*Parasuchus* is a genus of phytosaur from the **Late Triassic** period, with fossils discovered in what is now **India**.  
Despite their striking resemblance to modern crocodilians, phytosaurs belong to an entirely separate lineage of archosauriformes and are not closely related to crocodiles.  
Parasuchus possessed a long, narrow snout lined with sharp teeth, well suited for catching fish and small prey near rivers and floodplains.

---

## Appearance
- Long, low-slung body with a broad, flat snout lined with sharp, interlocking teeth
- Prominent dorsal scutes and ridges running the length of the back and tail
- Displays sexual dimorphism in coloration:
- **Males** are near-black with a very subtle warm brownish hue on the flanks and a dark grey underside
- **Females** are similarly near-black with a slightly cooler charcoal tone and dark grey underside, nearly indistinguishable from males
- The **Arid** cosmetic variant has a warm medium brown body with darker brown dorsal scutes and ridges, and a pale beige-grey underside
- In-game size: **4 blocks long** and **1 block tall**

---

## Behavior
- **Hostile**: Attacks players and small creatures on sight
- Lurks near water sources, ambushing prey that approaches to drink
- Low profile and slow movement on land; considerably more dangerous near rivers and wetlands

---

## Obtaining
Parasuchus does not spawn naturally. To obtain one, you must:
1. Find ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/misc_other/parasuchus/parasuchus_fossil_remains) [**Parasuchus Remains**]($content/items/fossil) or fossils
2. Use the fossil revival process to create a Parasuchus
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
- An ambush predator that likely targeted fish and small animals near waterways

---

## Drops

- Parasuchus lived in the Late Triassic of what is now India, belonging to an order of archosauriformes called Phytosauria, which despite looking like crocodiles, were a completely separate lineage!
- Parasuchus was initially deemed a chimera, meaning it would've been actually multiple animals that were mistaken as only one, until new fossils of it were described in the late 1970s!
- Parasuchus' name means "Near Crocodile", in reference to it looking like a crocodile despite belonging to a separate lineage of animals!
