Introduction

Tyrannosaurus Rex or T-Rex, for short, is a massive bipedal lizard-like animal. They are ferocious carnivores and dangerous to all creatures, even dragons, if caught unaware. These huge predators roam their territories, protecting their claim and devouring food when it pleases them. King of lizards is an apt name.

Physiological Observations

Intelligence

T-Rex, while are talented in decision making during a battle, are not overly intelligent creatures. They are as capable as any lion or other predatory beast, yet easily outsmarted. They have few tactics outside of ambush and slight herding into favorable terrains when chasing a target. They pursue with abandon and fight to the death. Unfortunately for most inexperienced humanoids to the end is usually in favor of the Tyrannosaurus.

Loners

Tyrannosaurus is usually a solitary hunter. They do not need allies or protection, often being the top carnivore in their territory. They hold their lands for many miles, and border disputes can be vicious as the instinct to keep a plentiful amount of food is very significant.

Male and Female Behavior

Females are stationary in their established territories through adulthood unless supplanted by a rival or catastrophe. They prowl in search of food and to protect their borders. Overlapping can occur, but only by coincidence as the territories are so vast that rivals may not encounter each other for a very long time.

Males are nomadic by nature in comparison. They hunt on the go and sleep where they can. Smaller than females but not by much and more brightly colored, especially their heads, indicate them as male to any potential mate. Males roam the lands looking for females for which to procreate. If a female is receptive, she will allow a male’s advances into her territory; if not, she’ll chase him off with a frightening display of aggression.

Courtship and Reproduction

Males gingerly approach a receptive female emitting low grating hums and growls. Receptive is a kind word to a female for if unbothered will simply accept his presence, almost ignoring him. He will then mate with her when she crouches down, and he’s close enough.

During many months the male will benefit from the territory as they continue to mate until eggs mature. He will then hunt the region and share spoils with the female as she guards the eggs. Once the eggs hatch, the male simply leaves to find another territory.

Life Cycle

A clutch of T-rex can be between 2 and 4 eggs; usually, only 2 viable eggs. Young are raised to adulthood in a short 3 years by their mother. At this time, she chases them away from her territory, and she resumes life as if nothing had occurred. During the time of raising them, they will hunt together and herd prey into each other. Mothers will usually be waiting for an ambush while the younger playful children chase prey with abandon to their mother’s position.

T-Rex can live up to 30 years and producing children every 5 or so. It’s unfortunate that of a clutch, usually, only 1 will survive to adulthood, not a guarantee. Without their full strength, they enjoy as an adult prey are more challenging to catch, and they are less able to fight dangers. T-Rex populations rarely explode and naturally keep at a constant rate in habitat for these reasons. They are susceptible to decline more than other apex predators of an environment, unfortunately.

Anti-social Super Predators

T-Rex are pure predators that eat when hungry and ignore animals when not. They like to make themselves ever-present to herds of animals just on the horizon making animals lull into complacency in their presence. They regard most living creatures when hungry as food, even more, significant than themselves. If they are not hungry and not being provoked, they are as docile as a contented house cat. T-Rex are unused to being challenged for dominance by other creatures and treat them all the same, food when hungry and background when not.

Battle Tactics

As more than capable fighters of more massive creatures, they favor bludgeoning with their tales to knock foes off balance and go for a devastating kill by tearing out enormous swaths of flesh. Cocky unaware dragons have been decapitated, underestimating a hungry Rex. When fighting smaller creatures, they sweep with their tails and snatch up prone victims in their jaws devouring them. When they fight, they are very vocal and loud. Their roars rival that of any dragons, and they will do so with every opportunity. Constant roaring seems to be a defense mechanism. They make as much noise as possible in an attempt to intimidate an attacker into running. If they run a T-Rex will catch them.

When attacked or fighting for reasons outside of food, they still eat their foe, which is probably a sign of dominance. They will not devour the opponent but will eat things like the head arms and legs stripping weapons and other perceived valued appendages away—odd behavior for creatures with little intelligence outside of battle.

Tyrannosaurus Majoras

Tyrannosaurus Majoras is the T-Rex described above. They range from dark greens and browns to soft yellows in color. They typically look much like the primary color of the vegetation in the fields for better sneaking up on prey. They prefer plains and hills with small outlooks of trees. The male’s heads will appear a softer blue in contrast to the rest of the body.

Tyrannosaurus Sauronious

Sauronious is a dangerous variant of T-Rex that inhabit more tropical regions of the world. They are never docile as they never cease in hunger. They roam the tropics stripping prey as they go. These variants typically run in mated pairs as both sexes are always on the hunt for food. They are bright yellows with purple or green accents and can roar so profoundly it will concuss foe and prey to the ground. The males are still slightly smaller but bear no significant markers. Their roars are far more powerful and cause physical harm, although not much information exists, as survivors are non-existent.

Tyrannosaurus Diabolis

Tyrannosaurus Diabolisis arguable the most bizarre variant of T-Rex. They are red and black in scale color and have outright immunity to fire. Living and thriving in extreme heat and volcanoes Diabolis are extremophiles. They enjoy meat but sustain mostly on rocks and lava. They seem to regurgitate fire in wads of a flaming pitch at prey preferring charred meat. They occasionally run across Sauronious, and devastating battles occur. They live together in closer colonies of up to 10 members sustaining their numbers with young. They only live in areas around or in volcanic activity.

Tyrannosaurus Freezanis

This Tyrannosaurus type is by far the rarest. They’ve developed their scales into thick down like feather coats keeping them warm in polar climates. Besides their black skin and white layers of fur, they are closest to Majoris in lifestyle aside from the environment. In the summer, they do shed their feathers to reveal their shining obsidian scales, but as those days of slight heat are short, they soon sprout new coats of ivory feathers.
