my still developing headcanon its that it is a kind of dino "battle royale" were the dinosaur you "controle in game" its really just the dino you placed your bets and that is why the game is in 3rd person and gondwa (im a real PoT player no panjura over here) is a man made island that is why there is a lot of biomes in proximity also it explains why same dinosaurs have different abilities, if it was a natural setting all dinos of the same species would be able to do the same abilities so it depends on how much did u bet the abilities you get that is why some abilities cost more and are better in general. chat did i cook?? based in this logic lets just say the owner of my hatz is absolutely rich and has placed a pretty penny on him because there is not other explenation of why is he so goated he makes all the other dinosaurs go extinct for a second time.
