Deinonychus are extinct bipedal creatures from the Cretaceous era. They are found in savage broadleaf forests and temperate shrublands, appearing in packs of 3-5. They are large predators and can easily wipe out unarmed citizens they come across. While extinct in real life, their appearance is dependent on the settings chosen when creating a world. A young deinonychus is called a hatchling.

Deinonychus can be captured in cage traps and trained into exotic pets. They can be further trained into war or hunting beasts; their bulk, quick maturity rate, and staggering clutch size make them an excellent option for quickly building an army or bodyguarding force. They are also a good choice for egg production in general. A large egg size and high yield of 10-30 eggs per clutch put them on equal footing with alligators in terms of volume, though they lack a value multiplier. Deinonychus become adults after 1 year and reach their full size after 2.

Some dwarves like deinonychus for their scything claws and feathers.

D4Dwarf.png This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Deinonychus seem to have high tendency to kick undead creatures to displace them forward for reasons yet to be uncovered.
