Great Horned One the Carnotaurus

The Carnotaurus (a.k.a. Great Horned One) is the dinosaur antagonist-turned-supoorting anti-heroine in the 2008 animated film, Turok: Son of Stone.
==Appearance==
Great Horned One is an adult Carnotaurus with dark gray skin, a pair of short horns on her rather stubby head, and somewhat useless short arms. Her overall description, along with her size, somewhat resembles a T-Rex.
==Personality==
Though vicious and threatening on the first glance, Great Horned One is basically not so different with animal predators who driven by the need to hunt and kill for food to survive, which is true to Nashoba's description of her as a beast who kills because that's what she made for. Even so, the later part of the film showed that the Carnotaurus is more than a mere instinctive animal; she is caring and protective of her two broods, keeping them well-fed and perhaps the reason why Cave Dwellers who lived in a cave near their nest dared not to attack them despite outnumbering them. She also developed a begrudging respect towards Turok who briefly tamed her in a bid to save Cliff People from Chicak and his army of Cave Dwellers despite her initial anger thus explained why she decided to go after their demoralized common enemies after a moment of consideration.
==Role in the Storyline==
===Encounter With Turok and co.===
The Great Horned One's first onscreen appearance was when she caused a herd of Ankylosauruses to run before setting her sight upon Chichak and Catori whom she perceived as easy preys. But then Turok and Andar come to their rescue where the ensuing fight forced Chichak to retreat, all while escaping the Carnotaurus’ grasp. Watching them eacaping at the waterfall, she loses her interest and hunts somewhere else.
===Feeding Her Brood===
Sometime later, Great Horned One managed to catch a wild boar and feeds them to her young. While making her leave for her own meals, she was oblivious to Turok's presence when he stumbled upon her nest as he tracks down Cave Dwellers, let alone noticing him as they come close to croos-paths near Cave Dwellers' hideout (since its inhabitants knocked Turok out before it happens).
==="From Blood Follows Blood"===
Knowing that they need more help they can get to save Cliff People from Chichak and his Cave Dweller minions, Turok devised a plan to make it a fair fight. Using his blood, the unsuspecting Great Horned One comes for him only for Turok subdue her like a horse with a spear tied with a rope as reins, taming the Carnotaurus. Though not pleased with this, she nevertheless aid the humans rescuing their people.
As Turok and Chichak's duel concluded with the latter got decapitated by the former, Great Horned One stomps Chichak's severed head to confront Turok in his place. Silence rippled among both sides with lighting flashes on the background. For quite sometime the unlikely allies stared on each other as if they are communicating, before the Carnotaurus opted to chase away the fleeing Cave Dwellers.
It's unknown what happened to the Carnotaurus afterwards, but considering Cave Dwellers greatly feared her and worse, have reduced into broken people following the loss of their leader, it can be inferred that Great Horned One had slaughtered at least scores of them and spared the rest before they could fight back.
