*Metriacanthosaurus* (meaning **"moderately-spined lizard"**) is a genus of metriacanthosaurid dinosaur from the Oxford Clay Formation of England, dating to the **Late Jurassic**, around 160 million years ago.  
It was a medium-large predator with distinctive neural spines along its back.

---

## Appearance
- Medium-sized theropod with a muscular build
- Distinctive moderately tall neural spines forming a subtle ridge along its back
- Long jaws lined with sharp, serrated teeth
- In-game size: **10 blocks long** and **3 blocks tall**

---

## Behavior
- **Hostile**: Will actively attack players and most other creatures on sight
- Roams its territory aggressively, chasing prey over long distances
- Uses powerful bites and lunges to overwhelm targets

---

## Obtaining
Metriacanthosaurus does not spawn naturally. To obtain one, you must:
1. Find ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v2/extinct/metriacanthosaurus/metriacanthosaurus_fossil_remains) [**Metriacanthosaurus Remains**]($content/items/fossil) or fossils
2. Use the fossil revival process to create a Metriacanthosaurus
3. Hatch from an **Alligator Egg** type egg

---

## Diet
- **Carnivore**: feeds on <img src="https://i.imgur.com/4K6xsJA.gif" width={32} height={32} style={{imageRendering: "pixelated"}}/> meat sources
- Hunts medium to large animals and will scavenge when necessary

---

## Drops
When defeated, Metriacanthosaurus may drop:
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v2/extinct/metriacanthosaurus/metriacanthosaurus_fossil_remains) [**Metriacanthosaurus Remains**]($content/items/fossil)
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v2/extinct/metriacanthosaurus/metriacanthosaurus_raw) [**Metriacanthosaurus Raw Meat**]($content/items/meats)

- The achievement "Fragmented Puzzle" references the incomplete nature of the Metriacanthosaurus fossil record, which consists of fragmentary remains.
- Metriacanthosaurus appeared on an embryo storage label in the original *Jurassic Park* (1993) film, though the dinosaur itself was never seen.
