Pycnonemosaurus is a large terrestrial carnivore. It is an abelisaurid that takes on a fast moving, pursuit predator style of gameplay, using its ability to charge as both a weapon and ambush tactic to catch prey.
Description[]
The Pycnonemosaurus is a large abelisaurid with long, muscular legs. Its subspecies offer a range of speculative horns ranging from large and curved to small nubs on the brow. Pycnonemosaurus compensates for its small, functionless arms with powerful neck muscles and a strong skull for biting and charging. While Pycnonemosaurus is taller and faster than many playables in Path of Titans, its high speed is at the cost of its ability to take damage.
Paleo Info[]
Pycnonemosaurus (meaning 'dense forest lizard') is a genus of carnivorous theropod dinosaur that belonged to the family Abelisauridae and it is currently the largest member of Abelisauridae. It was found in the Upper Cretaceous Bauru-type red conglomerate sandstones of the Adamantina Formation, Mato Grosso, Brazil, and it lived about 70 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian stage). Pycnonemosaurus belongs to the clade Furileusauria inside the family Abelisauridae.
