[1]Deinonychus is an extinct genus of small theropod dinosaur that lived during the Aptian and Albian stages of the Cretaceous period (approximately 115-108 million years ago). Its genus name is greek for "terrible claw", and refers to the enlarged, hooklike claw on the second toe of the animal's feet. The exact function of this claw is unknown, but unlike the Velociraptors of Jurassic Park (which were based on Deinonychus), the rounded and blunt underside of the claw would've made incapable of slicing open and disemboweling prey.
In-game[]
Deinonychus is currently not in Dino Run. It will be one of the playable dinosaurs in Dino Run 2.
In Dino Run 2[]
Deinonychus is one of the dinosaurs planned for Dino Run 2. Unlike the player-controlled raptor from the first game, the Deinonychus in Dino Run 2 is covered in brightly colored feathers. Giving it a fiery appearance. [2]According to a post on the Pixlejam Twitter page, Deinonychus will have a "raking-dive attack", although there is currently no information surrounding this ability. Some of the Dino Run 2 artwork depicts the Deinonychus jumping in the air in a position that is similar to a diving bird of prey, so it's possible that this "raking-dive" or "rend" (as shown in the Deinonychus' profile) is some kind of pounce attack that can be used to dispatch smaller animals.
