Parasaurolophus

The Parasaurolophus is a cat-type dinosaur enemy found in the Jurassic chapter. It is an environmental manipulator: its attacks always critically hit Wet units, and it actively tries to toss units into water tiles to create that Wet condition. This creates a two-stage threat where the Parasaurolophus first repositions your cats into water, then unleashes guaranteed crits on the soaked targets.

The toss-into-water attack is a setup ability — the Parasaurolophus is not simply attacking, it is preparing the battlefield for the critical strike follow-up. In rooms with significant water coverage, a successful toss can leave a cat both repositioned away from the party and exposed to guaranteed crits for the rest of the fight. Multiple Parasaurolophus attacks in succession can keep a single cat perpetually Wet and crit-vulnerable.

Avoid standing near water tiles in Jurassic rooms where Parasaurolophus appears. If a cat gets thrown into water, cleanse the Wet status immediately or move them onto dry land before the Parasaurolophus acts again. Killing it quickly denies the critical setup. Ice-element attacks can freeze water tiles in the area, removing the Wet application vector and limiting the Parasaurolophus's primary threat mechanics significantly.
