Wild Roar Figure Guide
Megalosaurus Wild Roar
Megalosaurus was the very first dinosaur ever given a scientific name, back in 1824, before the word dinosaur even existed. Mattel added it to the first Wild Roar wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a terracotta-brown predator with a mustard-yellow back, a roar sound and an attack motion. Here is what the figure looks like, how Megalosaurus started the science of dinosaurs, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

History Card: Dinosaur Number One
Every list of dinosaurs starts with Megalosaurus.
Early reconstructions, like the 1854 Crystal Palace statue in London, showed it as a giant four-legged lizard. We now know it walked on two legs.
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.
Megalosaurus came in the first Wild Roar wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Ekrixinatosaurus, Gryposuchus and Hesperosaurus.
Paint and Colours
A warm, earthy scheme. The body is a terracotta brown, a mustard-yellow band runs along the back and neck, and the head has red spots and markings. The open mouth shows big white teeth.
Sculpt and Detail

About Megalosaurus
Megalosaurus was named in 1824 by William Buckland from fossils found near Stonesfield in Oxfordshire, England. The name means great lizard.
It lived in the Middle Jurassic, about 166 million years ago. It was about 6 to 7 m long and weighed around 1 tonne.
Megalosaurus was a large theropod, a meat-eating dinosaur, and probably the top predator in its part of Jurassic England.
