This is Tyrannosaurus Rex: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/tyrannosaurus-rex --Merlin wszech (talk) 06:03, November 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hmm, anatomically the image is clearly of an allossaurus: the size of the forelimbs, number of fingers and the crests above the eyes are pretty characteristic (incidentally, the crests also indicate that this is no accident). Plus, on p.79 of the Monster Manual, this image appears right on top of the allosaurus stat block (see for example the position of the plesiosaurus picture on the next page). If a picture appears too far away from its respective stat block (see the Appendix A, for an example), it always has a caption indicating which monster it refers to. Does D&D Beyond have a tool for reporting mistakes on their part? ;-) -- Sirwhiteout (talk) 14:48, November 6, 2017 (UTC)

I don't know. In Dragon Magazine #318 it was Gigantosaurus :P--Merlin wszech (talk) 23:34, November 6, 2017 (UTC)


 * In D&D, artwork has been repurposed for things they sorta look like since the very beginning. Since the initial art was of an allosaurus, for the FRW, this can only be an allosaurus. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:21, November 7, 2017 (UTC)

Orginally (in Dragon Magazine #318 it was giganotosaurus https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sfery/images/6/6c/Index-7.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20141120185943

Now it is listed on official page as tyrranosaurus rex, so I don't understand different choices--Merlin wszech (talk) 06:38, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
