Talk:Stegosaurus/@comment-29637681-20170407051343

I honestly find it fairly interesting(read: fairly inaccurate) that:

1.) It has a PATHETIC damage output and its tail attack, even factoring in knockback, will only do at most 12 hearts, which is not enough to reliably take down ANY large predator in this mod. Given the size of the spikes, the length of the tail(about HALF of its length!), and the size of the animal in general, it may be safe to state that it could easily cripple an Allosaurus with one swipe to the leg or rib, provided it didn't just hit the brain and destroy it in one blow.

2.) Its main predator, Allosaurus, DOESN'T attack it, but a very foreign(as in not hailing from nearly the same time period) animal, the Tyrannosaurus, DOES. Oh, and an even more foreign animal that hails from a different time period AND continent, the Sarcosuchus, also attacks it. This baffles me the most; a several Stegosaurus bones found in Utah's Cleveland Lloyd Quarry suggest that Stegosaurus may have been a major part of Allosaurus's diet.(For context, about 33% of the animals in the Cleveland Lloyd are Allosaurus, and Stegosaurus also made up a major part of the bones, though not as much as the Allosaurus. Such a large number of Allosaurus and Stegosaurus remains suggest that an Allosaurus pack may have followed a Stegosaurus prey into a swamp, where they all got trapped, and in an effort to hunt/protect each other, respectively, they all were buried in the swamp.) An Allosaurus hipbone also had major indentations that were likely from none other than Stegosaurus. Because of this, Allosaurus and Stegosaurus more likely than not shared a predator-prey relationship.

3.) They're stupidly fast here in the mod. Yeah, sure, they could run at fairly fast speeds. Of a fantastic 10 miles per hour.

and 4.) Stegosaurus is rather passive in this mod and never attacks unless attacked first, and even then it will die no matter what. Just look at rhinos or hippopotami; they likely wouldn't hesitate to kill an intruder if they thought they were being threatened, and it's possible Stegosaurus would be just the same. The fact that it has a very small brain, particularly in the "logic," and, if I really wanted to pull a Dinosaur George Blasing, "problem solving," area. This would othen lead to an ovely cautious mindset, and anything that dared to draw close that wasn't another Stegosaurus would trigger its rampage. Of course, this could also apply to Triceratops, Brachiosaurus, and, as always, Ankylosaurus.

Other than that, your Stegosaurus is very accurate. Keep up the good work; I love the mod, and I hope we can get some new mobs soon.
