Achillobator (SciiFii)

Achillobator copia (name meaning "Zoo's Achilles hero"), also known Zoe Martin's goblin, is a species of large dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that originally lived roughly 93 to 80 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Mongolia, in Asia, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii. It was originally intended to be included in the Cretaceous Park, but the Association of Zoos and Aquariums commissioned SciiFii to buy and keep Utahraptors in many accredited zoos due to their large size and familiarity to many non-avian dinosaur enthusiasts, becoming one of the most common zoo non-avian dinosaur species. It is among the largest dromaeosaurs, growing to be around 5 to 6 meters (16.4 to 19.7 feet) long. Achillobator copia is a moderately-built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore. It is an active predator, hunting with the enlarged, sickle-shaped claw on the second toe, pinning its prey down similarly to birds of prey, and using its sharp teeth to eat its prey alive. It is a solitary predator and scavenger, in a manner like a cross between a tiger and a vulture. Despite the species' large size and carnivorous nature, the Achillobators are completely peaceful, gentle, and tame towards people due to genetic engineering by SciiFii, making them popular zoo animals.
