Characteristics
History
It was discovered in 1923 and named 1933. It lived in Mongolia, coexisting with Gigantoraptor. Only leg bones have been discovered, but they're enough to identify that it was a theropod and likely had very similar proportions to a Tyrannosaur. It was named the alone lizard because its remains were so far apart from other fossils, characterizing Alectrosaurus like a loner (he just like me, fr).
