Two specimens have been identified as the genus R. gigallo: a male and a female, both adults.

Due to the elusive nature of this apex predator, only low resolution IR profiles of the two specimens are available. Thanks to the analysis on the remains of a Sairasaura florensia allegedly attacked by speciment RG1_001 nicknamed "Kuany", the hypothetical dossier for this species identifies its unique traits as:

- medium to large build with considerable mobility

- Shark-like serrated teeth

- strong and partially articulated arms

- limited social intellgence

- acute tracking abilities

hybernation?

IR contact surveillance seems to suggest that the R. gigallo might be hybernating during the coldest snaps of winter.

Both specimens have been observed these past 5 years to increase hunting behavior considerably during autumn months, and then take prolongued shelter inside of caves following such frenzy activity.

This behavior coincides with the Sairasaura florensia and Nuralosaur atlantiensis migratory patterns, suggesting that the R. gigallo could be taking advantage of these herbivores during their most difficult times, when they are low on food and starting to feel the effects of the winter cold. The still hypothetical hybernation ability would give the R. gigallo the option to simply wait for the return of prey in early spring.

Reproduction

lvl5 mating?

IR contact observation of the only two specimens found in the Anvil Valley area immediately around Gardia_C1 suggests solitary behavior outside of mating.

Both specimens have only been discovered in the past 5 years and have not yet been seen interacting with each other.

It is speculated that these two individuals are in fact interacting with each other by virtue of scent marks and long-range calls. It is unclear whether they have ever mated; the female has not yet been seen caring for young, but it is possible that she may in fact have procreated - such scenario would suggest limited or absent parental behavior.

Closer and longer observation required.

obligate carnivore?

Data, findings, and observation seem to confirm the R. gigallo as the apex predator of the Anvil Valley area.
