Order: Theropoda
Family: Dromaeosauridae

Mass: 80 kg

One of the most famous of dromaeosaurs. Its fossils gave rise to the theory of pack hunting dinosaurs.

Together, the Deinonychus pack is heavier than the scimitar coalition, and their claws and climbing can allow them to dominate the scimitars.

[dinosauria101]

I'd favor the Deinos here as well. They can 'prey-ride' and outlast the scimitars via stamina all while doing some very bad damage with jaws and claws, and I don't see how the scimitars get past that most of the time

[TigreFeroce9]

I say the Deinonychus pack wins because they have strength in numbers

[6f5e4d]

Since the scimitars would be big targets, the Deinonychus might be able to hit hard with their raptor prey restraint, allowing them to precisely bite down on the cats.

[dinosauria101]

^Yes, the RPR. That would be a smart choice.

[6f5e4d]

And not even the saber teeth of the scimitars can protect them from that.

[dromaeosauridae117]

This is a tough one. A single African lion is capable of fending off an entire clan of hyena's, sometimes even killing a few in the process. On the contrary, Deinonychus is sufficiently equipped to deal some damage, especially when they outnumber the cats 3:1. It's a coin toss.

[all]

Deinonychus outnumber Scimitars by quite a bit.  Not only is their total weight larger but they can come from many sides. Their legs armed with long claws have both the range and the ability to inflict lots of damage. They are the more likely to win. Scimitars do have a chance but it would be difficult.
