Information
The Golden Thoranious is a carnivorous predator that looks and hunts like the dromeosaurs (raptors) from Earth's distant past. They hunt in packs of three or four to bring down large prey, particularly Spikeface calves. They have serrated teeth that work like steak knives to tear off chunks of flesh from their helpless victims. They uses their sharp claws to kill their prey quickly and efficiently.

Frills
The Thoranious has large frills on its arms and tail. These frills are used to absorb sunlight through a sort of photosynthesis and create energy for the host to use. This adaptation is very useful during the hot summer, during which food is hard to find.
