Big Honker was a young racing tyrannosaurus rex in Port Nyanzaru in Chult in the late 15th century DR.[1]

Honkers make ye jingles.

History[]

As of the start of the death curse,[note 1] Big Honker was a crowd pleaser and a favorite to win in the dinosaur races. Bookies gave it 7:1 odds of winning.[1] Big Honker was present at the races on the day of the inaugural Na N'buso's Haka.[3]

Appendix[]

Notes[]

  1. Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Tomb of Annihilation, however it is understood to take place sometime between 1488 DR and 1492 DR. The earlier date is based on the fact that Port Nyanzaru is stated to have gained independence from Amn nine years prior to the start of the adventure (p 15), which would be 1488 DR at the earliest given the city was firmly under Amnian control as of 1479 DR (as described in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, p 102). The later date is based on the presence of Volothamp Geddarm, who is promoting the in-universe Volo's Guide to Monsters during the adventure (p 24) but is stated to have concluded his promotional tour and begun a new book as of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist (see pp 5, 24), which is understood to be set in 1492 DR. Unless a canon source states otherwise, this wiki will use this range for events related to this sourcebook. The adventure is also assumed to take place concurrently with or slightly after the events of Storm King's Thunder based on the subplot involving frost giants in the service of Jarl Storvald (p 13).
