Grallator is an ichnogenus defined exclusively by its footprints, with no associated skeletal fossils identified to date. Its name, meaning "stilt walker," reflects uncertainty regarding limb proportions due to the absence of fossilized bones. The term "Grallae" references long-legged birds such as herons and storks, suggesting morphological similarities. Grallator Variabilis is thought to resemble Coelophysis based on footprint morphology. These tridactyl prints, typically measuring two to six inches, have been documented in Canada, the northeastern United States, and Europe. Named by Edward Hitchcock in 1858, the specimens from southern France originate from slate and shale deposits indicative of low-lying or shallow tidal environments. Classified as a theropod, Grallator is inferred to have been a carnivorous, oviparous reptile that likely led a solitary existence, as evidenced by predominantly single-animal trackways.
