AN: I'm taking a break from the Saurocrocomorphs for a bit, I'm having a bit Writers block about them.
Chapter 7: Lanciaspillosaurus
(Spiked Lance lizard). Giant Styracosaurus descendants twice the size, and length of the original species, and in addition to now weighing at 21 tons, they have three unique adaptions. One: they are partially amphibious with the fins and webbed feet best suited for swimming. Two: they have bioluminescent spots all over their body for communication and Three: they have venomous spikes on their quill fins each having to venomous potency of that of a king cobra bite. However they still have their fair share of predators, such as crocodilians, Fresh water Marine Reptiles, predatory fish, Cephalopods and Saurocrocomorphs, which is exactly why they have such potent venom, because even if they get attacked the predators wouldn't live long afterwards. That is why The young of these creatures are most commonly attacked because their venom isn't as potent as the adults. This doesn't mean that the adults are completely protected from predation as other there main predators the giant Splendor squid and the Ceratosuchus are immune to their venom. It does mean though that the herd mentality of these creatures is not meaningless, as their predators would be overwhelmed by the sheer number of horns and venomous quills.
