Monolophosaurus Strike Attack
Monolophosaurus is a mid-sized hunter from China with a single tall crest running along its snout, and its name means single-crested lizard. Mattel added it to the second Strike Attack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a blue-grey figure with a red-orange crest and a press-to-strike bite. Here is what the figure looks like, how the crest was built, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Crest Blueprint: Hollow and Light
The crest of Monolophosaurus looks heavy, but it was full of air spaces.
A hollow crest might have helped Monolophosaurus make louder calls, but there is no way to be sure from bones alone.
What Is Strike Attack?
Strike Attack is the action assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line. Each figure has one built-in strike move: press the button on its back and it lunges into an attack, no batteries needed. They also have movable joints and a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App.
Monolophosaurus came in the second Strike Attack wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Chasmosaurus, Gastonia and Dilophosaurus.
