DINODEX // Jurassic World Evolution 2 Full Dinosaur Guide

Dinodex Full Guide Introduction & Spreadsheet Link

Welcome to the Dinodex, the complete guide to all dinosaurs in the game, including DLC, Avian, and Marine creatures! This guide provides information on each dinosaur's likes/dislikes, environmental needs, and more to help you build your dream sandbox park (or to help you get through the story missions)!

While I needed to shorten the guide's length to fit here on Steam, the spreadsheet version of my guide offers more information! You can see each dino's family, time period, default traits, and more! Did you know that Albertosaurus is in the Tyrannosaurid family, or that Tyrannosaurus Rex actually lived in the Cretaceous era instead of the Jurassic era? Now you know!

Click here to see the full guide in spreadsheet form: Dinodex - Jurassic World Evolution 2[docs.google.com]

The spreadsheet version may not open or display properly on all devices. For those who prefer the Steam guide version, read on below!

All categories are divided into different chapters you can click on -->

Herbivores - Ornithomimids

Ornithomimids are gentle, bird-like dinosaurs that stand on 2 legs. By default, they are often born with the Skittish or Social traits. While these animals were likely omnivorous in real life, they are all herbivores in Jurassic World. The is actually in the Pachycephalosaurid family, however it is categorized under Ornithomimids in the game for some reason.

Herbivores - Pachycephalosaurids

Pachycephalosaurids are 2-legged herbivores with hard, thick skulls. They often scrap with each other and sustain concussions or other injuries. The (D. hogwartsia) is named after the famous school in Harry Potter.

Herbivores - Hadrosaurs

Hadrosaurs are duck-billed dinosaurs that can stand on 2 or 4 legs. They are non-aggressive and typically need a lot of water. They often come with the Thirsty or Social traits.

Herbivores - Ceratopsids

Ceratopsids are 4-legged dinosaurs with horns and large, bony crests. These dinos can occasionally be aggressive towards park rangers, fences, or each other. All of them come with the Social trait by default, but they can also occasionally come with the Aggressive trait.

Herbivores - Stegosaurids

Stegosaurids are herbivores with 2 short front legs and 2 longer hind legs, built for grazing on low plants while keeping their dangerous tails held high. They are thought to have some of the smallest brains of all dinosaurs, and often come with the Short Lived trait by default.

Herbivores - Ankylosaurids

Ankylosaurids are 4-legged herbivores covered in tough, bony plates called osteoderms. They all come with the Defensive trait by default, but some are also Needy or Antisocial. Note that the has a security level of 6, so it can break through the highest-tier of fence.

The is named after Michael Crichton, an author who wrote some kind of novel about dinosaurs, that was later turned into a movie, and then a video game.

Herbivores - Sauropods

Sauropods are the largest land animals to ever walk our planet. They often come with the Large Appetite gene and require a lot of food and space to feel comfortable, but luckily, they do not need to be in large herds.

Small Carnivores

These small carnivores are 2-legged predators that evolved into modern-day birds. Many of them had feathers, though they could not yet fly. Small carnivores can exhibit pack hunting behaviors in this game if you give them an herbivore to attack - definitely something to look at!

(or Compies) can safely co-habitate with many other dinosaurs. If they are kept with SMALL CARNIVORES, they will get eaten. If they are kept with Medium or Large Carnivores, they will be ignored (unless you starve them).

*Camp Cretaceous DLC.

Medium Carnivores

Medium-sized carnivores are interesting because some of them can co-habitate with each other. As long as you keep them comfortable and they don't have the Aggressive trait, species that like each other will never attack each other. Keeping these carnivores together is a good way to get some high appeal in your park.

The Camp Cretaceous DLC unlocks the special red skin for Toro.

Large Carnivores

Large carnivores are the apex predators of the game, and the largest predators to ever walk the Earth. Most of them are solitary and come with the Aggressive or Large Appetite genes. Make sure you can keep them happy before you have them in your park!

Land Piscivores

Piscivores are fish eaters, so you must provide them with a fish feeding station. All 3 of these species are in the Spinosauridae family and are closely related to each other. These semi-aquatic dinos come with the Thirsty trait by default and require a lot of water in their enclosures.

You may notice that ' base appeal is slightly higher than Tyrannosaurus', meaning it is the canonically cooler dinosaur. Don't @ me.

Hybrids

Hybrids are the flagship dinos of the Jurassic World series. These fictional, carnivorous dinos will almost always come with the Aggressive and Sickly traits.

The can be kept with Velociraptors, as long as the Indominus is the Alpha. If you do it right, they will never fight. For info on how to ensure who is the Alpha, please see my Cohabitation/ Alpha Dynamics guide here on Steam.

Avian / Flying Reptiles

All avian reptiles are piscivores (fish-eaters) and need to live in an Aviary. The Aviary needs to be a minimum of 4 pieces large.

The (M. spielbergi) is named after Steven Spielberg, the director of Jurassic Park.

Marine / Water Reptiles

Marine reptiles require a Lagoon at least 4 pieces large. They all eat Fish except for the , who eats Sharks and has the HIGHEST appeal in the game by far.

The Attenborosaurus, discovered in England, is named after David Attenborough.
