Dinosaurs The Dilophosaurus crown gene

Your Feature Request / Idea
Ever since the inclusion of the indominus rex's camouflage gene, I was thinking of the possibilities of new unique dinosaur gene slots that could be added optionally. There was a canceled project called "Jurassic World Regenesis" and they had a supermassive dilophosaurus that is about the size and length of the majungasaurus in game.

It could be introduced via dlc in a cool story, like finding in the archives of a discarded park, there lies in storage a lab tube called the "Crown Protein" is found. Dr Dua is intrigued as she believed this to be one of Dr.Wu's old experiments that he discarded, opportunity arrises and she tasks the player of building exhibits that contains 3 dilophosaurus, and would task the player to take samples of the dilo with the ranger team. And to place in a ceratosaurus with specific gene modifications in the same exhibit and take some of his samples too.

After time she asks the player to breed one more dilophosaurus but with gene modifications and this new gene she created. The player does so and a menacingly large dilophosaurus walks out of the hatchery. She then asks the player to take notice of the new dilophosaurus.

Gameplay wise, the new dilo would be labeled as a large carnivore, but would be able to kill small carnivores, except for the dilophosaurus. In fact, they socialize together with the small dilophosaurus and would be designated as alpha upon meeting with the smaller dinosaurs. Here the player notices how big the new dilo is, and how powerful as it kills the ceratosaurus that was harassing them.

I think this would be awesome to have in game. It will shine some light to the dilophosaurus as the dinosaur needs some extra love in game. And there is also the possibility of making this one venomous like the dilophosaurus in the books, where it translate to a unique poison mechanic that affects the large carnivores and armored herbivores. However, only one could be crowned, any other dilophosaurus with the crown gene will fight to the death.

Please do let me know what you think!
 
The real Dilophosaurus is pretty close in size to the Ceratosaurus. The ones in JP was just juveniles... I'm all for getting the Dilo in its real size.
 
Yup! The movie and book depictions of the dilophosaurus are night and day. Hopefully this should be something to appease both parties. Where you could have a movie dilophosaurus or book dilophosaurus.
Plus an interesting social dynamic where it is not determined by strength alone but by genetic coding. a.k.a. "royal bloodline".

Wasn't it a fan-made thing?

About movie and novel/real Dilophosaurus differences:
Its depiction in later movies (as an hologram in Jurassic World and taxidermed in Fallen Kingdom) seems to indicate that, in the movies lore, that's the right size for an adult Dilo (just like Velociraptor being bigger).

My suggestion for a real sized "Dilophosaurus" in-game would be to add a close relative species, such as Sinosaurus or Dracovenator, and give it a novel-based skin, black, red and yellow

I think it would be awesome to have a dracovenator in game! I really like the snout that guy is packing.
I suggest to include a larger variant of the dilophosaurus to add something exclusive to the genetic modification part of the gameplay, something more than a cosmetic gene. Plus I am fascinated by creatures with a monarch like behavior, and it may give us something interesting to showcase to the park. A dinosaur that gives off orders without leading the charge herself unless she is truly needed.

The Indominus Rex should be able to do that now with the Velociraptors.
