Behavior
Camptosaurus is a small intelligent herbivore and is often seen hopping around in search of food, for they are always hungry. They have the tendency to stay on high alert due to their fear of carnivores spotting them. Camptosaurus is also a very friendly herbivore, being able to group with any and all herbivores no matter the tier. They even go up to other herbivores and give them food out of friendliness, although Camptosaurus prefers to be grouped with one another, creating huge families. If these families get chased by any carnivores, they scatter after letting out an alert call (exclamation mark), then proceed to run from each other completely to increase their chances of survival. After the carnivore gives up, they reunite and continue their endless life of running around and having fun by chasing each other around playing games.

Everybody Scatter
