Jurassic Park Wiki

July 2009

Dilophosaurus is a carnivorous dinosaur (specifically, a coelophysoid theropod) from the early Jurassic period of Arizona.

Jurassic Park features a juvenile Dilophosaurus which made up for its small size with a waving frill, and a highly corrosive venom that temporarily blinded its prey, eventually causing paralysis. While it is only seen in Jurassic Park, it has been used on many different items of merchandise for The Lost World and Jurassic Park III. It is also depicted on the screen saver and in the trailers of The Lost World, confirming its presence on Isla Sorna.

In the novels, it is far more accurate, not having the frill and appearing as an adult, but still spits venom. Interestingly, another coelophysoid theropod, Procompsognathus, is also venomous in the novels.
