History VideoGame / CarnivoresTriassic

* NintendoHard: The animals in this game are considerably harder to kill than in the official trilogy due to the more advanced AI, increased health and the lack of instant-death weak spots.

* KingofDinosaurs: Unusually for the series (but understandably, considering the setting), the ''T. rex'' absent. [[spoiler:That is, except for the eighth map, where a dead ''T. rex'' [[NightmareFuel alongside countless other recently deceased dinosaurs, soldiers and even tanks]] implies [[FinalBoss something even worse is yet to come.]]]]. As it turns out, this is eventually revealed to be the [[spoiler:''Gojirasaurus'' doing]].

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Subverted. Dinosaurs play a smaller role in this game's ecosystem than in the official series, excluding ''Ice Age''. Synapsids and basal archosaurs are more common and diverse.

* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Carnivores Triassic'' is considerably more challenging than its official prequels.

* StockDinosaurs: Averted, with the possible exception of Coelophysis, Plateosaurus and Megalosaurus.

** Although [[spoiler:this is probably meant to be the fictional gojirasaurus/godzillasaurus first featured in the 1991 movie ''Film/GodzillaVsKingGhidorah'' rather than the real species named after it in 1997]].

* TyrannosaurusRex: Unusually for the series (but understandably, considering the setting) absent. [[spoiler:That is, except for the eighth map, where a dead T.rex [[NightmareFuel alongside countless other recently deceased dinosaurs, soldiers and even tanks]] implies [[FinalBoss something even worse is yet to come.]]]]. As it turns out, this is eventually revealed to be the [[spoiler:''Gojirasaurus'' doing]].

A freeware, stand-alone mod for the 1998 ''VideoGame/{{Carnivores}}'' series created by Dory Holtzman (creator of Webcomic/{{Poharex}}), ''Triassic'' expands upon the canon established by the original trilogy and adds an entirely new region to the ''Carnivores'' planet with its own unique animals and challenges. If you're a fan of the series or just looking for a hunting simulator with a twist, it's well worth your time.

* {{Acrofatic}}: Placerias turns out to be quite a fast runner despite its portly figure.

* BewareOfViciousDog: The Feral Hounds, brought to the Triassic Sector by poachers and then left to their own devices, will not only attack the hunter on sight but also, according to the game's lore, are slowly killing off some of the local species.
* BouncingBattler: Coelophysis, Herrerasaurus and Postosuchus would all leap at their prey.

* AdaptationalBadass: The real ''Gojirasaurus'' was a most-likely dubious, big-sized but still slender and fast coelophysoid dinosaur. [[spoiler:This one is a straight-up Godzilla expy]].

* RaptorAttack: Averted. As the game's roster borrows from the Permian and Triassic periods, no Dromaeosaurids are present in the Triassic Sector. [[spoiler:Yet.]] Coelophysis and Herrerasaurus are the closest animals in-game to fill the raptor niche.

[[caption-width-right:333:Good ol' ''Liliensternus'' here is just one of the many wonderful and exotic critters waiting to pick your bones clean.]]

* StockDinosaurs: Averted, with the possible exception of Megalosaurus.

* [[Precursors]]: ''Carnivores Triassic'' expands further on the ancient civilization introduced in the first ''Carnivores'' game (and abandoned almost entirely in subsequent titles). Several maps contain ancient monuments, often with a story behind them.

* [[Retcon]]: In the first Beta versions, Coelophysis had a color scheme closely resembling its counterpart from ''Series/WalkingWithDinosaurs''. During development it was considered to change its color scheme to match its equivalent from ''[[FanonDiscontinuity Carnivores Cityscape]]''. However, Tatem's decision to release Coelophysis as an additional animal for ''Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter'' led the developers of ''Triassic'' to recolor their Coelophysis after the Tatem version.
