The Dinosaurs

How does one run the dinosaurs? How do they act? How do you make a new one? This may give you some Ideas.

How would they act?

Almost every dinosaur is an animal. Thereby, almost every dinosaur acts like an animal. Their motivation is usually either food, protecting their young, or survival. If a tyrannosaurus attacks the party, they can easily be convinced to give up, if temporarily. While if a stegosaurus attacks the party, your party messed up. They either messed with them, or their babies. And it's not going to be so easy to get the stegosaurus to back off. Of course, a dinosaur will always try to survive, even if their kin won't. On low health, they might do anything to get away. an if they're starving, they might do anything for food. Even attack the party at their weakest.

Hybrids

Now of course, almost every dinosaur is an animal. If you've seen anything related to Jurassic World, you would know that some are man made. Hybrids, are genetic abominations designed to sell tickets, and in some cases, to kill. There are three canon hybrids, The Scorpius Rex, The Indoraptor, and the Indominus Rex. There are also several hybrids from Jurassic World Evolution, such as the ankylodocus, the stegoceratops, and the spinoraptor. Now, for the JWE hybrids, the previous still applies. Although, the canon hybrids are not animals. They are monsters, and should act like monsters. Both the Indominus and the Scorpius have been seen killing for sport. The Indoraptor is specifically designed as a military weapon, but otherwise acts like the others.

Making Hybrids

So you wanna make a hybrid? Well there might be a couple tips in this here paragraph, if you would care to read it. 1. Combination You can easily create a hybrid by combining to dinosaurs, for example "Tyrannoceratops", or "Ankylodon". This also applies to a combination of several dinosaurs. 2. Ooo cool ability another option is to go the canon route and make a monster. You can think up an ability, and find a creature/dinosaur with that ability. For example, the Indominus rex can camouflage, because it has cuttlefish DNA, And the Scorpius rex is venomous because it has scorpionfish DNA.
