The Tyrannosaurus Rex is perhaps the most famous of all the dinosaurs and has captured the imagination of people for centuries. That being the case, there isn’t much to be said about the towering carnosaur. The T – Rex is both a hunter and a scavenger. Its favoured prey are large animals that offer little or no danger to it, including buffalo, horses, deer and cattle. Humanoids can be easy prey too, except they often spit fire (weapons) and have tough shells (body armour). The Tyrannosaurus Rex also feed on Duckbills, Leatherwings, and, although dangerous, cannot resist the sweet taste of Tri–Tops flesh.
Besides the gaping mouth filled with serrated teeth the length of daggers, one must beware the beast’s slashing tail and the claws of the hind legs. The so called “king of the dinosaurs,” while fierce, suffers from stiff competition. Direct competition from other large predators has generalized Tyrannosaurus, levelling the top of the food chain. The T – Rex will hunt whatever prey it can kill. They are also aggressive scavengers who are known to chase away smaller predators (and humans) from their own kills and claim the carcass for themselves. The Tyrannosaurus is typically a solitary hunter, so encountering more than one, even a mated pair. is a rarity. The Tyrannosaurs numbers are not only held in check by natural conditions like available food and competition, but they are also actively hunted as well by trophy hunters who see the T – Rex as the ultimate prize in big game hunting.
The meat of the T – Rex is chewy, fatty and bland, but edible.
ABILITIES
Good speed but can only run at full speed without exhaustion for 15 minutes, typically moves along at about half maximum speed. Can go without food or water for up to two months without noticeable effect (lives off the fat stored in its tail). The Tyrannosaurus has excellent hearing and outstanding sense of smell: can smell blood and decaying flesh up to 1.5 miles (2.4 km) away, track by smell and is surprisingly fast and responsive for a creature its size.
HABITAT
Tends to prefer forested areas and mountain lowlands. Actively avoids cold weather.
