The Isle Evrima Dinosaur Tier List

How to read this list

Tier reflects overall balance — combat, mobility, growth speed, and ease of survival. S-tier dominates servers; D-tieris fine for beginners or niche fun. Tiering does NOT mean "only play S-tier"; the game is more fun when the ecosystem has every tier represented.

S — Dominant

• Tyrannosaurus

  Best stats in the game, decent stamina, intimidates entire servers. Slow growth and obvious silhouette are the only counters.

• Deinosuchus

  Semi-aquatic apex. Untouchable in water; vulnerable on land. Unmatched ambush potential.

• Allosaurus

  Best stamina among apex carnivores, strong bleed pressure. Pack play is brutal.

A — Strong

• Diabloceratops

  Tanky mid-herbivore with surprising damage. Hardest to gank in groups.

• Triceratops

  Slow but a wall — almost nothing solo-kills a full-grown Trike.

• Carnotaurus

  Fastest apex carnivore, best stamina, weak armour. Hit-and-run king.

• Stegosaurus

  Thagomizer one-shots most mid-tier carnivores; slow but defensible.

B — Balanced

• Ceratosaurus

  Mid carnivore. Solid pack hunter; underwhelming solo against apex.

• Dilophosaurus

  Venom spit is unique; fragile in melee.

• Herrerasaurus

  Lightweight, sprint-heavy. Good for ambushing herbivores.

• Tenontosaurus

  Mid-large herbivore. Outpaces most carnivores in straight lines.

• Pachycephalosaurus

  Headbutt charge is high damage; small frame is hard to spot.

• Maiasaura

  Group-play herbivore; safety in numbers.

C — Niche

• Baryonyx

  Semi-aquatic carnivore; outclassed by Deinosuchus in water.

• Beipiaosaurus

  Omnivore; hard to use solo, fun in groups.

• Gallimimus

  Speed and stamina are top-tier; combat is non-existent.

• Pteranodon

  Only flier; reconnaissance value beats combat value.

• Kentrosaurus

  Spikier baby Stego; outshone by Stego at adult.

• Omniraptor

  Pack omnivore; relies entirely on group play.

• Austroraptor

  Mid raptor; lower ceiling than Omniraptor in a pack.

D — Starter / Niche-only

• Dryosaurus

  Speed-tank herbivore — best beginner pick. Survives forever, kills nothing.

• Hypsilophodon

  Tiny herbivore; hides constantly. Frustrating to play long-term.

• Troodon

  Smart but tiny; group-only viable.

• Oviraptor

  Egg-stealer with sharp niche; not a combat dino.
