Line #5 YMMV/CarnivoresTriassic


1	* {{Fanon}}: Despite being a fan-made modification and unrecognized by the official series' developers, this game has earned enormous popularity in the ''Carnivores'' community, being considered by many a true sequel to the original trilogy.
2	* 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.
3	* NightmareFuel: Being a DarkerAndEdgier take on the franchise's canon that elaborates upon the world-building of the ''Carnivores'' universe lore which was largely absent in ''Ice Age'', there are plenty of noteworthy moments:
4	** The Triassic sector as a whole takes the DeathWorld aspect of FMM UV-32 up to eleven. You now hunt your prey in vast, inhospitable deserts, wastelands with excessive volcanic activity and outright sinister [[EldritchLocation otherwordly places]]. The animals living there are more aggressive, hardy and deadly than everything you're used to, and the subtle storytelling hidden in each map gives some unsettling insight on the planet's original inhabitants and Dinohunt Corp's more shady actions...
5	** Dory Oasis, the fourth map, is actually a gorgeous, pleasant tropical jungle in the middle of the desert, that is, until you hear a creepy, low-pitched ethereal drone which comes from a huge, jade-colored temple located over the crater of a volcano in the center of the oasis itself. Approaching the temple's altar [[spoiler:results in your immediate death due to the poisonous radiation emanating from the three gemstones]].
6	** Vertigo Range has an abandoned facility near a bunch of highly-polluted water ponds near the middle of the area. Occasionally, a pounding sound can be heard coming from inside the metal stall at the place. If the facility is "[[NothingIsScarier truly]]" abandoned... ''Who'' or ''what'' [[FridgeHorror makes that sound?]]
7	** Greenshire. Sounds like a lovely GreenHillZone, right? Ha, ha, ha, NO. [[spoiler: It's actually an horrifying EldritchLocation with an unnatural [[DarkIsEvil Tartarean atmosphere]], an ominous sky that is always covered in dark grey, stormy clouds, and is filled with huge craters seeping with deadly radiation, which is implied to have been used to create the ''Gojirasaurus''. Its reputation as this is also aknowledged InUniverse, as many hunters refuse to go there and believe the area is ruled by strange supernatural forces.]]
8	** -ERROR-, the final map. As if the name wasn't already enough, [[spoiler: you start at the broken border between the Central and Triassic sectors, implying ''something'' made its way to the arid badlands. As you explore the site, you come across the corpses of multiple dinosaurs, animals, and ''even humans'', from the two previous games which were brutally killed off by an unknown creature. The ''T.rex'' that gave you so much trouble? ''[[TheWorfEffect Lots of them]]'' perished at the jaws of something ''way worse''. When you reach the center of the place, you'll come across the destroyed remains of a massive Dinohunt Corp base, with lots of stationed warships. Parts of the wrecked complex are flooded with huge pools of radioactive liquid, all while the sounds of sirens and gunfire can be heard in the distance, with a fallen sign saying "[[ShoutOut Project G]]" in the place's grounds. Long before the ''[[FinalBoss Gojirasaurus]]'' was revealed as the culprit of the disaster, the whole area was one huge exercise in NothingIsScarier.]]
9	*** The [[spoiler: ''Gojirasaurus'' itself, and pretty much everything related to it. It is a massive, hybrid aberration created by Dinohunt Corp themselves with radioactive substances obtained from Greenshire, to be a deadly bioweapon. Naturally, the hyper-aggressive beasts go rogue and escape from containment, savagely destroying and killing everything and everyone in their path until they breach into the Triassic sector, threatening to become a highly-dangerous invasive species. And obviously, Dinohunt now needs YOU and your fellow hunters to clean up their mess. With its frightening design, monstrous roars, sheer ferociousness and large amounts of health, the ''Gojirasaurus'' is a truly fiendish opponent.]]
10	*** The creation of [[spoiler:the ''Gojirasaurus'' gives us a glimpse into Dinohunt's more illicit activities. A bioweapon for war? Were they planning to sell it to someone? And, after the whole incident, what's stopping them from making something similar, or perhaps worse?]].
11	* SequelDifficultySpike: ''Carnivores Triassic'' is considerably more challenging than its official prequels.
