Trivia

• Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
  • Japanese: 頭に一まいのとさかを持つ肉食恐竜だ。アロサウルスのなかまと言われている。
  • English: A carnivore with one crest. Said to be related to Allosaurus.
  • Taiwanese: 在頭部有著一枚頭冠的肉食恐龍，據說是異特龍的同類。
• DS Game Encyclopedia enty: A carnivore with one crest on its head. Thought to be related to the Allosaurus.
• It was the second dinosaur available as a Fossil Card.
• Along with Carnotaurus, Utahraptor, Ceratosaurus, Allosaurus, Neovenator, Dilophosaurus, Megaraptor, Deltadromeus, Eustreptospondylus, and Sinraptor, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Wind Egg card.
• The DS game's Dinosaur Encyclopedia oddly lists Monolophosaurus in the very limited allosaurid family alongside Neovenator and Piatnitzkysaurus.
