The abelisaurids were a family of advanced ceratosaurians related to the noasaurids. Many had head ornamentation, and some had highly reduced (squashed, really) forelimbs (way more than the tyrannosaurids). Abelisaurids are one of the many theropod families split between the Fire and Wind Elements.

Like most theropods, abelisaurids were carnivorous bipedalism. They were characterized by stocky hindlimbs and extensive ornamentation of the skull bones, with grooves and pits. In later abelisaurids, like Carnotaurus, the forelimbs became vestigial, the skull became shorter and bony crests developed above the eyes. Most of the known abelisaurids would have been between 5 to 9 meters (17 to 30 feet) in length, from snout to tip of tail.

Before becoming well-known, fragmentary abelisaurid remains were occasionally misidentified as possible South American tyrannosaurids.
