Giganotosaurus is a genus of carcharodontosaurid from the Early Cenomanian stage of Cretaceous Argentina. Its only known species is G.carolinii. And then Carcharodontosaurus was gonna be an alternate skin for it but was discontiuned.
Giganotosaurus was added to The Isle in Patch 0.1.11.2967.
In Real Life[]
Although its remains are incomplete, Giganotosaurus was a large predator, with the known two individuals being 12.4 and possibly 13.2 meters (41-43 feet) in length, around 3.7 meters tall and weighing around 8.8 tons (17,600lbs), making it up 90 cm longer, but significantly lighter, than "Sue." The larger of the two specimens has been considered closer in scale to the type specimen than linear scaling would produce. It has been hypothesized that it may have simply had a larger dentary, rather than actually being significantly larger.
It probably hunted large sauropods such as Andesaurus, Argentinosaurus, Limaysaurus and Nopcsaspondylus, as well as other mid-sized animals like Ekrixinatosaurus or juvenile sauropods.
At safest top speeds, Giganotosaurus could have probably moved at 31 miles per hour (50km/h), making it a fairly fast animal for what it was hunting.
Giganotosaurus was probably proportioned similarly to closely-related Mapusaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The arms appear to have been proportionally small and relatively immobile, similarly to its relative Acrocanthosaurus. Its bite wasn't as powerful as derived tyrannosaurs, meaning it more likely used its jaws to inflict large bleeding wounds.
In The Isle[]
Giganotosaurus has high bleed damage, base damage, and weight, making it a hard-hitting ambush predator, however if the ambush fails it is still able to chase down some dinosaurs with sheer endurance. The usual hunting strategy is to ambush or chase down medium-sized animals or to steal from smaller predators.
While you can fight other apex predators alone, a Tyrannosaurus can break your leg and finish you off with around 5-6 Bites. On the contrary, you need 8 Bites to kill a Rex. Compared to a Spinosaurus, the Giga is equal. In a 2 v 1 situation, Giganotosaurus can bleed out Tyrannosaurus relatively safely. Giganotosaurus has the 3rd highest bleed resistance in the game, making it a challenge for Acrocanthosaurus and Allosaurus to effectively hunt.
General Information[]
Pros:[]
- Highest bleed damage in the game
- Highest stamina of survival Apexes
- Second highest base bite damage and speed of any survival Apex, only behind Tyrannosaurus.
- Quick alt-turn speed.
- High bite rate.
- 3rd best trot speed in survival after Gallimimus and Maiasaura.
- Regenerates stamina while walking or standing, unlike Tyrannosaurus.
- High hunger time (Fully grown adult).
- Can overpower a Tyrannosaurus if skilled enough.
- Good Sub Adult stage
- Sub-adult Giga can often overpower Suchomimus and Sub Tyrannosaurus.
- Sub Giga when running has the best turn radius in survival (which allows it to dodge direct attack at it).
- Sub adult Giga is, overall, the best non-apex survival dinosaur. (in terms of combat)
- Arguably the best hunter in the game (it can track down nearly anything over long distances if it is good enough at following its preys footprints)
- Extremely good turn speed when trotting.
Cons:[]
- Has a relatively long stamina regeneration time.
- Hard to hide due to its large size.
- Easily outrun by Tyrannosaurus, however, the Giganotosaurus trot is faster and has higher stamina.
- Juvenile and Sub Gigas are slow and have mediocre Stamina, along with quick food and water loss.
- Slow run and mediocre ambush (30.6 kph, 39.8 kph).
- Can be killed by Tyrannosaurus if given the chance.
- Having a slow sprint during its sub-adult stage makes it easy to be caught by full-grown apex predators.

It was modeled by Jake Baardse.[1]
It is confirmed that its sounds were intentionally made to be like that of the Giganotosaurus from the game Dino Crisis 2.[2]
