Chapter 9: GigaTherizino-claw

( Giant Scythe Claw ) During the late cretaceous period one of the most unusual species of dinosaur the Therizinosaurus managed to cross various land bridges to seek refuge at the Croodaceous skull island. Over time these bizarre ornithopods grew twice the size of their ancestors who have developed sloth like knuckle walking for quicker travel. In addition it has given them stronger arms and hands for better grabbing and pulling. However the main thing is that their claws have gotten a major upgrade because while they are significantly shorter they are also much more durable, so that they are strong enough to penetrate harder material, like those of Saurocrocomorphs, whose stronger than a average armor wouldn't do much against the claws of these plant eaters. One swipe is twice the force of a razor sharp spiked wrecking ball, and to help their feathers have sharp quills, and their beaks are designed to give a powerful ( for an Ornithopod's Standards ) bite. However larger Saurocrocomorphs, Short faced bears, Crocodilians and especially the TarboDiablosaurosuchus would be more than capable of killing and eating one. Not that it would be easy in any form shape or way, since not only is one of these herbivores dangerous by itself, they also travel in herds of up to 20 individuals.
