A tyrannosaurus rex was a carnivorous species of dinosaur.[1][4]
Contents
Description[edit | edit source]
Tyrannosauruses were enormous predators, with large heads that measured 6 feet (1.8 meters) long with teeth that were 3 to 6 feet (0.91 to 1.8 meters) in length.[4] Despite their enormous size, they were known to be fast runners.[1][4]
Behavior[edit | edit source]
Tyrannosaurs were not greatly intelligent and their savage nature could occasionally lead them to doing self-destructive acts, such as swallowing the horned head of a triceratops whole.[4]
History[edit | edit source]
In the early-14th century DR, a tyrannosaur devoured the adventuring companions of Elijah Moonspeak.[5]
During the Time of Troubles of 1358 DR, the deity Ubtao stalked the jungles of Chult in the form of a tyrannosaur and battled the snake god Sseth.[6]
Reputation[edit | edit source]
Among those who knew of dinosaurs, tyrannosaurs were considered to be some of the most fearsome and dreadful of carnivorous dinosaurs.[4]
Ecology[edit | edit source]
Diet[edit | edit source]
Tyrannosaurs were a carnivorous species that hunted any creature they considered edible, and were terrors to all other creatures in their territory.[1][4] If prey was scarce, a tyrannosaurus could survive on carrion and smaller creatures.[1]
Habitats[edit | edit source]
Tyrannosaurs were primarily known to inhabit the jungles of Chult.[5]
Beyond the Prime Material plane, some could be found in the Forbidden Plateau.[7]
Usages[edit | edit source]
The fangs of these creatures were highly valued by collectors outside of Chult.[8]
Notable tyrannosaurs[edit | edit source]
- Big Honker, a racing dinosaur from Port Nyanzaru.[9]
- Scarback, another racing dinosaur from the same city.[9]
- The King of Feathers, the powerful tyrannosaurus that dwelled within the ruined city of Omu.[10]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
The deity Ubtao's avatar form was that of an enormous tyrannosaurus rex, over twice its normal size. And as dinosaurs, tyrannosaurs were believed to be among the Children of Ubtao.[6]
