Deinonychuses are widely known and feared both for the razor-sharp claws with which they savagely disembowel their prey and for their unmatched mastery of pack tactics, which enables determined deinonychus packs to consistently bring down prey much larger than themselves. Some iruxi and xulgath communities train these dinosaurs to act as battlefield skirmishers, weakening their enemies with hit-and-run tactics before closing in for the kill.
