Therizinosaurus

In Real Life
Therizinosaurus is a genus of very large therizinosaurid that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now the Nemegt Formation around 70 million years ago. The first remains of Therizinosaurus were found in 1948 by a Mongolian field expedition at the Gobi Desert. Fossils of this species were first described by Evgeny Maleev in 1954 and originally thought to belong to a turtle-like reptile. The genus is known only from a few bones, including gigantic hand claws, from which it gets its name, and additional findings comprising forelimb and hindlimb elements that have been discovered during the 1960s-1980s. Therizinosaurus comprises the single species T. cheloniformis, which could grow up from 9 to 10 m (30 to 33 ft) long and weigh possibly over 3 t (3,000 kg). It had the longest known claws of any land animal, reaching above 50 cm (500 mm) in length. Unlike other therizinosaurs, the claws were very stiff and elongated, but like other members, it would have been a slow-moving, long-necked/high browser herbivore equipped with a rhamphotheca (horny beak) and a wide torso for food proccesing. Originally, they were thought to be some kind of Cretaceous sauropodomorphs or transitional ornithischians, but after years of taxonomic debate they are now placed within the Theropoda, specifically as maniraptorans. The unsually elongated hand claws of Therizinosaurus were more useful when pulling vegetation within reach rather than being used for attack or defense. Therizinosaurus was a very tall animal, likely having a reduced competition over the foliage and outmatching predators like Tarbosaurus.

In Prehistory
Therizinosaurus is an apex herbivore in Prehistory. It deals very high amounts of damage with blazing attack speed. However, its poor health and damage resistance puts it below the Stegosaurus among most players and downgrades it to the weakest apex. However, it is still no pushover. It can handle all Tier 4s with ease, and pretty much gives Acrocanthosaurus an even fight if skillful enough to. Despite not being as tanky as the Stego it can deal with Allosaurus better as Stegosaurus has trouble hitting Allosaurus, as it is a very agile predator. It surprisingly has a chance against a Tyrannosaurus by abusing its high turning and small hitbox, camping the torso. Therizinosaurus' biggest weakness is the Carcharodontosaurus. If you encounter one, you have to fight with all you've got and use your attack speed to your advantage. They are also decently fast;only outrun by a sprinting Acrocanthosaurus. Therizinosaurus' ideal habitat is the plains as it doesn't have to worry about its vision being blocked by trees due to its height. Unlike in Demo, Therizinosaurus is fairly rare and is probably the rarest Herbivore due to Edmontosaurus being an overall better choice.

Pros

 * Good damage output
 * Exceptional Attack Rate
 * Good turning
 * Smallest hitbox for an apex

Cons

 * Lowest durability for an apex
 * Can easily be overpowered by Acrocanthosaurus if given the chance.
