If you've played any of the older Turok titles, then you probably already know that dinosaurs play an important role in the series. It looks like Propaganda Games is continuing the tradition with the latest installation of Turok (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC).

Gamers will be happy to know that list of the confirmed creatures in the game have been revealed. In addition, the developers have also released a video explaining the mechanics behind the dinosaurs in Turok.

Propaganda Games' Turok PC Xbox 360 PS3 - Image 1 According to the developers of the game, the dinosaurs in Turok were designed to deliver a sense of fear.

To accomplish this, they took a few liberties with the creature's anatomy. Take for example, the T-Rex in the game whose size was doubled to exaggerate both the creature's movements and stance.

All this talk about dinosaurs might have made you curious about what creatures are in the game. Well, here's a list of all the critters that has been confirmed :
  • Brachiosaurus
  • Coelophysis
  • Compsognathus
  • Dilophosaurus
  • Dromaeosaurus — Small, big-eyed raptors. Possibly juvenile
  • Gallimimus
  • Lurker — A fictional dinosaur created for the game. It is a cross between a dinosaur and a jungle cat in appearance
  • Parasaurolophus
  • Tyrannosaurus Rex
  • Juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex
  • Utahraptor — Apparently there are different types of this dinosaur: male, female and juvenile versions
  • Giant scorpions
  • Miscellaneous giant insects
  • Miscellaneous sea serpent boss
  • Pteranodon
  • Other herbivores — Some dinosaurs like these are harmless
  • Giant carnivorous plants
That's quite a list of creatures that players will have to watch out for in the game. If it makes you feel better though, the bad guys have as much to fear from these prehistoric monsters as Turok. Then again we think its best if you hear it from the developers themselves. Here's the video of them talking about this and more. Enjoy!

So far the developers haven't shown any pictures of dinosaurs in jerseys. We'll have to wait till the game comes out to be sure.
