High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Achillobator is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur from the late Cretaceous Period of what is now Mongolia, about 90 million years ago. It was probably an active bipedal predator, hunting with the large sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each hind foot. It was a large dromaeosaurid: the holotype and only known individual of Achillobator is estimated as 5 meters long. The generic name comes from Achilles, a famous ancient Greek warrior of the Trojan War, and the Mongolian word bator. It refers to the large Achilles tendon needed to use the sickle claw on the foot, which was the major combat organ of dromaeosaurids. The one species is named A. giganticus because it is much larger than most other dromaeosaurids.
