Description: Dilophosaurus is an early medium-large theropod characterized by paired delicate cranial crests and a relatively gracile snout. The crests likely functioned in sexual or social signaling. Its bite mechanics appear less mechanically robust than those of larger allosauroids, suggesting a mixed diet potentially including fish and small vertebrates. Cinematic portrayals of a neck-frilled venom-spitter are purely fictional.
