Therizinosaurus (name meaning "Scythe Lizard"), also commonly dubbed The Giant Claw due to its large scythe-like claws, is a genus of herbivorous therizinosaurid theropod dinosaur that originated during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Asia. Originally believed that the claws (due to their large size) were the bones of a giant turtle and later discovered to be a theropod-like herbivorous dinosaur, Therizinosaurus was the last and arguably the largest representatives of its unique group, the Therizinosauria.
Thought to have been extinct for 65 million years, there are still groups that remain alive on Primeval Island.
