Early Life Behaviour
Newborn Sauropodlets are skittish; staying within the nest because of their shy nature. When their is silence they slowly waddle outside of the nest's safety to explore the area around them. However, they do not leave the vicinity of present adults. Once night comes, they become more confident and leave the nest more frequently then at day.

Juvenile Magyarosaurus less dependant of the safety the nest provides for them and explore more of the area around the adults. Despite building up more confidence, they never wander away from attending adults and will hide behind their backs when something new approaches them, herbivore or not. Although they still maintain their nervous instincts they had as sauropodlets, they do not hesitate to play games with their siblings or other Juvenile Magyarosaurus. They also practice pushing over trees and wallowing in the mud with their parents.
Solitary Behaviour
Due to their highly social behaviour, Magyarosaurus look for company from others or completely different herbivores. Whilst searching for friends, they remain quiet so to avoid attracting the attention of predators such as Albertosaurus or Tyrannosaurus.

Once the sun sets, Magyarosaurus call out to fellow herbivores constantly. When they realise they cannot find others, they will trundle through forests calling out more and more often. The searching calls then convert into scared cries when they cannot find others. Once they hear another call they gradually calm down. Sometimes, these cries of fear will anger Diurnal dinosaurs and the calls that Magyarosaurus receive are angry snarls that will only attract the dwarf sauropod to the agitated sleeper.
Social Behaviour
Within a group, Magyarosaurus always stay together and almost rarely leave the sights of their fellow Titanosaurids. Males however prefer to mostly patrol around the area the group are resting within to try and see off any potential threats when meanwhile Females mostly bask in the sun eating and socialising whilst protecting their nests

Should the group come across another kind of herbivore? They may start attempting to socialise with it as they are highly social dinosaurs despite their anxious nature as Sauropodlets unless they are in the mood to do so Magyarosaurus sometimes follow other groups of herbivores to try and seek out better sources of food and water in case the situation becomes dire. Magyarosaurus also rest in dense forests the same way they do when they're alone. They also extremely tolerate any unknown Juveniles travelling with them. Females are extremely protective of them and will even die to save them.They will feed them and look out for them until they are adults which is when they get treated as any other adult. Even males will look after unknown Juveniles, whether they are Males or not they will treat them as their own children until they are adults and they begin to treat them like adults


Territorial Behaviour
Males are the perfect definitions of territorial. When faced with a carnivore, Magyarosaurus Males will do anything in their power to protect Juveniles and Females, whether it's their mate and children or not. They rear up on two legs to form an impressive, formidable display. Should the threat come close to them, they will relentlessly chase it off until it's away from the herd. When they catch intruding predators they grab them by the tail and throw them like a beach ball

Despite their aggression towards predators, they will happily allow other herbivores around the area they live in. If it's a bully like Pachycephalosaurus harassing their children, they will most likely chase it off and never tolerate it near them.

Predator Reaction
Magyarosaurus is a herbivore that returns the courtesy if a predator doesn't show signs of being a threat. Magyarosaurus consider a carnivore staring at them as a threat and will show off displays to ward off the threat. However, one predator that they let off the hook is Latenivenatrix, as they serve as cleaners if they cannot rid themselves of pesky insects but are weary of them when they have children.

If it's a threat out of their league, like Tyrannosaurus, then they will resort to fleeing. Magyarosaurus scurry and separate to make it harder for them to be found. To make it even harder, they run into dense forests to escape the menace. In the panic, Magyarosaurus accidentally abandon any Sauropodlets or Juveniles they have. And once the threat is gone, they reunite with their young ones
Aggression
Magyarosaurus are extremely protective of nests, Juveniles and other Magyarosaurus and will sometimes prefer a member's life over their own in order to save them if the situation rises up to that. They don't even tolerate other herbivores around their nests, whether they are a threat or not

As for Carnivore wise, Magyarosaurus will tolerate that of Latenivenatrix but will still keep a close eye on them. But react so aggressive that it reveals fragments of a sort of two-faced behaviour that Magyarosaurus bear. This aggression keeps their children alive and their eggs intact
Courting and Reproduction
Being social sauropods, Magyarosaurus don't fight for mating rights. Instead they knock over trees and showoff displays in a trial of strength. If neither males have backed down, then they will carry on bulldozing trees to try and impress the female they are contesting for.

Once these trials of strength have finished, the Female will choose a mate out of the two whom she thinks has proved to be an able father for her children. The Females all nest together to help raise each other's young as the Males patrol around the nesting grounds to see off any potential threats. The Males will also help fill the nests with food while their mates look after the eggs

When the eggs hatch, The mothers will tend to them constantly and never leave their side unless a large threat out of their league appears. They also make sure that nothing else comes near their nests or children as they are seen as dangers to them.
