Inostrancevia

This ferocious rhino-sized gorgonopsian is like a hellish combination of sabre-toothed cat and komodo dragon, a brutal killer and expert ambush hunter, as well as the largest of its breed.

Inostrancevia mainly hunts the huge pareiasaurs such as scutosaurus, but humans on horseback are no safer than these lumbering reptilian hulks in the thinner canyons of the harsh, arid plains and the boggy lowland regions of river-encircling oasis jungles. The deadliest feature of this predator isn’t its bone-crushing bite, but the numerous bacteria festering in rotting meat lodged in its deadly dentition.
