''Achillobator'' ( ) is a dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur that lived roughly 98 to 83 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous in what is now Mongolia, in Asia. It was among the largest dromaeosaurs; the holotype and only known individual of ''Achillobator'' is estimated at long.〔Holtz, Thomas R. Jr. (2011) ''Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages,'' (Winter 2010 Appendix. )〕 ''Achillobator'' was a moderately-built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore. It would have been an active predator, hunting with the enlarged, sickle-shaped claw on the second toe. ==Etymology== The genus name ''Achillobator'' means 'Achilles hero' and is derived from Achilles, a famous ancient Greek warrior who fought in the Trojan War, and the Mongolian word ''baatar'', anciently ''bagatur'', which means 'hero'. The generic name refers to the large Achilles tendon that connects to the sickle claw on the foot, which was the major combat weapon of dromaeosaurids. The specific name ''giganticus'', is derived from Greek word ''gigantas'' (γίγαντας) meaning 'giant', which is in reference to ''Achillobators size, which exceeds that of most other dromaeosaurids.
