The '''Parasaurolophus''' (known as the '''Parasaur''' in {{WW|short|nolink}} and {{CF|short|nolink}}, and the '''Parasaurus''' in {{NL|short}}) is a three-part [[fossil]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{WW}} that appears in all subsequent games to date.

When donating to Blathers in {{WW|short|nolink}}, he will provide the following information about the fossil:

''"This dinosaur lived until the very end of ALL dinosaur-kind, you know. The magnificent crest on its head was actually hollow bone measuring over 3 feet! BA-ROOOOOOOOOOOO! A mighty cry would echo across the land when it tooted it! Ah. Hoo. Did I spit on you? I rarely get to cut loose like that, wot? I'm an owl."''

The Parasaur can be found in the first room of the fossil exhibit in the museum.

When donating the final part to Blathers in {{CF|short|nolink}}, he will provide the following information about the fossil:

''"The parasaurolophus lived until the end of the days of the dinosaurs! The crest on its head was a hollow bone over three feet in length. This beast could toot its own horn, wot! The very thought of the sound it might have made ruffles all of my feathers!"''

The Parasaur can be found in the first room of the fossil exhibit in the museum.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
After donating the final part of the fossil in {{NL|short}}, its plaque in the museum will read:

''"The parasaur is well known for the distinctive head crest extending from its nose to behind its head. The crest was formed from a hollow bone that was more than a yard in length. Theories hold that it was used to amplify the creature's vocalizations for a variety of reasons."''

The Parasaurus can be found in the first room of the fossil exhibit in the museum.

|description=Hootie-hoo, Parasaurolophus! I like to think of it as the beast with the golden tones. You see, the three-foot structure of hollow bone atop its head MAY have been an elaborate noisemaker! As a dyed-in-the-feathers optimist AND music fan, I like to think it serenaded the late Cretaceous!

==Real-world information==
''Parasaurolophus'' was an herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur. It lived 76 to 73 million years ago in North America and possibly Asia. While no complete skeletons have been found, it is estimated to reach about 9.5 meters long and weigh 2.5 metric tonnes. It is best known for its crest, which evolved from the premaxilla and nasal bones and contained a hollow tube extending from the nostrils before turning around and heading back into the skull. Hypotheses for the purpose of the crest include sexual display, communication, and thermoregulation.
