The [[Parasaurolophus]] and the [[Acrocanthosaurus]] are currently the only two creatures to have an ability call. To use their ability, they must use the [[Keybinding\|Creature Ability key]] (default “Z”).

	The [[Parasaurolophus]]' ability call is an alarm call. When used, it plays a loud warning cry that varies in length depending on the significance of the threat. If faced with one of the least threatening predators, such as a [[Velociraptor]], it will let out a short call. If faced with a significant threat, such as a [[Tyrannosaurus rex]], it will let out a long warning cry. Creatures that have received an alarm call will be highlighted for anyone in the same group as the Parasaurolophus who has used the ability. The alarm call does not work on fellow herbivores.

 Using the alarm call consumes 30 Ability Power.  It serves no direct combat purpose as it provides no stat-based buff or debuff, but is highly useful for alerting nearby herd members of a stalking predator.  In some situations such as during an [[Weather|intense storm]], the visibility it provides can also be helpful given it highlights the marked player in bright, emissive red or purple.  Successfully using the alarm call is a two step process.  When [[Secondary Attack|right mouse button]] is pressed, a small cursor will appear at the center of the player's screen.  Releasing the mouse button with the cursor over a [[Carnivorous Creatures|terrestrial]] or [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic predator]] or a prey with the [[Acrocanthosaurus]] will mark the player for 10 seconds, sound the alarm call, and inform your herd in chat.  Only the marked player, yourself, and any other player in your herd will be able to see the mark, but all players can hear the call.
