Description
Austrolavenator is a medium size theropod belonging to the Megaraptorid group. This makes it somewhat like Allosaurus, but it is smaller and much more cunning. Australovenator stalks the outbacks of the Arkamata region, where it reigns as the apex predator, hunting anything from small reptiles to the megafauna like Megalania, Diprotodon, and Procoptodon. Australovenator is also renown for the poisonous saliva it possesses. This toxin is very slow acting, draining the target of stamina and causing them to sweat intensely, dehydrating the victim at elevated rates. If the victim doesn't find water within 3 hours, they die, and they dryness of the body preserves it and the venom gives off an incredibly foul stench, allowing the predator to track down its prey over great distances, even up to 15 miles away in ideal conditions.
