Description
Although very ornery and deadly, Ceratosaurus is not as high up on the food chain as its larger counterparts are. Contrary to Allosaurus’ life in the plains, Ceratosaurus likes to live near large bodies of water, as prey is plentiful there. It generally focuses on small, slow-moving prey such as Amphicotylus and Mymoorapelta, often times taking them by surprise before killing them with a lacerating bite. However, it is not above scavenging the carcasses of giant herbivores such as Stegosaurus and Brontosaurus; in fact, it is capable of guarding them with such a ferocious aggression that even the boldest Allosaurus would back down and find food somewhere else. Ceratosaurus is a largely solitary animal, occupying a somewhat large territory which it often defends diligently; however, during the mating season, it is more tolerant of other Ceratosaurus, and it will even form monogamous pair bonds that can last for a long time. Both male and female Ceratosaurus have large, brightly-colored, horn-like crests that they sometimes flash brilliantly; combined with their short temper, this can help deter would-be-attackers from causing any harm to them. Juvenile Ceratosaurus are lighter and faster than adults; this allows them to flee from attackers, as well as to pursue small prey items such as Othnielosaurus.

"You say he's the Triceratops of Theropoda, huh? More like the Centrosaurus of Theropoda."

My third major Saurian sequel playable drawing, featuring the triple-crested, stocky Ceratosaurus! Any thoughts so far?
