Parasaurolophus is a hadrosaur in The Isle.
Parasaurolophus was added to The Isle in Patch 0.1.38.5.
In Real Life[]
Parasaurolophus was a large hadrosaur most well known for its crest, which was a large nasal cavity shaped like an elongated tube. The main purpose of this crest is mainly unknown but it has been suggested that it has been used for display, acoustic resonance, communication, or maintaining body temperature. One of Parasurololphus' closest relative is Charonosaurus, which had a similar appearance to it. One of P.walkeri's predators was Albertosaurus. Like Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and Velociraptor, Parasaurolophus is one of the most recognized dinosaurs seen.
In The Isle[]
Parasaurolophus is a well-balanced herbivore. It's best in a herd also close to a herd of Triceratops as they provide protection from predators, likewise contributing with its loud warning call and scouting range. If not in a herd, it's vulnerable to Tyrannosaurus Rex and Giganotosaurus as they can surprise a lone Parasaurolophus. A lone Parasaurolophus also has to be cautious of Allosaurus packs as they can easily hunt down one quickly with its combination of bleed and damage.
"Returning to the stage is one of our loudest creatures on the isle, Parasaurolophus."
"This one has been tricky as it’s more of a looker than a fighter; not that it can’t slap away smaller animals, but when the big predators roll in, it’ll need to pull out a different bag of tricks to make up for its lack of weaponry. Its agility is its first asset. being surprisingly nimble for its size on all fours, it can make those ambushing attempts that much harder to land. Against more endurance style hunters though, its voice would give it a second chance. As an ear bleeding yell might stagger the predator long enough to give Para a good head start in running away."
"All in all they are sociable singers and get the most benefit from being around others. 2’s a party and 3 is a crowd is not a sentiment the Parasaurolophus shares." - Tapwing presenting the new Concept art DevBlog#30

Dondi has stated it to be one of his favorite dinosaurs.
No animations or announcements have been made regarding the Parasaurolophus, but judging by the recent skulls released it can be assumed that it will be reworked to incorporate these.
