Creature Overview
Deinonychus is small and fragile, but it can cross terrain quickly, double-jump, and pounce targets. Its best results usually come from coordinated packs that stack pressure without staying in direct danger.
The real Deinonychus was an Early Cretaceous dromaeosaurid from North America.
