Description A size chart of the various Allosaurus species (including Saurophagnax and Epanterias). Each individual represented roughly showcases the average size the species would've achieved, although with some leniency due to lack of sample size. 

Allosaurus amplexus:
Scaling based off of AMNH 5767, A. amplexus clocks in around 12.4 meters in length, making it the largest creature on the chart. Reconstructively, it was made the most robust species due to larger theropods tending to have unique proportions compared to medium theropods. Material from "Monster of Masonville" was used to form various aspects of the skull shape. 
Allosaurus maximus:
Scaled to OMHH 1935 with theoretical robust proportions as well. Skull shape is modified from the traditional Saurophagnax reconstruction.
Allosaurus fragilis:
A general average of various specimens, but primarily centered around the "Ebenezer" specimen size, being seen as an "optimal" average specimen. 
Allosaurus jimmadseni:
Various specimens, such as Big Al, Big Al 2, and Dracula used to create some anatomical features, though uses Big Al 2 for scaling and skull shape.
Allosaurus europaeus:
Based off various specimens.

Although fairly non-important, various physical traits can be seen being developed across the species, with more basal species (A. jimmadseni) having more reduced features, with larger species having amplified features (feature scale spines, dewlap, crest size).
