Field Guide: Dinosaurs
Eight species roam Isla Sorna. Collect their eggs, carry them to your Base Camp and hatch them in an Artificial Nest or Incubator, and they fight on your side. Wild ones attack anyone, hunters included.
At a glance
Damage is rolled between the two numbers, then the target's armour is taken off. Accuracy is the chance in 10 that an attack lands. Speed is pixels per game tick (a jeep is 14). Hatch times are at normal game speed.
