Mr. DNA's Fun Trivia
- Compsognathus was once thought to have been the smallest dinosaur ever! However as more dinosaurs were discovered eventually smaller dinosaurs were found!
- Compsognathus preyed on small animals such as bugs, lizards and other small vertebrates!
- Compsognathus may not be too threatning alone, but a whole swarm of them would be deadly to any unfortunate goats....or (hopefully not) humans!
- The achievement "Dieter's Demise" references the character Dieter Stark from The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), who was killed by a swarm of Compsognathus
