Wild Roar Figure Guide

Parasaurolophus Wild Roar

Parasaurolophus is the duck-billed dinosaur with the long, curved tube on its head, and that crest may have worked like a trumpet. Mattel added it to the second Wild Roar wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a golden-yellow figure with a pink back and crest, a sound and an attack motion. Here is what the figure looks like, how the crest made sound, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Sound Lab: The Trumpet Crest

The Parasaurolophus crest was hollow, with air tubes running from the nose up into the crest and back.

Lab notesA dinosaur with a horn sectionParasaurolophus walkeri
Named: 1922, William ParksCrest: up to about 1 m longInside: looping air tubesSound: a deep, low call
In the 1990s, scientists scanned a Parasaurolophus skull and built a computer model of the air passages. Blowing air through the model produced a deep, booming note.

The calls may have helped herds keep in touch, and the crest itself was probably also a display.

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.

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

Parasaurolophus was a hadrosaur, a duck-billed plant eater. Its hollow crest may have been used for calls and display.
