Description
Spinoceratops – also commonly known as ‘Sino-spino’ – is an omnivorous hybrid that was created from the DNA of Sinoceratops and Spinosaurus. The genus’ appearance takes characteristics from both of its ancestors, featuring the pronounced horns of Sinoceratops and the sail of a Spinosaurus – resulting in its name, which translates to ‘spined, horned face’. This genus can grow to in excess of six tons, and more than 10 meters long.
Discovery
This genus is a creation of Mantah Corp, a bioengineering company that rivals InGen. The corporation has genetically engineered Spinoceratops to survive in arctic conditions by regulating its body temperature. Unlike most other genera of dinosaur, behavior varies significantly between individual specimens.
Paleoecology
As it is a relatively new genus, research into Spinoceratops is ongoing. Experts believe that it takes its paleoecology primarily from its Sinoceratops DNA, living a tranquil existence off a primarily plant-based diet. However it does feed on fish when necessary – a trait it borrows from its Spinosaurus genes. Designed to live in cold environments, Spinoceratops is not suited to desert conditions.
Cohabitation Preferences
Behaviors are scripted in game files but are not guaranteed to happen. Dominance, territory, and traits determine whether they would actually fight.
