and work together when there are humans to eat.
Originally added exclusively forGet to the Chopper in Primal Carnage, it became playable for all ranked game modes in Primal Carnage: Extinction.
