Diet: Meat, large animals

One of the oldest recorded species: they were one of the first diosaur species to walk the land, often being cosidered the base for all carniviourus dinosaurs, beliving that they evolved from them. Due to this: While they are categorized as a member of the Raptor family due to their physical similarities, their bodies are much more primitive and they lack many features of their relatives. They also posess a unique primal form: turning into a relativly large Raptor-like creature. However: their transforming is not due to power but to how ancient their species is. By many this is considered as yet another link to their decendants, such as the famous Tyranno family.

As their bodies are primitive, so are their minds. A Herrera is primarily an instinctual hunter: And they almost never think stratigically, preffering to use their own power to rip their prey apart with their teeth and claws. Do not mistake them as being simple-minded however:  they are suprisingly cunning, and only hunt in their usual manner because they feel that their power is enough for whatever task they need to accomplish, not needing anything to be added. Their intellect also makes them quite proficcient in the main sciences and even their decendants biology: Because of this if a Tro is unavailable to speak with about Dinosaurian manamo or a typical field of science: a Herrera is often who people will head to next for the information they need. They also can be found as bodygaurds or escorts: their individual power alone often giving even a rampaging Tyranno pause.

For them each of these to sides of themselves ae equally perfect and they never apologize should either side of their personality harm anyone, often citing the other persons carelessness as an excuse. Often the only time they'll ever admit to being at fault is with a guy they like. Whenever a man comes across them their cunning side immidiatly begins to analyze him, checking him to see if he's worth persuing. For them: their ideal mate must be perfect like them They often determine his worthiness by observing his personality or power, and should he only check out one standard they will take matters into their own hands and subtly attempt to either improve his strength or make him nicer to others. Once they feel  he meets both of these standards they head to him and state their desire of him and their wish to copulate, while most accept them there are several men who occasionally run from them: should this occur, they stop thinking and chase him like any prey, and will not stop until he is captured and has satisfied their sex-craving(Which is also quite feirce too)

When mating they ravage thir partner, often being rough and not giving him any chance to rest. This is not due to malice however: their minds are simply overrun with pleasure and they simply want more. Despite this though there is a way to turn the tables on them, should their mate have the stanima to turn the tables on them the Herrra will become much more agreeable and submissive, and will allow the man to do whatever he wishes to her. In any case after either scenario the Herrera will consider the man her husband.

After the mating a married Herrera's mannerisms and disposition do not particularly change, howerver their devotion to their husband is unquestionable, for them: he is somthing that completes her and she will do whatever possible to please him, even going so far as to attempt to bring down a Gigant for him! A note of caution for their husbands however: to other Herrera's, the sight of a married one is the sign of a man worthy of being their mate, and sometimes within days a new husband can find himself with a whole harem of Herrera's.

Oddly: when it comes to belief for them they seem to worship a being called the "Acsended scale", coming from a legend. In that story: many millions of years before they were monsterized an individual Herrerasaurs was hunting when it was chosen by a god, and was evolved into a unique being. While they themselves do not know the identity of this being, they veiw that individual as a sort of god, and they all aspire to be what that creature has likley become.

Curiosly, they have a strong dislike of Coleo's, considering them to be brutish fools,  and should a pack of them attak a Herrera, they will preceed to fight the entire gang until they've beaten them all(A relativly easy feat due to their power). Should a married herrera encounter a pack of Coleo's, she will lead them on a sort of baiting game until their husband is near them, and they will offer the downed Coleos to him as a sort of pet. Due to this it is possible that a man will often end up with a large harem containing Coleos and Herrera's.

(Well, I hope this one is well liked! The Herrerasaurus was always one of my favorite dinosaurs because of how it was one of the first, and I tried to play that into the manamo. I made their rivaly with Coleos because they are both tirassic manamo, and because I imagine a Herrerasaurus would've had a rivalry IRLT back in those days....If you guys like this one then feel free to leave any thoughts or worthwhile criticisms down below!!)
