Description
Not all Long-Necked Goliaths were peaceful herbivores, however. Some species, like Gigantovenator (A) and Dolichofatalis (B) were fearsome predators.
Gigantovenator lived during the Middle Jurassic in what is now modern-day Europe, with the first fossils of it being found in England. Measuring a massive 45 feet long and weighing in at over 12 tons, these apex predators tore their victims apart with snapping fang-filled jaws, powerful blows from their tails, and their great taloned feet. In addition, the creature's flesh contained a noxious toxin, capable of bringing down immense predators - an adaptation to protect itself from the True Tyrants it coexisted with.
Dolichofatalis, on the other hand, was a fairly basal Long-Necked Goliath, of the same family as Therizinonychus. Measuring 20 feet in length and weighing as much as an African elephant, these solitary creatures were equally capable of moving either on all fours or on two legs, thanks to their long, powerful forearms and hind legs, which all sported large, sharp hooked claws. Unlike Gigantovenator, this native of early Jurassic Germany lived in upland areas, and had quite powerful jaws designed for crushing bones and cracking the early turtles - a mirror image of the larger, more powerful weapons of death evolved by Manospondylus and Dynamosaurus of the Late Cretaceous.

Another retro-prosauropod, as well as a Long-Necked Goliath proper, and holy Jesus shitting Christ was it hard to pin down its head shape.
Some more conventional long-necked goliaths will be next.
