- Intelligence: Medium intelligence with aerial superiority
- Damage Output: Moderate dive-bomb attacks
- Weaknesses: Ground-based weapons, limited stamina
Behavior Patterns
- Aerial patrols monitoring facility from above
- Dive-bomb attacks combining speed and surprise
- Grab attempts lifting player to high altitudes
- Nest defense of eggs or young
- Environmental perching for tactical positioning
Combat Strategies
- Heavy weapons for reliable ground-to-air damage
- Timing-based attacks during dive patterns
- Ceiling obstacles preventing aerial access
- Environmental attacks targeting perched positions
Dilophosaurus
Characteristics
- Size: Medium, 5-7 feet tall
- Speed: Moderate speed with burst capabilities
- Special Ability: Venom spit and neck frill display
- Damage Output: Venom adds damage-over-time effect
- Weaknesses: Vulnerable during venom spit animation
Behavior Patterns
- Camouflage abilities blending into environment
- Venom projection at medium range
- Threat display expanding neck frill when threatened
- Pack hunting in coordination with other dinosaurs
- Ambush tactics using surprise and venom
Combat Strategies
- Quick evasion of venom spit attacks
- Counter-attack during neck frill display window
- Gas masks or protective equipment for venom immunity
- Area-of-effect weapons when frill is expanded
Triceratops
Characteristics
- Size: Large, 8-10 feet tall
- Defense: Extremely high with thick skull and horns
- Attack Patterns: Charge and horn attacks
- Temperament: Generally defensive but aggressive when provoked
- Weaknesses: Slow turning, vulnerable rear/flank areas
Behavior Patterns
- Territorial patrol within specific areas
- Charge attacks when player enters threat range
- Horn slashes causing massive damage
- Protective positioning between player and objectives
- Group defense when multiple dinosaurs present
Combat Strategies
- Flanking maneuvers attacking from sides or rear
- Heavy weaponry to break through armor
- Weak point targeting at softer underbelly areas
- Distraction tactics drawing attention away from charge path
Hybrid Creatures
Cybernetic T-Rex
- Enhancements: Metallic plating, energy weapons
- Abilities: Enhanced speed and tactical systems
- Weaknesses: Cybernetic vulnerability spots
- Behavior: More intelligent than natural T-Rex
- Combat: Requires specific countermeasures for armor type
Modified Raptors
- Upgrades: Speed boosters, claw enhancements
- Intelligence: Increased tactical coordination
- Abilities: Wall-running, enhanced leaping
- Weaknesses: Electronic interference vulnerability
- Behavior: Elite hunters serving security functions
Dinosaur Variants
Juvenile Forms
- Smaller versions of main dinosaur types
- Faster movement but lower health pools
- Different attack patterns compared to adults
- Pack behavior more pronounced in juveniles
- Vulnerability: Higher damage taken from all attacks
Alpha Variants
- Larger size and enhanced stats
- Special abilities unique to alpha status
- Leadership behavior directing pack movements
- Higher intelligence and tactical decision-making
- Reward: Better drops and upgrade materials
Combat Difficulty Progression
Early Game Dinosaurs
- Basic raptors with predictable patterns
- Fewer special abilities requiring simpler tactics
- Lower health pools allowing quick kills
- Environmental advantages favoring player position
Mid-Game Dinosaurs
- Mixed species requiring varied strategies
- Enhanced abilities complicating combat encounters
- Higher health pools demanding better weapons
- Tactical positioning becomes crucial
Late Game Dinosaurs
- Elite variants with maximum stats
- Multiple special abilities requiring advanced tactics
- Boss-level encounters with complex mechanics
- Environmental hazards reducing player advantages
- Resource scarcity increasing combat difficulty
The diverse dinosaur enemy roster in Code Violet provides challenging and varied combat encounters that force players to adapt their strategies and make effective use of available weapons and resources.
