Description:

Coelophysis, or "hollow form," was one of the earliest dinosaurs, having first appeared in what is now the southwestern United States around 220 million years ago. With its lightweight, hollow bones Coelophysis is a predator built for agility and speed. Hunting in packs, Coelophysis will make a meal of any small creature unfortunate enough to get in their path--including immature members of their own species.

Coelophysis is bipedal and stands just a bit taller than a grown man. At about nine feet long from snout to tail, even the heaviest Coelophysis weighs in a few pounds shy of a hundred. Coelophysis has a long jaw filled with short sharp teeth capable of cutting through flesh. Coelophysis prefers to quickly swallow prey whole whenever possible, however, lest its hungry packmates steal a bite for themselves.

Never staying still for long, Coelophysis is positively hyperactive compared to some of the big, lumbering, herbivorous dinosaurs. It is constantly on the lookout for the next meal, head swiveling around atop its thin neck. The three sharp claws at the end of Coelophysis' short forelimbs and longer hind limbs can seem to almost twitch with nervous energy at times. Coelophysis is always ready to pounce should it spot something it can eat, even if that something is a young relative.
