Gasosaurus was a fierce and fast, medium-sized meat-eater. It may have been related to Megalosaurus  , but very little fossil material has been found. It is known from only a few bones, so many of its exact features are educated guesses on the part of scientists.

The skull on the type specimen is complete conjecture. Described in 1985, it is possible that this dinosaur is the same as Kaijiangosaurus.
