Deinonycanis is a dinosaur/mammal hybrid that is part of the Chaos Effect toy line from Kenner. It is a mixture of Deinonychus and the dire wolf (Canis dirus, currently reclassified as Aenocyon dirus).

The idea behind Deinonycanis was to breed a hybrid that could be controlled by humans with ease, but, like all other experimental dinosaur hybrids, Deinonycanis used their enhanced sense of smell and hearing to track down and hunt their creators instead of obeying them. Deinonycanis are fast, smart, and very dangerous, with at least 7 of the pack hunters was created.
