The Tyrannosaurus Rex, also known as the Tyrannosaurus, was one of the largest land carnivores on Titan.[1]
Description[]
Its name meant "King of the Tyrant Lizards" in a forgotten language, and it lived up to this reputation. Growing up to seven metres tall and sixteen metres in length, and weighting around seven tons, a t-rex could outrun most creatures and would attack almost anything that it came across.
It was bipedal, and had a long tail to help it balance. A tyrannosaurus had a large chunky torso, with three fingered arms that were small compared to the rest of their body. Its head was nearly the size of a human, and the mouth was full to the brim with with knife like teeth for tearing flesh.
Due to its size, it was an apex predator that hunted other dinosaurs such as a triceratops, and was known to pull creatures out of the water, such as a tylosaurus, when food was scarce.
The eggs of these dinosaurs can fetch up to 1000 GP if they contained live young, but getting them to a potential buyer is extremely difficult, as they could weigh up to 250kg and are two metres across.
Origins and Distribution[]
The Tyrannosaurus is found in the jungles and wilderness of Allansia. It exists since time immemorial, since a complete skeleton of one was found in the ruins of Carsepolis and animated by the wizard Xortan Throg. In addition, it could be found in the parallel world that could only be reached through the Portal of Evil.
Real World Equivalent[]
Tyrannosaurus Rex was a Therapod of the late Cretaceous Period. The Fighting Fantasy Tyrannosaurus Rex is obviously based on this, although there are differences. The individual illustrated in Portal of Evil has three fingers on its forepaws instead of two.[2]
