It is also giant in size, dwarfing the typical bosses, including even the Dragon. It is about the lenght of the Ice Titan.

Background
The Experimental Giganotosaurus is created by Rockwell himself and was likely his prized creation as it was heavily guarded by various VR creatures, Turrets and Drones

Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Experimental Giganotosaurus.

General
The Experimental Giganotosaurus is a fearsome enemy as it has a wealth of dangerous attacks to shred enemies apart, especially due to the fact Edmund Rockwell has twisted its behavior completely in his own fashion to be more dangerous than its normal counterpart.

Strategy
Movement is key when fighting the Experimental Giganotosaurus as it has various attack's and players can easily get overrun by VR creatures if they aren't careful enough.

Its extremely helpful to do well on the biotank objective as any biotanks saved will result in the creatures inside coming back for the boss fight to help the players against the Experimental Giganotosaurus.

You can also bring up to 5 tames with you which is also extremely important as there can only be up to 5 with 1 per player so choose wisely.

Recommended Tames

 * A or 2 (preferably mate boosted) should always be brought into any arena as it's one of if not the most valuable creature for Boss fights due to its courage roar ability and good stats making them a jack of all trades mount.
 * A couple of fast moving tames such as the will be helpful as the Experimental Giganotosaurus is slow and slow to turn making avoiding its attacks alot easier
 * Bringing a is a good strategy for almost any boss due to their high health and damage.
 * If players are willing to put the effort into micromanaging their food the can also be valuable due to their healing ability.

Dangers

 * The Experimental Giganotosaurus has extremely powerful attacks that can easily down a player and provides a extreme threat
 * The Experimental Giga should not be underestimated from afar as its ranged attacks can make short work of the player should they not be cautious enough
 * VR Creatures will continuously spawn and possibly overrun players if they aren't careful.
 * Much like regular Giganotosaurus, this counterpart can cause Gnashed debuff, and enrage if enough damage is dealt towards it. This will kill off any tame, including player's tame, if left to bite at them.
 * There can only be at max 5 tames with 1 per each player making combating the boss fairly difficult with the limited number of tames at the players disposal especially if the player doesn't do well in the biotank portion of the mission.
 * The max tame does not apply to any cured dino that was rescued from the Biopod at Phase 3 of the mission whom will appear to aid the survivors in the mission.

Weaknesses

 * The Experimental Giganotosaurus is very slow and can be avoided easily.
 * Ontop of that it lacks the ability to sprint making avoiding it's physical attacks fairly easy.
 * It has a slow turning radius which can be used to the players advantage.

Notes/Trivia

 * The Experimental Giganotosaurus is the only mission boss to not be a guardian as:
 * The guards the Biomedical System.
 * And the Mek Rider (the Malfunctioned Mek Knight and the Malfunctioned Mek Strider it rides on) guards the Ventilation System.
 * Another interesting thing to note is not only is it not a guardian but is the only one to be guarded itself as the other bosses are used as a last line of defense the Experimental Giganotosaurus was guarded itself as opposed to being a last line of defense like the other 2 Bosses.
 * The Mutant Giga is fairly massive being around the size of a Titanosaur and dwarfing a regular Giga
 * it is even as long as the Ice Titan (although in everything else such as height and weight it is smaller)
 * it is one of the 4 mission Bosses in Genesis Part 2 with the other 3 being the, the Mek Rider and the DodoRex.
 * It is the first Dinosaur based Boss in the game.
 * it shares many similarities to such as:
 * Enormous size dwarfing its normal counterparts.
 * Tentacles and a overall deformed appearance.
 * Massive increase in power.
 * Decaying appearance.
