Deinonychus

Deinonychus (die-non-ih-cuss, meaning "Terrible Claw") is a neutral medium to small-sized prehistoric creature that was added in Build 6.0. It can grow to approximately 1.7 blocks tall and 3.5 blocks long in 12 Minecraft days. It can drop deinonychus meat, deinonychus talons, leg bones, arm bones, rib cages, vertebrae, claws, feet, and skulls upon death. Like most other mobs in the mod, they do not spawn naturally in the world and must be created by the player.

As of Build 6.3.1, they come with feathers that can be toggled off in the Revival mod config file. The feathers do not change the behavior of the deinonychus.

BEHAVIOR
Deinonychus are very fast neutral mobs. They can run about as fast as a spider, if not faster. They will kill only when provoked or hungry and cannot break blocks. Their prey includes chickens, pigs, cows, horses, compsognathus, dodos, and pachycephalosaurus. They will also attempt to kill gallimimus, but will die trying. They are prey only to tyrannosaurus, ceratosaurus, and Sarcosuchus. Deinonychus are pack hunters, so they will rush to defend injured deinonychus in the area. They have a special attack which is shared with the velociraptor, which is pouncing at their prey rapidly.

Deinonychus can also climb blocks with their talons like spiders and do not take fall damage. How high they climb varies. A large enough wall, roof or overhang for their enclosure is a good idea. They can also very rarely learn how to open chests in search of food when hungry.

Deinonychus breed every 5 minutes in adulthood. The breeding probability is determined by how many deinonychus are nearby.

TAMING
Deinonychus are tamable dinosaurs. The player needs to stay in a 6-block radius of the egg as it hatches to tame one. If this opportunity is missed, the player must hand-feed the deinonychus any food until it is tamed. A tamed deinonychus can be commanded by right-clicking it with a bone.

FEEDING
Deinonychus can be hand-fed all types of meat (except rotten flesh and fish). They will also feed from feeders, and can very rarely learn to steal food items from chests.They will hunt other mobs only when hungry.
