Dinosaurs

Introduction

From the apex predator Tyrannosaurus rex roaming the badlands to the pack-hunting Velociraptors stalking the jungle undergrowth, Dino Hunters features a diverse roster of prehistoric reptiles across every biome. Each dinosaur species has distinct aggression levels, health pools, attack patterns, and trophy values that determine how you should approach the hunt. The dinosaur bestiary documents every confirmed species with biome locations, recommended weapons, weak points, and behavioral patterns. Whether you're planning a single-player stalk on a lone Allosaurus or coordinating a three-player fireteam to bring down a Spinosaurus on the river floodplains, this is your reference guide. We cover predator behavior, herbivore charge arcs, pack tactics, and rare albino variants that reward skilled hunters with legendary trophy payouts.

Core Mechanics

Dinosaur AI in Dino Hunters uses a perception system based on vision cones, sound detection, and scent tracking. Each species has a different aggro radius, aggression level, and behavior pattern. Apex predators like T-Rex and Spinosaurus patrol wide territories and respond aggressively to movement within their detection radius. Pack hunters like Velociraptors coordinate flanking attacks and call for reinforcements when one member is injured. Herbivores like Triceratops and Ankylosaurus charge when threatened but can be avoided with careful positioning. Stealth crouch-walking in tall grass breaks line-of-sight and resets aggro, while bait items can distract dinosaurs from squad positions. Understanding these behavioral patterns is the foundation of every successful hunt.

Advantages

The dinosaur bestiary gives you a strategic advantage by documenting each species' aggro radius, behavior pattern, weak points, and recommended weapon loadout before you commit to a contract. Knowing that Velociraptors coordinate flanking attacks lets you position your squad to cut off their escape routes. Knowing that T-Rex responds to spine shots with instant downs lets you plan your opening volley. Knowing that Dilophosaurus ambushes from the undergrowth lets you approach the jungle biome with extra caution. The bestiary is your pre-hunt briefing, ensuring you're never surprised by an unfamiliar dinosaur species in the field.

Challenges

The dinosaur roster at Early Access launch is confirmed to include 12 species, but RaptorClaws has hinted at additional species coming in later phases. We do not speculate about unannounced dinosaurs — only confirmed species are documented in the bestiary. Some behavioral patterns (especially AI routines for rare albino variants) are still being tuned and may change between patches. Aggression levels reflect current spawn conditions and can shift with biome weather or time-of-day factors. Pack hunter tactics are still being refined, and Velociraptor AI in particular has undergone multiple retunes across recent builds. We update the bestiary with each patch but lag behind by one minor version.
