The Compsognathus was a type of theropod dinosaur. They were small, no larger than a turkey and were mainly scavengers.
The compsognathus was one of the species that the Silurians brought back from extinction after they took over in a parallel world. Compsognathuses would scavenge from the humans and their settlements. While searching for medicine, Ace, Benton, Jan, Julia and Alan were followed by a compsognathus, which Ace unofficially adopted as a mascot and named after Benton. She later chased it off after it was found scavenging one of their dead horses. (NA: Blood Heat)
