Dilophosaurus
"These agile Jurassic predators use a combination of scent and sight to stalk their prey. Their frills become extended whenever they become aggressive. They can spit a paralyzing venom that quickly tranquilizes small prey."

Pleasing Tourists
"Tourists might think a Dilophosaurus is cool because it spits poison, but most mainstream travelers will not have heard of it. It's tough for a Dilophosaurus to please thrill seekers, since it's the weakest of the carnivores. Your only chance is to build a pen where it and several small herbivores can battle it out. It strikes out with dino nerds, too, it's the only dinosaur that doesn't have a historical partner. Forget about fun lovers; they don't want a carnivore, especially one they would have trouble seeing among a pen's grass, paleo trees, and hills." ~Prima's Official Strategy Guide
