The Deinonychus[]
I vision the Deinonychus pecking order as somewhat like this:
- Alpha female (Nyx)
- Secondary female(s) (Aquila), Alpha female's mate (Desipis)
- Secondary female(s) mate(s) (Sobek)
The Deinonychus basically pick after the kills of larger carnivores, killing small ornithomimids when necessary. This social structure is used by real life hyenas, and their behavior in the park(scavengers that pick the scraps of kills made by larger predators) is similar as well.
Name Origins[]
Nyx: The greek personification of the night.
Aquila: Latin for Eagle.
Desipis: Latin for Insane. A very predator-sounding name.
Sobek: The Egyptian crocodile god.
Fenris: A gigantic wolf in Norse mythology, fortold to kill Odin during Ragnarok.
In The Game[]
Fenris is a real T-rex on my Isla Pena. The Deinonychus are actually in his enclosure, and yes, I do put Torosaurus and Struthiomimus inside for them to hunt and rack up combat rating.
