"Temen Que El Dino"

Film: The Beast of Hollow Mountain (1956)

Alias: None

Type: Ancient

Location: Forest/Desert

Height/Weight: Twice that of an average elephant.

Affiliation: Neutral

Summary: When you want a dinosaur to terrorize some people and you can't get your hands on a T.Rex, don't fret! Just use the T.Rex of the Jurassic period, the Allosaurus. This beast can be the bane of the more southern regions, such as Mexico.

History: In the more rugged parts of Mexico, there is what the locals refer to as "Hollow Mountain". This place is considered no-man's land by everyone, as it is said to contain ancient relics of the past, particularly a large bull Allosaurus that terrorizes the neighboring town and its cattle every time there's a drought.

Notable Kills: After the beast approaches a herd of cattle, said herd is spooked into running over two vagrants and giving the town a taste of the Mexican tradition known as "The Running of the Bulls".

Final Fate: Alas, it is the over-glorified white man who saves them all, as a newbie cowboy lures the monster into stepping into a mire, where the beast sinks and disappears into the muck.

Powers/Abilities: It is slightly bulletproof.

Weakness: Anything conventional.

Scariness Factor: 2.5-Its close-up shots are portrayed by feet and arms more at home at Party City, and the stop-motion can get a little choppy at times, but the mangy look helps.

Trivia: -Not a single Allosaurus fossil has been discovered in Mexico.

-Allosaurus means "Strange Lizard" in Greek. It was discovered in the late 19th century during the infamous Bone Wars, a time when paleontologists were at each other's throats trying to find new discoveries.

Nice tongue you got there.
Afer being awakened, a little murder-spree usually happens.


Do I see any T.Rexes capable of actually using their grabby hands?


"GET OFF MY PROPERTY, YOU DAMN KIDS!"
In no way is he part dragon. Sorry.



Turns out, wood doesn't taste as good as the Apatosaurus said it would.
Lady, pay attention to the killer dinosaur already!



Cattle is the new baby Stegosaurus.
