Description Diablodon was a midsized True Tyrant measuring about 35 feet in length that lived during the Late Jurassic, hunting in small packs in order to bring down Spiked-Tailed Goliaths and smallish Long-Necked Goliaths. Their spiked tails, sharp talons, and slicing teeth made short work of most prey, but their real trump card was in their sheer aggression. A highly developed endocrine system allowed the retrosaur to utterly ignore pain that would leave most animals rolling on the ground in agony and push its body far past its normal limits in short-lived bursts of berserker rage.

Unlike the mighty predators it lurked in the shadows of, Putridodon was a loathsome scavenger that stuck to the shadows of Late Cretaceous North America, feasting on the dead and dying. Its legs were considerably shorter than those of its relatives, and its body was quite sleek and almost serpentine, with smooth snake-like scales, a somewhat elongated neck, and a long, flexible tail. A long forked tongue allowed the creature to detect fresh and less-than-fresh carrion, and unhinging jaws allowed it to gulp down large carcasses with ease. Incredibly toxic bacteria within its maw and venom-injecting fangs ensured that anything that survived its bite would be doomed to a slow, agonizing death.

A native of Middle Cretaceous South America, Ceratovenator was a 20-foot-long solitary predator that stalked the continent's fern prairies, using the impressive horns atop its head to fight over mates and running down prey with its powerful legs, kicking and stomping them to death with the vicious talons on its feet.

Hailing from Late Jurassic Germany, Piscinychus was relatively small for True Tyrants, 'only' about 15 feet or so, and was quite lightly built, with a deep tail, a long neck, webbed feet, an elongated snout lined with cone-shaped teeth that are perfect for catching fish, and unusually long front legs, allowing the creature to walk on all fours. Diving into bodies of water in pursuit of fish, amphibians, and aquatic reptiles, this peculiar retrosaur is believed to have been fairly social, living in small packs of five or so animals.

Retrosaurs had a lot tougher hide than dinosaurs did, as well as the crocodilian habit of being basically immune to infections.

Diablodon reminds me a little bit of Gorosaurus, Ceratovenator reminds of Rajastega from JW:TG, and Piscinychus's head reminds me a little bit of a pterosaur's skull.
