Trivia

• Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
  • Japanese: 頭にふたつのとさかを持つ肉食恐竜だ。とても古い時代の恐竜だ。
  • English: A double-crested carnivore from the early stage of the age of the dinosaurs.
  • Taiwanese: 在頭上有著兩個頭冠的肉食恐龍,是很古時候的恐龍。
• DS Game Encyclopedia entry: A carnivore with two crests on its head. This dinosaur is from a very early period.
• It was the third dinosaur available as a Fossil Card.
• Along with Carnotaurus, Utahraptor, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, Neovenator, Monolophosaurus, Megaraptor, Deltadromeus, Eustreptospondylus, and Sinraptor, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Wind Egg card.
• Along with Tyrannosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Edmontonia, Corythosaurus, and Camarasaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese non-sale North American Egg card.
• A chibi version of Dilophosaurus was set to appear in the Dainason on the Kyoryu-King official site, but the site was closed before the character, along with other chibis, could make an appearance. However, it does appear on a Dainason brochure.
• Because of its appearance in the Jurassic Park movies, Dilophosaurus is often imagined to have an expandable frill around its neck and to be able to spit venom, even though this is not true. In Dinosaur King it is correctly shown without these features.
