Baryonyx
Baryonyxes are bipedal, omnivorous dinosaurs that dwell in the tropics of rainforests and humid swamps. They will eat plants and berries when needed, but primarily live on a diet of fish. They can commonly be observed hunting like waterfowl: patiently waiting in shallow waters, their long, thin snouts hovering above the surface, waiting for the right moment to jab down and snatch up their prey. A Baryonyx is hard to catch and harder to train, but many swamp-dwelling humanoids quietly follow Baryonyxes to find out where the best places are to fish.
