I’ve put together some Dino pack ideas based on speculation, and I’m interested in seeing which versions of the same pack could be more popular. I have not included a Triassic pack since there is only one real logical combination. Simply look through and reply to the number you’d take if you had the choice. If you have another combination you’d prefer for a certain pack feel free to comment about it! And finally, If there was one theme pack out of these that has the most priority to you, which would it be?
Jurassic Dinosaur Pack
I imagine we will get this at some point considering we got the herbivore pack in sequence to the carnivore pack. I don’t think they would’ve done a Cretaceous pack if they didn’t plan on at least one other era as well. I think a Stegosaurid is a guarantee, since we’ve had none added since launch and they are definitive to the Jurassic period.
Combination #1
Miragaia: A tall stegosaur with a long neck, it could possibly feed from tall feeders
Cryolophosaurus: The most requested Jurassic carnivore, it only makes sense.
Massospondylus: A medium sized prosauropod, it could be entirely unique.
Combination #2
Tuojiangosaurus: It could be our largest stegosaur from China, and the first with spike plates lacking the shoulder spike.
Megalosaurus: It’s only fair to have the first discovered Dinosaur in the game right?
Elaphrosaurus: JP canon and found in the innovation center, it is a very odd carnivore with strange proportions.
Combination #3
Scelidosaurus: While not specifically a stegosaur, it’s technically the grandfather of the group and would be an amazing edition.
Monolophosaurus: A fairly interesting Chinese medium carnivore with an odd crest.
Ostafrikasaurus: The oldest known spinosaur, Frontier can really flex their creativity since it’s only known by teeth like troodon.
Dangerous Dinosaurs Pack
This seems like a good way to get some hotly requested dinos in the game, and to liven up our combat antics. I know when I see a pack titled Dangerous dinosaurs that one animal is perfect for it 100%: Therizinosaurus.
Combination #1
Therizinosaurus: No explaination needed
Shunosaurus: A small sauropod that fights back with a tail club? Something certainly needed
Megaraptor: A large carnivore ripe for new combat animations with its wicked hand claws.
Combination #2
Amargasaurus: Instantly recognizable, with its spikes and whip tail it’d certainly fight back.
Shantungosaurus: A hadrosaur as big as any adult Tyrannosaurus, it could be able to crush would-be attackers.
Aucasaurus: It could be a bully of the small carnivores being slightly larger than Herrera
Combination #3
Deinocheirus: It could eat from tall feeders, fish feeders, and fight back!
Plateosaurus: Another that is bipedal and eats from tall feeders as well as fight back. Given it’s quite primitive and did not know competition it could maybe even fight other large herbivores for “dominance” over a territory.
Torvosaurus: The “tiger” to Allosaurus’s “lion,” it’d be nice to have a giant megalosaur.
Hammond Dinosaur Pack
In line with a ‘93 full expansion, this would be a pretty cool nod to franchise veterans. I don’t think I’d be hopeful this will ever happen, but it would be really nice especially towards the end of the game’s life. The idea is dinos either from the novels or inspired by hammond’s original vision for his park.
Combination #1
Hadrosaurus: The quintessential hadrosaur, it is from the original novel
Procompsognathus: Small and venomous in the novel, it could be cute but deadly.
Pachyrhinosaurus: A highly requested ceratopsian, it could stand apart from its family members
Combination #2
Camptosaurus: A midway between dryosaurus and Iguanodon, it would add some interesting diversity.
Protoceratops: A sheep sized ceratopsian that could be pretty lovable and fight small carnivores
Alioramus: A slender, agile tyrannosaur that fits in the small carnivore bracket.
Combination #3
Argentinosaurus: A super massive titanosaur that would make Alan Grant speechless again. Hopefully this one would have it’s neck at the proper angle.
Mussaurus: A tiny novel canon prosauropod.
Oviraptor: A dinosaur that could be quite intriguing, being a possible omnivore eating from both feeders and fighting small carnivores. It’d probably need a slight upscale.
So which would you pick if you had the choice? Which pack themes would you pass on in favor of others?
Apologies if this was TL;DR, I just get intrigued with what is wanted next by everyone when Frontier crosses a highly requested Dino off the list.
