Adasaurus breaks with expectations: its famous foot claw was rather modest.
Adasaurus breaks with expectations: its famous foot claw was rather modest. Like other raptors, it walked on its hind legs and had clawed arms and a long tail. Yet the curved claw on its second toe was relatively small and less developed than in some of its relatives.
Three stages. One companion.

Beyond the game
The real Adasaurus
Its fossils come from Mongolia’s Nemegt Formation. The incomplete skeletons reveal important differences in the pelvis and legs, as well as allowing anatomical comparisons with other dromaeosaurids.
Belonging to a family does not mean keeping exactly the same tools. Adasaurus’s reduced claw shows that even raptors had changes and specializations that do not fit a single image of a predator.
