Mussaurus patagonicus

Mussaurus is a genus of herbivorous sauropodomorph dinosaur that lived in southern Argentina during the Early Jurassic, specifically the Sinemurian stage. Despite its name meaning "mouse lizard," adults were medium-sized dinosaurs, while juveniles were famously tiny.

• Small to medium-sized sauropodomorph with a long neck and sturdy limbs
• Juveniles are notably tiny compared to adults, reflecting the species' famous growth difference
• Adults have a more robust build with a deep chest and strong hind legs
• Skin patterns vary depending on cosmetic genes
• In-game size: 8 blocks long and 3 blocks tall

Behavior

• Neutral: Will not attack unless provoked
• Flees from large predators or sudden threats
• Often found in small family groups or herds
• Juveniles may follow adults for protection
• Occasionally rears up to reach higher vegetation

Mr. DNA's Fun Trivia

• The name Mussaurus means "mouse lizard," which was based on the tiny size of the first fossils discovered which turned out to be juveniles, not adults.
• The achievement "Little Little Mussaurus" plays on the dinosaur's misleading name and the contrast between its tiny juveniles and medium-sized adults.
