At Indoraptor27’s request, I’m reposting my idea here. What makes Dilophosaurus iconic in the franchise was its given ability to spit venom, which to quote Richard Kiley causes “blindness and eventually paralysis, allowing the carnivore to eat at its leisure.” Instead, it just uses its teeth and claws like everyone else. With Troodon being poisonous, it just seems unfair. Rather than killing an ornithomimosaur or ornithopod outright, I suggest animation of Dilo tarring them before retreating with the prey now poisoned and slowly dying if not cured by Rangers. That includes Iguanodon because it’s helpless against Troo. When Dilophosaurus fights another small carnivore or a pachycephalosaur, the opponent is poisoned as well. Venom goes through the eyes to wreak havoc on the body. I think Atharttsx said the poisoned dino is blind and can’t drink and maybe not eat and will eventually fall like it was hit by a tranquilizer with Dilo then coming in for the kill.
