Deinocheirus is a genus of large ornithomimosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous around 70 million years ago.
In Real Life[]
Deinocheirus is thought to have been omnivorous; its skull shape indicates a diet of plants, fish scales were found in association with one specimen and gastroliths were also present in the stomach region of the specimen. The large claws may have been used for digging and gathering plants. Bite marks on Deinocheirus bones have been attributed to the tyrannosaurid Tarbosaurus.
In The Isle[]
"Giant armadillo claws for the hands, both for offence and to dig up plants and perhaps water sources. Lastly coot-like pads were added on the feet as a little detail suggesting the mud dwelling life.
We had some additional features in mind for the neck and even the nose, but decided to hold off on those for now, saving them for the future elder stage and potential cosmetics." - DevBlog #14: Building Up - Tapwing
