Wild Roar Figure Guide

Ceratosaurus Wild Roar

Ceratosaurus is the horn-nosed predator that shared the Late Jurassic with Allosaurus and Stegosaurus, and it also had a feature almost no other meat-eating dinosaur had: a line of bony armour down its back. Mattel added it to the second Wild Roar wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a lime-green figure with dark blue stripes, a roar sound and an attack motion. Here is what the figure looks like, what made Ceratosaurus unusual, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Armour Check: A Predator With Plates

Most meat-eating dinosaurs had no armour. Ceratosaurus did.

Feature fileThe armoured hunterCeratosaurus nasicornis
Named: 1884, Othniel MarshNose: a blade-like hornBack: a row of small bony platesTeeth: very long, blade-like
A narrow row of small bony plates called osteoderms ran along the middle of the back of Ceratosaurus. It is one of very few theropods known to have them.

Its upper teeth were so long that some scientists think it may have hunted large prey with slashing bites.

What Is Wild Roar?

Wild Roar is the mid-sized assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line. Each figure has a roaring sound, an attack motion and movable joints, and runs on small button cell batteries. Like every Epic Evolution figure, it comes with a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App.

Ceratosaurus came in the second Wild Roar wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Parasaurolophus, Pachyrhinosaurus and Majungasaurus.
