An allosaurus (pronounced: /ællˈsɑːrʌsæl-lo-SAR-us[8] about this audio file listen), also referred to as flesh Lizard by the inhabitants of the Malatran Plateau,[1] was a large species of carnivorous dinosaur.[2]

Description[]

Allosaurs were large, fast and powerful hunters possessing sharp claws.[2]

Combat[]

An allosaurus could easily run down prey on open ground. Once it caught a creature it would use its claws to pounce it and pin it down.[2]

Ecology[]

One of the colleges of the Tabaxi city of Mezro was known to ask explorers to hunt and capture a live allosaurus in exchange for jungle training or teaching the Tabaxi language.[9]

Habitats[]

Allosaurs were commonly found in the jungles of Chult.[7]

Beyond the Prime Material plane, some could be found in the Forbidden Plateau.[10]

Notable allosaurs[]

  • Bonecruncher, an ill-tempered racing allosaurus from Port Nyanzaru.[11]
  • Nasty Boy, a racing allosaurus from Port Nyanzaru.[11]
