Rex

The Rex are a now extinct species of sapients from the 'Halloy' Era of Arthe's history. The Rex was a repto-mammalian species notable for it's lower body being far larger then it's upper body making for what to some is a funny towering shape. Children tend to be rather fascinated by the idea that something with such a tiny head and arms compared to it's large towering body lived. As only fossilized bones remain the outward appearance of the Rex is largely one of speculation with depictions shifting depending on current evidence. In fiction the Rex are depicted as 'hangry' 'tyrannical' beings who get easily offended by mention of their tiny upper body. They are typically depicted as using their large feet to squash prey or trample opposing armies while they carry out conquest upon ancient plains. Evidence of sentience is few but examination of the skull and it's comparison to modern species is enough to suspect that it was in fact a sentient species as often depicted. What evidence does exist are disputed artifacts that, if ever verified would indicate the Rex had developed cooking implements. Opposition largely comes in debates regarding how the species could have even crafted such with some supporters of the virility of the artifacts proposing that the Rex may have enslaved other species of the Halloy Era. The Rex remains a popular subject in fiction though it's height in being explored was the 1990s. The Rex is currently featured in a series of graphic novels that imagines the Rex and others in the modern day. It's also appeared in a recent addition to a long running film series that started in the 1990s.
==Notes==
The Rex and the Lamiaoids existed in the same era with the Lamiaoids being an elder species. These ancient Lamiaoids are notable for possessing legs- a trait modern Lamiaoids lack. This specific find is considered vital to understanding the origin of the Lamiaoid species group.
