Primal Carnage is an Asymmetric Multiplayer game developed by Lukewarm Media, an independent company. The game's premise centers on a team of mercenaries being sent to an island to correct an experiment gone wrong. This takes the form of shooting up some dinosaurs. In the game, you get to play as several types of dinosaurs and pterosaurs. The basic gameplay can be described as a mix of Left 4 Dead's Versus Mode and Team Fortress 2, and follows many of the same principles, but with dinosaurs. Besides, who doesn't want to play as a big red Tyrannosaurus rex chomping down on overconfident humans?“The Island”, a strange hidden world where man has taken the ultimate leap in science, where the long lost wonders of the distant past have been recreated, wonders which walk hand in hand with atrocities of the darkest nature. At present the facilities lie destroyed and abandoned, all the experiments have ceased, the buildings empty, the screams... silenced. The most meticulous of plans could not prepare them for the horrors they set upon themselves, horrors now running free across The Island.The humans must reclaim the island they once owned, and destroy the creations that have turned upon them. But for the dinosaurs, the island is now their home, and they will not allow this to happen so easily. Two deadly predators from opposite ends of Earth's history clash on a tropical paradise. The question is: which one will come out on top? Well, that's up for you to decide...The official site can be found here. Development was largely dependent on donations for some time, and those were encouraged with inside peeks. (Donations have now been closed, however.)A sequel, Primal Carnage: Extinction, was launched in late 2014 and left Early Access in mid-2015. The game is more or less an "upgrade" of the original game, with more features, playable dinosaurs, and game modes added. A prequel spin-off single-player game, called Genesis, was announced a couple of years earlier, but has since been put on hold, most likely to focus on developing Extinction. | |

Cherry Tapping: There's an achievement for killing a Tyrant using a pistol (this can also be done with the Commando's Desert Eagle, which does much more damage than the standard MK, at the expense of firing speed). | |

Multi-Mook Melee | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_119dc902 | comment |
Multi-Mook Melee: Besides the main PVP, a wave-based PVE horde mode against A.I. controlled dinosaurs is also available. Since it's not the game's main mode, it's not quite as polished as dedicated horde shooter games like Killing Floor 2 or the like, but it can be played in co-op or even in solo offline if no one's online. | |

Never Split the Party | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_15adb9a8 | comment |
Never Split the Party: It's heavily encouraged for human players to stay together in a group, because many of the small dinosaurs have One-Hit Kill incapacitation moves (particularly the Pteranodon, the Novaraptor, and the Oviraptor) unless they're shot off by another player, and most large dinosaurs have too much health for one player to easily kill. Most of the characters also have placable objects (either in the form of traps or health/ammo pickups) which work best when they stick together in one location. A good sign the human team is struggling is if all the players are split up around the map. This is true to a lesser extent with the dinosaurs, which operate best in a group of multiple different types to make up for their individual weaknesses. A Tyrant makes a huge, slow target that most of the humans will inevitably focus on, but when backed up by numerous small dinosaurs, they can swarm the humans while the enemy team is occupied with the bigger target. The Bruisers can do heavy damage to a number of humans at once, but have no One-Hit Kill moves and limited close-range maneuvering, making it much easier for others to finish off the weakened humans. The Spitters are not particularly strong individually, but their long-range venom and speed make them extremely good at weakening, disorienting, and separating the humans for the other dinosaurs. | |

Heal Thyself | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_17761744 | comment |
Heal Thyself: There's no Medic equivalent in this game (sort of, the Commando has the option of throwing down mini health stations, but they only last for a few moments and heal ten health in spurts, and the Scientist can shoot tranq darts at team mates to heal a small amount of health). Instead, humans have single-use health packs scattered around the map, which will reappear, but only after a while, to prevent people from simply camping a health station. | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: The human team doing well relies on the cohesion of the players; if they don't stick together, it is much easier for the dinosaur team to slaughter them, owing to dinosaurs having a plethora of One-Hit Kill attacks, much more health, and great advantage of Hit-and-Run Tactics that gives them a massive advantage against lone humans. Very often, the human team's fate in a death-match is determined at the beginning of a round during the first real skirmish; if the human team is bulldozed right away, it's very hard to recover. | |

| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_17caab49 | comment |
Target Spotter: Both the Pteranodon and Tupandactylus have this ability, making any nearby humans visible as outlines through walls to all other dinosaur players for several seconds. The Scientist's sensor mines and tracking arrows also have a similar purpose for the human team, outlining any dinosaur that walks over them or is hit by them, respectively. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: While the exact details of the backstory are not made apparent, what is clear as that bringing dinosaurs back to life and making them tougher and more deadlier than what would've existed was a project that quickly grew too dangerous to control, leading to the complete abandonment of the island's facilities to its prehistoric creations. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: Because there's no friendly fire, it's actually beneficial for players to stand in the middle of a Pyromaniac's Molotov cocktail fire pool, because it will force dinosaurs to walk in and burn themselves in order to get to you. Similarly, it's actually helpful for a Pyromaniac to blast his flamethrower at a teammate who is being attacked by dinosaurs. | |

| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: Triceratops and Kaprosuchus are both referenced in different community-made maps, but neither animal appears anywhere in the game (not even as carcasses). This is a reference to the fact both species are supposedly "upcoming" but little update has been made on their status in years. There is also a hidden poster referencing Quetzalcoatlus as the "alpha" pterosaur in one of the maps. | |

The Medic | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_1bf47ada | comment |
The Medic: Despite drawing many similarities with Team Fortress 2, there's no direct Medic equivalent, since there are instead health stations scattered around the map, but the Commando has the option to drop health packs on the ground which heal ten health per second (although they will eventually disappear). Be warned though, these tend to be a favourite target for Cryolophosaurus spit, to prevent the humans from regaining their health. A later update allowed the Scientist to heal her allies by a small amount of health and grant them temporarily increased resistance to damage by shooting them with her tranquilizer dart gun. | |

Necessary Drawback | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155 | comment |
Necessary Drawback: Originally, the game had a "rock-paper-scissors"-like consideration between dinosaur and human class matchups. However, the addition of interchangeable weapons and more dinosaur types rendered this gameplay philosophy largely obsolete. That said, there are some general weaknesses each class possesses. The Scientist is a good long-range fighter with a sniper able to do huge damage to dinosaurs from any distance, but her melee options are limited, making her extremely vulnerable to up-close attacks from small dinosaurs. Her armour-piercing sniper does more damage than her standard sniper, but its fire rate is miserable; her poison dart gun does stack damage and can guarantee a fatal shot, but it requires pinpoint accuracy eight times in a row. The Commando has moderate-range, rapid-fire weapons capable of huge damage, but their accuracy tends to be low, making him good against big dinosaurs (Bruiser and Tyrant classes), but bad at hitting small ones. The carbine is more accurate and has less recoil than his standard assault rifle, but no rocket launcher and does less damage. The burst-fire has excellent aim and high damage, but it runs out of ammo quickly and isn't automatic. The Pathfinder's shotguns do catastrophic damage, but only at close range. This makes pterosaurs possibly his worst enemy, as their gameplay style allows them to quickly swoop in. He is able to alleviate this with a flare that blinds dinosaurs which get too close. The Pyromaniac has a weapon options are highly damaging at short range and very effective against small dinosaurs, but terrible at long range and have limited effect on large dinosaurs (although picking the flame launcher instead of the flamesaw will alleviate this, at the cost of being less effective against small dinosaurs). The Trapper is an extremely effective unit against small dinosaurs, due to having numerous weapons (a stun gun, a net gun, and bear traps) capable of temporarily stunning dinosaurs, allowing him to One-Hit Kill them with his knife. These weapons are much less effective against large dinosaurs, however. Tyrant dinosaurs have massive health and powerful moves, but they're a huge target and very slow. Bruisers have good speed and health, but overall terrible maneuverability. Predators are fast and have a One-Hit Kill move, but they can only take a few hits. Spitters have long-range attacks, but their strength is average and health is low. Flyers have unmatched speed and agility, but are obvious targets and difficult to attack with. | |

Palmtree Panic: The Dead Tide map is set within and around a series of wave-eroded stone archways, sandy coastline, tide pools, and exposed coral reefs bordering the ocean at low tide. The plentiful archways and reefs make excellent hiding spots for dinosaurs, so this is an extremely challenging map for human players. | |

| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_20e2a53b | comment |
Notice This: Pterosaurs have the ability to highlight nearby humans with their screech, allowing all other dinosaur players to see the humans as glowing red outlines anywhere on the map. The Scientist's sensor mines also do the same thing for dinosaurs that walk over them, as do her tracking arrows, which highlight dinosaurs shot by them. The Oviraptor has a similar ability, except that only the player can see the outlines, and the outlines will highlight humans that have low health; this is a very useful skill for a Fragile Speedster. When your health is low, health stations (the one-use health kit stations for humans, and the rotting carcasses for dinosaurs) are highlighted in glowing red outlines that are visible through walls. | |

Palette Swap | |

Palette Swap: Several of the newer dinosaur species are clear variants on the initial species with very similar animations, models, and attacks. They are mostly separated into "classes" under these designations. Of particular note is the Oviraptor, which is a faster, frailer Novaraptor, and the Tupandactylus, which is similar to Pteranodon, except its grab is replaced with a dive-bomb. | |

Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors: The classes were initially designed with this in mind, so that every dinosaur (and pterosaur) had a human class designed to take them down (and vice versa). However, this feature has been toned down. The various advantages some classes have over others are still present, but the game no longer adheres closely to the rock-paper-scissors system. | |

Easter Egg | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_29a39f6 | comment |
Easter Egg: There's an eatable carcass of a Liopleurodon on the Waterlogged map (which looks exactly like its appearance in Walking with Dinosaurs, minus the massive size), but it's tucked away far below the rest of the map. This is the only place in the entire game where it appears. The computer screens on the Borealis map show a list of dinosaurs in the game... plus a sparse mention of the Triceratops, which is not in the game, but was considered as a character repeatedly in development. There are fifteen boxes of dinosaur-themed cereal hidden around the various maps; finding all fifteen unlocks the achievement "Primal Cornage". In one of the maps, there's a secret room on the edge of the arena that is only accessible with the Dilophosaurus. Finding it unlocks an achievement. It is actually possible to find the Pathfinder's dog in-game (something that was planned as a gameplay mechanic but ended up scrapped in early development). | |

Bear Trap | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_2a9b1de6 | comment |
Bear Trap: The Trapper can place down bear traps which will do significant damage to any dinosaur that runs off them, and pin smaller dinosaurs to the ground, however, several dinosaurs can disable these traps, such as the Cryolophosaurus or Dilophosaurus spitting on them, or the Acrocanthosaurus' stomp attack. | |

Trap Master | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_2e492b94 | comment |
Trap Master: The Trapper, obviously. His main gimmick is a net gun which stops large dinosaurs from biting and will instantly down small dinosaurs, letting him One-Hit Kill them with his knife. He can also lay down electric mines, landmines, and bear traps which will stun and inflict damage on any dinosaur that walks over them. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
Glass Cannon: The Scientist can use her sniper rifle to dish out heavy damage to dinosaurs at long ranges, but seeing as her melee weapon is the weakest of all, and her sniper rifle is a liability at closer ranges, she will get swamped quickly. The Cryolophosaurus is even more frail than the Dilophosaurus, but is significantly more deadly, swapping blinding venom for an acidic, burning spit. The Novaraptor, when its "Frenzy" ability is active, becomes an extreme Glass Cannon. The ability completely drains its stamina, preventing it from running or jumping, but increases its attack speed and strength, turning it into a whirlwind of death. | |

Invisible Wall | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_2f755152 | comment |
Invisible Wall: Normally, geographical barriers like too-tall walls, the ocean, or cliffs are sufficient to keep the players inside the map. However, the pterosaurs are obviously able to fly over all of these, so they're subject to invisible barriers or will quickly die if they try to go outside the playable area. | |

Too Fast to Stop: This is the one major weakness of the Carnotaurus. It's strong, durable, and runs very fast, but it needs some distance to slow from its sprint and, similar to what is theorized of the real animal, can't make sharp turns. | |

Hollywood Acid | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_3133d1d7 | comment |
Hollywood Acid: The Cryolophosaurus is similar to the Dilophosaurus in that it spits damaging goo. However, rather than venom it launches glowing green acid. These can be aimed at the ground to create deadly Acid Pools which do Area of Effect damage to any human that steps in them (turning them into glowing green skeletons if it kills them). | |

| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_3401240 | comment |
Ground Pound: The Acrocanthosaurus's special ability. It will instantly kill any humans underfoot, causes significant damage and knock-back to anyone slightly further away (even through walls), and disables any nearby traps. The Tupandactylus has a dive bomb attack that functions similarly (although not quite as strong). The pterosaur will swoop down from high-up and land on the ground with great force, causing considerable damage and knock-back to any humans nearby. | |

Recruiting the Criminal: The Flavor Text for the Trapper says that he is wanted around the world for "uncountable offences". Basically he is a prolific poacher and criminal but his experience in capturing large dangerous animals means the "unknown peoples" hand-waved his criminal record because he was much too valuable to pass for the near-suicidal job of hunting genetically-modified dinosaurs. | |

Close-Range Combatant | |

Close-Range Combatant: The Pyromaniac and the Pathfinder are most much more effective at dealing with dinosaurs close up, as they wield a shotgun and flamethrower respectively (although the Pyromaniac can also swap out his flamethrower chainsaw for a shotgun-grenade launcher combo). Both also have flares that blind dinosaurs when they get too close. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: All the humans, with the exception of the Trapper, have the option to pick an MK pistol as their secondary weapon. It has mediocre damage and range, but its firing speed is good and it doesn't have any special gimmicks to take into account. The Scientist's default sniper rifle. It has decent rate of fire and clip size, and has good damage. The alternate rifles are one which pierces armour and does massive damage, but it has a smaller clip and abysmal firing rate, and a gimmicky poison-dart rifle which does only moderate damage at first, but stacks higher and higher damage for every hit made on the same target, culminating in a 100% fatality on the eighth shot, but as you might imagine getting eight hits in a row on the same target in rapid succession is rather difficult. | |

Kill Steal: It's possible for another dinosaur to hit a human that has been grasped by a Pteranodon, is in the process of being mauled by a Novaraptor or Oviraptor, and even while they're being eaten by a Tyrant. This can actually help them, because it's possible for their attack to fail if they get shot or don't have enough stamina. | |

Interesting Situation Duel | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_3c689563 | comment |
Interesting Situation Duel: Several maps have stage hazards which make the fight more difficult for either humans, dinosaurs, or both parties. Most commonly, the maps will be divided by a cliff or similar precipice with narrow bridges crossing over it. These act as effective chokepoints for humans, although pterosaurs also have an easier time by simply knocking or dropping humans off the narrow bridges. The Volcano map has a variant; instead of a cliff, the map is bisected by a river of lava. The Snowbound and Sandstorm Valley maps will periodically be obscured by whiteouts and sandstorms, respectively, greatly reducing visibility for all players. The Waterlogged map has sections with electric generators which cause continuous damage if anyone steps near them. The Contingency map is separated into a lower forest section and upper platform floor. Occasionally, an alarm can be sounded by a player that warns anyone in the atrium will be subject to containment contingency. After about a minute, the electric generators will One-Hit Kill anyone still within the centre of the map. The Airbase map is set during a thunderstorm at night, making it harder for the humans to spot the dinosaurs in the darkness. However, there are also more open areas for humans to group around, with fewer hiding spots for dinosaurs. | |

Zerg Rush | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: Similar to their behaviour in Jurassic Park, the Compsognathus in the Survival Mode occur as a boss wave where huge numbers of them rush the players from all directions. Fortunately, the numbers are offset by their weakness; a player can just jump on them to One-Hit Kill a Compsognathus. The most effective strategy for the dinosaur team is to group up together into one semi-cohesive unit and basically stampede the humans all at once. The dinosaur types present in the stampede are largely irrelevant (although at least one Tyrant present helps), because the sheer chaos resulting is almost guaranteed to overrun the human team within seconds. The loading screen for the Novaraptor states that this is the most effective killing strategy. Three or four Novaraptor (and/or Oviraptor) attacking at once can easily decimate a group of humans simply by running in and attacking everyone randomly (each Novaraptor normally does 45 damage per hit, meaning a human will die in 4 hits or less). | |

Long-Range Fighter | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_4b248941 | comment |
Long-Range Fighter: The Scientist is the team's sniper, and all of her main weapons are specialized for picking off targets from a distance. They're bad at dealing at dinosaurs actually attacking because of their slow rate of fire and small clip size, but she can swap to a more effective secondary weapon (a pistol, a cattle prod, or a tranquilizer gun), so she's not totally helpless. The Cryolophosaurus is most useful sniping humans with its acid projectiles from cover or some high vantage point. This is because, unlike the Dilophosaurus, its attacks do not inflict poison to make up for its mediocre bite damage, and it is both slower and less damaging than the Predator class dinosaurs specialized for close-range combat. | |

Artistic License – Paleontology | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_4c4bebf4 | comment |
Artistic License – Paleontology: This isn't meant to be scientifically accurate, of course, but the game partially subverts the trope... On the one wing, the Pteranodon are naked, have pointed wingtips (although they're more rounded in the final model), grasping feet, are a bit misproportioned (more so in their prototype model), have wings that fold incorrectly (similar to the pterosaurs from the Walking with Dinosaurs series), and may be slightly too small, but on the other wing, they are quadrupedal and toothless, and vault from the ground using their wings like real pterosaurs. This is addressed by the developers in forum posts, which state that the Pteranodons had their pycnofibres removed for "cosmetic reasons", although the "Alpha Pteranodon" skin has pycnofibres. Like the feathers on the raptors, there is also the issue that the early builds had trouble with complex textures so it took awhile to get anything but smooth skin finished. The Pteranodon can also pick up humans, which the real animal definitely couldn't do. The developers have invented a fictional species called Novaraptor ("New thief"), created in-universe through genetic engineering. They were still featherless and had anatomically impossible hands, but the developers fixed the hands after the community spoke out, and Pre-Order Bonus skin is accurately feathered◊. Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Dilophosaurus got their hands fixed as well, and this is passed on to the other theropods. Additionally, later skins on both the Novaraptor and Oviraptor very frequently have full feathers. Oviraptor is an alternate "predator" dinosaur with the same abilities as the Novaraptor. It's perfectly anatomically correct (aside from being fairly oversized), but the real Oviraptor probably wasn't quite so fast of a runner, and certainly not as deadly. Tyrannosaurus rex: For the most part it's okay, what with the horizontal body posture and all that, but a few minor details leave, er, something to be desired. It's notably about twice the size of a real T. rex, has a Jurassic Park-esque boxy head and has armored, crocodile-like scales, rather than the tiny, pebbly scales of the real animal (this is Hand Waved as being genetic modification). The Dilophosaurus is a Jurassic Park-esque venom spitter, though without the neck frill. Word of God says it's because they were genetically engineered to be venomous. Unlike most Dilophosaurus in media, this one is nearly to scale to the real animal, and not the one from Jurassic Park. Cryolophosaurus has the same Hand Waved venom spit, but is also fairly slimmer than the real animal, with a narrower head. Both the Cryolophosaurus and Dilophosaurus are depicted with raptor-like feathers in some of their skins, but they were both probably too primitive to have anything more than emu-like filaments. Averted with the Carnotaurus, which has the correct forelimbs (that is to say, no fingers and practically no arm movement at all.) and is depicted as a very fast hunter with a hard time turning, as according to recent studies. Spinosaurus for the most part looks pretty decent, but it spends mostly on land in the game, though a bone isotope analysis of Spinosauridae members indicates this was only partially the case. However, in an earlier teaser it was depicted as an adept swimmer. Recent studies have suggested that the limb proportions of Spinosaurus was much more unusual than previously thought, but the game's model was finished years prior to this discovery. However, the developers confirmed they might alter the current model and make a new skin showing the new anatomical features. | |

His flares, originally meant for lighting the way through the dark undergrowth, is also highly effective at blinding dinosaurs. | |

Prehistoric Monster: The game lets you play as one of several different savage, man-eating dinosaurs (and pterosaurs), each capable of ripping any mercenary limb-from-limb. Although there's numerous indications that they've been genetically augmented far beyond what is normal, such as the Tyrannosaurus being larger, and the Dilophosaurus being able to spit venom. | |

The Trapper dual wields two Colt pistols or two mini Uzis as his primary weapon.

He can also place down explosive mines, electric mines, and bear traps. | |

Gathering Steam: The Scientist's poison-dart sniper rifle works like this. It initially only does mediocre damage, but each shot delivered shortly after the other does slightly more damage until the dose is lethal. Actually getting there is much easier said than done: you need to get eight shots (the equivalent of an entire clip) into one target within a few seconds of the previous shot for it to inject a 100% fatal dose. A more conventional example are the Bruiser class dinosaurs, which can attack by ramming the humans. However, the attack only works after they've built up some speed and only does maximum damage after reaching top speed. | |

Powerful, but Inaccurate | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_5bec943d | comment |
Powerful, but Inaccurate: The Commando's assault rifle does tremendous damage per second (up to 40 damage per bullet, with a clip of 50 bullets), but it has huge recoil, making it mostly a "spray and pray" weapon. He's very effective against large dinosaurs (where the huge target more or less cancels out the lack of accuracy), but is pretty bad at killing small, fast-moving dinosaurs and pterosaurs. His grenade launcher also qualifies; it can dish out a catastrophic 500 damage and hit multiple targets, but it tends to bounce and takes a few seconds to go off. | |

Mechanically Unusual Fighter | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_5fc1c4b5 | comment |
Mechanically Unusual Fighter: The Oviraptor is this compared to its Novaraptor counterpart. It's faster, weaker and trades in the Novaraptor's "feeding frenzy" roar ability for the ability to track enemies via pheromones (and highlighting more injured foes). It's intended to be played as an assassin-type character, sneaking in quickly to pick off weaker opponents and then flee. The Ceratosaurus compared to the other Bruiser class dinosaurs. It's relatively slow and has low stamina, but it has powerful slashing and tail swipe attacks, unlike the Carnotaurus and Pachycephalosaurus, which rely on their ramming to kill enemies. The Ceratosaurus' "stamina leech" ability reflects this, allowing it to keep attacking relentlessly while preventing its targets from being able to run away. | |

Combat Medic: The Commando is able to drop first-aid kits on the ground which have an area-of-effect healing aura, healing a small amount per second to anyone who stands near or on it; the effect stacks if it overlaps with another health kit on the ground. He can also choose to drop ammo refills too, but as you might imagine, an overwhelming number of Commando players choose the health kit over it. The Scientist has a tranquilizer dart gun which can be used offensively against dinosaurs, but can also heal other humans a small amount of health if shot by it and provides them with a temporary durability buff. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Most of the information for the individual mercenaries states each has some character flaw which Phoenix International finds questionable, but they hire them anyway because they're all the best at what they do. The Pathfinder is stated to be a bit of a wild card because he lives out in the wilderness most of the time and is outright disdainful of the Phoenix International corporation. The Pyromanic is noted to have violent tendencies, an unhealthy obsession with fire, and is more than a bit of an alcoholic. The Trapper is noted to be an internationally wanted criminal for animal trafficking, poaching, and other uncountable offences. The Commando is noted to be a lone wolf loose cannon who went rogue during a military operation during his past as a soldier in the Middle East. The Scientist is a downplayed example. It's mentioned that she's had numerous clashes with authority in the past, but what exactly is not explained. | |

Raptor Attack | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_695efde3 | comment |
Raptor Attack: Justified via Hand Wave in-universe. The raptors present in the game are explicitly a genetically engineered and enhanced genus known as the Novaraptor which is explicitly noted to be much more aggressive than any real dromaeosaur would've been. It's noted to come in two species, a featherless version resembling the typical archetype invented by Jurassic Park, and a feathered version (this is purely cosmetic in terms of gameplay). | |

Shockwave Stomp | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_69f4d99b | comment |
Shockwave Stomp: The Acrocanthosaurus' special move allows it to perform a powerful stomp which instantly kills any human underfoot and does considerable damage and knock-back to those slightly further away. This attack also penetrates through walls and disables any nearby traps. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
The developers have invented a fictional species called Novaraptor ("New thief"), created in-universe through genetic engineering. They were still featherless and had anatomically impossible hands, but the developers fixed the hands after the community spoke out, and Pre-Order Bonus skin is accurately feathered◊. Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, and Dilophosaurus got their hands fixed as well, and this is passed on to the other theropods. Additionally, later skins on both the Novaraptor and Oviraptor very frequently have full feathers. Oviraptor is an alternate "predator" dinosaur with the same abilities as the Novaraptor. It's perfectly anatomically correct (aside from being fairly oversized), but the real Oviraptor probably wasn't quite so fast of a runner, and certainly not as deadly. | |

Ascended to Carnivorism: The dinosaurs are able to heal by eating the meat of carcasses strewn around the map... even the Pachycephalosaurus (although it's been hypothesized that it may have been somewhat omnivorous).

Cosmetic Award: Playing the game and completing challenges gradually unlocks unique skins, taunts, sprays, mutations, and clothing items for humans and dinosaurs. Although they can radically change the appearance of your characters, including some dinosaur skins and mutations which can change them into totally different species (such as Spinosaurus turning into Therizinosaurus or Deinocheirus), they have no effects on the character's attributes. | |

Godzilla Threshold: During the "Get to the Chopper" game mode, the Tyrants are restricted from class selection until the human team captures the last extraction point (meaning the dinosaur team has failed to stop them from capturing the previous three checkpoints). At that point, a sound cue of a distant roar will signal the imminent arrival of the king of the dinosaurs. | |

Blocking Stops All Damage | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_72d43279 | comment |
Blocking Stops All Damage: Tyrant class dinosaurs and the Pachycephalosaurus have a "brace" ability which allows them to take an 80% reduction in damage (however, the ability drains stamina and you can't run or attack while it's in use). How exactly tensing up your body turns bullets into scratch damage isn't explained, but that's probably for the best. | |

Herd-Hitting Attack | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_7cb1cbb5 | comment |
Herd-Hitting Attack: Several dinosaur attacks are designed to prevent the humans from grouping too closely together. The Tupandactylus' dive-bomb. It does moderate damage and leaves the player vulnerable because it requires them to soar very close to the ground, but it's an area-of-effect attack that can hit multiple targets and does huge knock-back, making it very useful for softening up or finishing off a group of humans bunched close together. The Acrocanthosaurus' stomp works very similarly, but rather than doing moderate damage, it does catastrophic damage; the stomp is an instant kill to any humans right next to it and does huge damage and knock-back to anyone else slightly further away. Timing it carefully enough can allow the player to take out several humans at once. The Dilophosaurus and Cryolophosaurus spit can lay down toxic pools that harm humans which step in it (draining stamina and health, respectively) and linger for a while. This is especially useful to prevent the humans from grouping too closely together, and for inflicting scratch damage to humans as they run around in a panic while other dinosaurs are attacking them. | |

Cooldown Manipulation | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_7fb91c0d | comment |
Cooldown Manipulation: All playable characters have stamina bars which drain when running, jumping, or, in the case of the dinosaurs, when performing secondary attacks. When emptied, characters are unable to perform these actions, but the bar will quickly refill by itself. However, some dinosaurs can speed this up via their roar abilities. The Dilophosaurus and Cryolophosaurus can both instantly refill their stamina meters with their roar (explained canonically as them releasing built-up toxic gases inside their bodies), which is vital because their spit attacks rely on stamina. The Tupandactylus can replenish some of its stamina with its screech as well as mark nearby humans (which makes them visible for several seconds to all dinosaur team mates). This helps to lead up for an attack, especially the powerful dive-bomb, which uses up a large chunk of stamina. The Ceratosaurus has relatively low stamina, but its "leech" ability allows it to "steal" stamina from its targets by simply attacking them. This makes it harder for enemy humans to escape while allowing the Ceratosaurus to attack for longer. | |

Attack Its Weak Point: In most cases, shooting the head does the most damage to the dinosaurs, but some have armoured portions of their body that are more resistant against damage, such as the Ceratosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus, which have skulls that resist incoming bullets (useful because they attack mostly by ramming headfirst), but have less defended flanks and backsides. | |

Super Spit: The Dilophosaurus has this ability, like it did in Jurassic Park, as does the very similar Cryolophosaurus, added in a later update. The Dilophosaurus' spit causes blindness and drains stamina, while the Cryolophosaurus sprays pools of acid on the ground which do contact damage. They both have the ability to shoot a short-range buckshot "spray" or lob a globule a great distance, and the spit has the ability to disable traps. | |

He takes a lot to take down and is capable of One Hit Kills, but he's a nice wide target, you can see him for miles, he's slow, and he can't fit into buildings. The Spinosaurus even more so - it's incredibly durable and does very high damage, but is dead slow. The Acrocanthosaurus, on the other hand, is a little bit faster than both of them, but it's not as deadly and takes less hits. Of the non-Tyrant dinosaurs, the Ceratosaurus qualifies as a downplayed example. It's by far the slowest non-Tyrant, but it has the most health, it's heavily armoured, and does tremendous damage in close-quarters combat with slashing and tail slamming attacks. | |

Death or Glory Attack | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_9446f847 | comment |
Death or Glory Attack: The Novaraptor's roar ability "Frenzy", greatly enhances its attack speed and strength for a few moments, but completely drains its stamina, meaning it can much more easily slaughter a group of humans clustered together, but it can no longer run away. | |

Deadly Lunge | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_94f8be2d | comment |
Deadly Lunge: The Novaraptor and Oviraptor have a pounce attack that is very similar to that of the Hunter in Left 4 Dead. The attack will kill any pinned human unless another human interrupts the attack by damaging the dinosaur, or if the dinosaur's stamina runs out in the middle of the attack. | |

Riddle for the Ages: Why did Phoenix International create an island of dinosaurs? How did they all get loose? Why do they want to exterminate the dinosaurs now? The game has no real story and Flavor Text tidbits do little to shed light on any of these questions. | |

Shotguns Are Just Better: The Pathfinder seems to believe so. It does tremendous damage to dinosaurs at close range, enough to kill all the smaller dinosaurs in one or two hits. One of the Pyromaniac's alternate weapons gives him a grenade launcher-shotgun hybrid weapon. | |

Tyrannosaurus rex: For the most part it's okay, what with the horizontal body posture and all that, but a few minor details leave, er, something to be desired. It's notably about twice the size of a real T. rex, has a Jurassic Park-esque boxy head and has armored, crocodile-like scales, rather than the tiny, pebbly scales of the real animal (this is Hand Waved as being genetic modification). | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The Pteranodon' has relatively low health and is very slow on the ground, but it has a grab attack that lets it pull humans up into the air and drop them to their deaths. This is a One-Hit Kill move if done right, but it's far easier said than done; the Pteranodon has to swoop right down to the ground, pick out an individual human with the grab, and pull them up to a fatal height (or above a cliff) without being shot even once, as being damaged will cause the player to drop their quarry prematurely. | |

Taking the Bullet | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_9ce6492a | comment |
Taking the Bullet: Tyrant class dinosaurs have the ability to "brace", crouching down to take 80% reduced damage at the cost of stamina (you can't attack while bracing, however). The developer log notes that this is useful for Tyrant players to Draw Aggro so that their smaller dinosaurs teammates can attack the humans while they're focusing on the Tyrant. | |

Friendly Fireproof: Each team can only hurt members of the other team, even in the case of things that should logically damage everyone equally, like pools of fire and acid.

Competitive Balance | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_9f4a47f2 | comment |
Competitive Balance: All the dinosaurs have various abilities, strengths and weaknesses that give them advantages and disadvantages. The Spinosaurus has the most health of the Tyrants, but it's staggeringly slow, its huge size makes it a big target, and it has no way to defend itself from behind. The Acrocanthosaurus is faster and has a powerful Area of Effect attack, but's smaller and has much less health than the other Tyrants. The Tyrannosaurus is between the two in terms of health and mobility. Of the Bruiser class dinosaurs, the Carnotaurus has moderate health and does the most damage when ramming, but its turning speed is bad and its actual attacks are weak. The Ceratosaurus is much slower, but it has armoured skin, more health, and its much better at killing humans by slashing and biting at close-quarters. The Pachycephalosaurus has by far the least amount of health, but it's the fastest and most agile, and has an armoured skull able to deflect most bullets. Compared to the Novaraptor, the Oviraptor has much less health, but even greater speed, pounce strength, and stamina. However, the Novaraptor's slashing attack is much stronger and can be enhanced further with its "Frenzy" ability, while the Oviraptor only gets a non-offensive ability (allowing it to see the outlines of humans and whether they have low health). The Cryolophosaurus has a useful Area of Effect attack allowing them to place down pools of acid, but the Dilophosaurus has a blinding spit, slightly more health, and a venomous bite that drains health. The Cryolophosaurus tends to be more useful for crowd control, while the Dilophosaurus is better at killing individual targets. The Pteranodon has the ability to potentially kill humans in a single attack by dropping them to their deaths, but its alternate peck attack is relatively weak and its ability doesn't grant it any offensive buff. The Tupandactylus cannot pick people up, but it has more health, its attacks are much stronger, it has an Area of Effect dive-bomb to hit multiple foes at once, and its ability is blatantly better than that of the Pteranodon (the Pteranodon only marks humans, while the Tupandactylus does that and gets a stamina boost). To a lesser extent, this is how the humans are set up. The Commando has a powerful, rapid-fire weapon, but its aim is poor, making it more useful against bigger dinosaurs and much less effective at hitting small ones. The Pathfinder has a shotgun and machete that does massive damage at close precision range, but terrible damage further out. The Scientist has a long-range sniper rifle that does high damage at any range (making it the natural enemy of pterosaurs), but few good defences for close-quarters combat. The Pyromaniac has weapons which are strong at close range and can take out multiple targets at once, but their range is extremely limited. The Trapper has guns that do mediocre damage, but his net-gun is capable of instantly incapacitating small dinosaurs. | |

Similar to their behaviour in Jurassic Park, the Compsognathus in the Survival Mode occur as a boss wave where huge numbers of them rush the players from all directions. Fortunately, the numbers are offset by their weakness; a player can just jump on them to One-Hit Kill a Compsognathus. | |

Interestingly, one of the Oviraptor's rare skins turns it into an emu, of all things. Several other dinosaurs also have feathered skins, and, as skins are purely cosmetic, it doesn't affect their killing abilities one bit. | |

Take That! | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Remember in Jurassic Park III how a Spinosaurus fought and killed a Tyrannosaurus rex? Not so lucky this time round... The method of fighting is also more Take That!: The Spinosaurus tried biting off the Tyrannosaurus rex's neck, like it did in the movie... The T. rex pretty much shrugs it off. Then the T. rex proceeds to use the same method the Spinosaurus used in the movie, bite in the neck... to kill the Spinosaurus. | |

Corridor Cubbyhole Run | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_b87ca9b3 | comment |
Corridor Cubbyhole Run: In the Contingency map, players can periodically activate a containment failure protocol, which warns all people inside the atrium to seek shelter as tesla coils around the rim charge up, and any individuals within the atrium must immediately seek shelter. After that, there's about a minute before they let out a massive electrical pulse that will instantly kill everyone still inside the dome's interior. | |

The Pathfinder specializes in Short Range Shotguns which are very powerful at close range, but terrible in terms of accuracy and damage further out.

Standard FPS Guns | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_bfc659ba | comment |
Standard FPS Guns: Most of the humans' arsenals consist of very typical weapon types and base their play styles around them. The Commando gets a selection of powerful rapid-fire assault rifles as his primary weapons, one of which has a built-in grenade launcher. He gets two different pistols for his secondary weapon, the standard-issue MK pistol and a slower, but more powerful Deagle. The Scientist is the resident sniper, with a selection of three different Sniper Rifles as her primary weapon. Her secondary weapon is the standard MK pistol, a tranquilizer gun, or a compound bow. She can also place down two types of mines, a sensor mine that "marks" dinosaurs and a gas mine that drains stamina. The Trapper dual wields two Colt pistols or two mini Uzis as his primary weapon. His secondary weapons are gimmicky weapons that stun or ensnare dinosaurs, a net gun and a stun gun, and a knife used in conjunction with the net gun to insta-kill small dinosaurs. He can also place down explosive mines, electric mines, and bear traps. The Pathfinder specializes in Short Range Shotguns which are very powerful at close range, but terrible in terms of accuracy and damage further out. His secondary weapon is (again) the MK pistol or a strong machete for melee attacks. He is able to throw down flares which blind dinosaurs that get too close. The Pyromaniac uses almost entirely explosive and incendiary weapons, with the option of a flamethrower-chainsaw or battle shotgun-grenade launcher combo for his primary weapon, and either a flare gun or the Mk pistol for his secondary. He's offered three different types of explosives for his item, grenades, Molotov cocktails, or sticks of dynamite. | |

Hold the Line | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_c1105f41 | comment |
Hold the Line: The "Get to the Chopper" game mode functions similar to the Control Point game mode of Team Fortress 2; humans have to gain control of a succession of checkpoints within a time limit (which has time added to it every time a checkpoint is captured), while the dinosaurs have to stop them. This is effectively the gameplay style required for the human team in the normal Deathmatch game-mode. Individual humans stand little chance of survival without the support of their teammates, and victory basically requires the cohesion and cooperation of the group. Although you won't strictly lose if the group falls apart, it becomes much more difficult to secure victory. | |

"Instant Death" Radius | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_c185022a | comment |
"Instant Death" Radius: It's generally an incredibly bad idea to be within several metres of a Tyrant, because nearly all of their attacks are One-Hit Kill with a huge range, and just walking over a human will instantly kill them. This isn't even mentioning the tendency for Tyrants to be followed by numerous smaller dinosaur players. | |

Slow Doors | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_c4b910bf | comment |
Slow Doors: On the Contingency map, humans can activate a contingency protocol that will send out an electrical shockwave that kills everything in the atrium in about one minute. To avoid this, there is a safe zone along the rim, but metal shutters will slowly close to lock everyone in. If you try and enter the door while the gate is closing and it's too low to enter, you'll gradually be crushed to death. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: All the playable dinosaurs are clearly Jurassic Park-based in some way or another. There have also been a lot of promotional images and videos showing Tyrannosaurus fighting (the now playable) Spinosaurus. A few of the human classes bear resemblances to some characters from the JP franchise as well. For example, the Trapper seems to be a mix of Robert Muldoon and Roland Tembo, while the Scientist has some similarities to Sarah Harding. The Tyrannosaurus Ashland skin heavily resembles the colour scheme of the Tyrannosaurus in Walking with Dinosaurs, and the Acrocanthosaurus "Salt Plains" skin that of the Allosaurus. There is also one Pteranodon skin named "South American Ptera", and one of the carcasses in the Waterlogged map is a dead Liopleurodon that is coloured exactly like the Walking with version. The Spinosaurus has a community-made skin known as "Primigenus". It looks almost exactly like the Spinosaurus as it appeared in Primeval, which the skin's creator has confirmed was intentional. The Novaraptor also has a skin known as "Deino" which resembles the raptors in the series (complete with long quills over the body). Hidden in several different normally inaccessible areas of a few maps is an egg surrounded by wall scrawls that say "THE EGG IS A LIE". A few of the achievements reference other media, such as "Top Gun" (kill 86 flying pterosaursnote 1986 being the year Top Gun was released), "Come Fly With Me" (win a Get to the Chopper match as the human), and "Clever Girl" (kill a dinosaur from behind as the Scientist), "Life Finds a Way (fully recover from near-death as a dinosaur), and The Magic World (say "please" in the chat). | |

Large and in Charge | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_c7f294da | comment |
Large and in Charge: The Tyrants are basically the defacto leaders of the dinosaur side, in part due to their ability to quickly decimate groups of humans with insanely strong (usually One-Hit Kill) attacks. The game encourages other dinosaur players to stay close to a Tyrant because their ability grants a temporary power up to all other dinosaurs close by, and a skilled Tyrant can make or break the dinosaur team. | |

Falling Damage | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_c9cab11 | comment |
Falling Damage: Jumping off a too-high ledge will cause some damage, depending on high the fall was. This is especially true with large dinosaurs, which take proportionately greater damage even from moderate heights. The Pteranodon can also kill humans by exploiting fall damage, as its secondary attack allows it to pick them up and drop them from a fatal height. | |

Bottomless Pits | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_cea7fc1 | comment |
Bottomless Pits: Several maps are located on top of plateaus bordered by impassible cliffs. These maps tend to give a slight advantage to Pteranodon players. Rather than needing to lift humans to a fatal height, they can just toss them off a cliff to kill them. Interestingly, if a pterosaur player flies too low beyond the cliff, they'll rapidly take damage until they die or ascend back to the playable area. | |

Toxic Dinosaur | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_cf0e2e03 | comment |
Toxic Dinosaur: The "Spitter" class consists of medium-sized dinosaurs with decent attack, speed, and durability stats, and is the only class with a ranged attack, which is a corrosive spit. Dilophosaurus and Cryolophosaurus fill this class, with Dilophosaurus also possessing a venomous bite. In-lore, the dinosaurs were given venomous properties due to genetic mutations. The base game has Cryolophosaurus spitting poison, although this is changed in Primal Carnage: Extinction, where they instead spit acid. They still retain the "venomous bite" attack. | |

Animals Not to Scale | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_d0c9634e | comment |
Animals Not to Scale: The Tyrannosaurus is portrayed as being about a third larger in dimensions than the real animal. One of the loading screens has a journal entry with one of the mercenaries expressing incredulity at intentionally making the king of the dinosaurs even more monstrous. The Spinosaurus is also a bit larger than the real animal, at just over eighteen metres rather than around fifteen metres. Both Spitter class dinosaurs, the Dilophosaurus and Cryolophosaurus are much smaller than they should be. The Dilophosaurus is about half the size (so not quite as extreme as Jurassic Park), while Cryolophosaurus is only about a third as big. The Pteranodon's wingspan is only about two-thirds the width of the real animal (specifically the male), but both it and the Tupandactylus are portrayed with much broader wing membranes than probably would have existed in real life. The Oviraptor is shown as being roughly human-sized, but the real animal was only about the size of a medium dog, too small to have been a real threat to an adult person. However, the closely related Citipati, whose remains were initially identified as those of Oviraptor, actually was human-sized and many media depictions of Oviraptor are actually based on it. One of the eatable carcasses in the Waterlogged map is an elasmosaur chained to a platform. However, it's absurdly large, far larger than even the Spinosaurus, making it likely three or four times bigger than the largest known plesiosaurs in real life. | |

Secondary Fire: Both the Pyromaniac's primary weapons have two offensive options in one. His flamesaw has a flamethrower as a medium-range burning weapon and a chainsaw underneath for dealing with small dinosaurs up close, while the flame lobber functions as both an incendiary grenade launcher and a rapid-fire shotgun. The Commando's main weapon is a semi-automatic assault rifle with a rocket-propelled grenade launcher underneath it. Both are very powerful but rather inaccurate and have no way to aim them. | |

Terrifying Tyrannosaur | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_d2528a4a | comment |
Terrifying Tyrannosaur: Far and away the most powerful playable dinosaur in the initial game was the Tyrannosaurus, which has both a One-Hit Kill bite and can kill humans simply by walking over them, has over 3000 health points (most other dinosaurs only have a few hundred HP), and a roar so mighty that it actually inspires nearby dinosaurs to fight harder (making their attacks stronger for several seconds). Later updates added the Spinosaurus and Acrocanthosaurus as alternatives, but gave the archetype the class name "Tyrant". | |

Knockback: Several of the dinosaurs have attacks that can send humans flying, such as the Carnotaurus charge, the Acrocanthosaurus stomp, and the Tupandactylus dive bomb. This is particularly useful for disorienting groups of humans, or knocking them off cliffs, and it causes an amusing flying rag-doll corpse. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: When a player has very low HP, the game will highlight all health stations on the map as glowing red outlines which are visible through walls (the health kits for humans, the carcasses for dinosaurs). The same occurs if the player is low on ammunition; the game will highlight all the item pickups on the map in glowing gold outlines. Because the game only allows one, or at the most, two (if it's a particularly big match) Tyrant players on the battlefield at the same time, the player class selection menu does not allow someone who was a Tyrant play them twice in a row so other players can have a turn. Commando players can see when other players are at low health via red outlines, allowing them to prioritize placing down health regeneration stations (because they disappear after several moments). | |

Natural Weapon: While the humans fight with a wide assortment of guns, explosives, traps, and other armaments, dinosaurs rely on their claws, teeth, horns, tails, spit, and beaks to fight, and it is more than an even matchup. | |

Area of Effect | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_d89e305a | comment |
The Pteranodon has the ability to potentially kill humans in a single attack by dropping them to their deaths, but its alternate peck attack is relatively weak and its ability doesn't grant it any offensive buff. The Tupandactylus cannot pick people up, but it has more health, its attacks are much stronger, it has an Area of Effect dive-bomb to hit multiple foes at once, and its ability is blatantly better than that of the Pteranodon (the Pteranodon only marks humans, while the Tupandactylus does that and gets a stamina boost). | |

Foe-Tossing Charge | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_da2b1604 | comment |
Foe-Tossing Charge: The Bruiser class dinosaurs (Carnotaurus, Ceratosaurus, and Pachycephalosaurus) all have this as their signature attack; rather than needing to press an attack button, they can passively bowl over humans by running into them, which deals high damage and sends them flying. | |

Acid Attack | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_da3a90a | comment |
Acid Attack: The Cryolophosaurus has very similar attacks to the Spitter of Left 4 Dead 2. It can lob acid projectiles from great distances; these blind and do damage if they hit a human, but they also create pools of acid which do damage over time if humans stand in it. If a human is killed by getting spat on or stepping in acid, they get reduced to a glowing green skeleton. | |

Cryolophosaurus has the same Hand Waved venom spit, but is also fairly slimmer than the real animal, with a narrower head. Both the Cryolophosaurus and Dilophosaurus are depicted with raptor-like feathers in some of their skins, but they were both probably too primitive to have anything more than emu-like filaments. | |

Character Class System | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_e4878443 | comment |
Character Class System: Both humans and dinosaur characters are based around this style of gameplay, although it differs slightly. There are only five human characters, but all of them have weapons and items that are interchangeable before spawning. There are twelve different selectable dinosaur classes, but their abilities cannot be changed; however, there are five "subclasses" which the twelve species are separated into. "Tyrant" class dinosaurs are Mighty Glaciers with massive health pools, the ability to One-Hit Kill humans by stomping on them or eating them, and a roar that is able to empower their fellow dinosaurs for short periods. There can only be a maximum of two of them at once. "Bruiser" class dinosaurs are moderately durable, have armoured regions of their bodies, and share the ability to passively bulldoze humans by running into them at high speeds. "Predator" class dinosaurs are fast, agile, and vicious, with snapping and biting attacks that can be performed while running. They have to ability to perform a "pounce" attack that pins a human to the ground while they're mauled to death. "Spitter" class dinosaurs are fast, agile, and physically weak, but have the ability to lob toxic projectiles from great distances, and can quickly replenish their stamina bar with their roar. "Flyer" class dinosaurs (or technically, pterosaurs) have the ability to fly unlimitedly, possess a peck attack that can be performed in midair, and can mark humans on the map (making them visible to all other dinosaurs). | |

Escaped from the Lab | |
| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_e4d8fcc4 | comment |
Escaped from the Lab: From what little lore is available, the dinosaurs seem to have been grown (or at least stored) in chambers filled with fluid-filled vats rather than being hatched from eggs. At some point, the dinosaurs eventually escaped from their containment, turned against their creators, and went feral in the tropical environment. | |

| Primal Carnage (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Many of the dinosaurs (and pterosaurs) are very similar to the Special Infected from Left 4 Dead. The Novaraptor is agile and can pin foes down like the Hunter, the Dilophosaurus has a spit that screws up vision like the Boomer, while the Cryolophosaurus sprays acid like the Spitter, the Carnotaurus rams foes like the Charger, the Pteranodon can grab players and force them to move against their will/drop them into something nasty like the Jockey, and the Tyrannosaurus is big, strong and deadly like the Tank. The Human team has many similarities to the Mercs from Team Fortress 2, but condensed (since there are less of them). The Pyromanic is a mix of the Pyro and the Demoman (due to his use of both incendiaries and explosives, and being a Violent Glaswegian), the Scientist is the Sniper and Medic (main weapon is sniper rifle, also has items to encumber foes, and can heal allies), the Commando is the Heavy with some bit of Soldier (high damage dealer with rapid-fire weapon, but able to shoot off a long-range explosive), the Trapper is the Scout mixed with the Spy (fast with small low-damage firearms, but can one-shot kill enemies with a knife), and the Pathfinder is similar to the Soldier (damage dealer that uses a shotgun). | |

Death Flight | |

Death Flight: Because they're extremely slow and cumbersome on the ground, the Pteranodon's primary method of attack is to quickly swoop down, grab a human, and either fly up and drop them from a lethal height, or toss them off a cliff. However, the Pteranodon will automatically drop the human if another player shoots and hits them. | |

Sprint Meter: Both the dinosaurs and mercenaries have a stamina bar that is gradually depleted when they move quickly, but refills quickly when back to walking; some of the dinosaurs' attacks also use up stamina, such as the Cryolophosaurus/Dilophosaurus spit attack and the Oviraptor/Novaraptor pounce. However, the Cryolophosaurus and Dilophosaurus have the ability to quickly refill their stamina by roaring, and the Ceratosaurus has the ability to steal stamina from humans it's attacking. | |

For Pteranodon this is numerous other pterosaur species, such as Rhamphorhynchus, Quetzalcoatlus, and Pterodaustro, while Spinosaurus has mutations that make its face resemble various crocodilian species. A few skins also radically alter their appearance in the same way, but for their whole body. | |

Non-Malicious Monster: Zigzagged with the dinosaurs. Their primary motive canonically is defending their home against the human aggressors, whom have explicitly arrived to exterminate them. The presence of nests in several maps further implies parental aggression, which is explicit in the Capture the Egg game-mode. However, it's indicated they are unnaturally aggressive and, as seen in the Get to the Chopper mode, willing to attack humans which are trying to escape. | |

Shown Their Work: Despite the large amounts of Artistic License and Rule of Cool, the game does have a few subtle hints that the creators did their research: Pteranodon walks on all fours, is toothless, launches quadrupedally from the ground, and is explicitly stated on the official site NOT to be a dinosaur, and one of the skins is correctly depicted with pycnofibres. Also, Tupandactylus is correctly proportioned. Dilophosaurus is correctly sized and lacks a neck frill. The theropods have non-pronated hands. One of the available skins for the raptors is fully and accurately feathered, while the Oviraptor is completely feathered and has no unfeathered variant. Carnotaurus has stubby forelimbs with no visible claws and is correctly portrayed as a Lightning Bruiser with a difficult time turning at top speed. Brachiosaurus has its nostrils on its snout rather than on the top of its head, and it has the proper foot configuration of a real sauropod (single claw on the front foot, three on the back). Triceratops has armored skin and belly scales similar to a crocodile's, and two of its front toes lack claws and are kept off the ground◊. The mosasaurs in the Waterlogged map have tail flukes. | |
