Rex Owen

Rex Owen, also known as Rex Ancient, is one of the main characters from the Dinosaur King series.
== Charactah Account ==
Max's best friend. Rex was found as an infant by paleontologist Dr. Owen in an egg-like container within a dinosaur exhibit in New York. Rex is now 12 and has been left with Max and his family while his father goes searching for fossils with Dr. Owen being a family friend of the Taylor family. It is revealed in one episode that Rex was left at Max's house because his father wanted him to be near a real family.
Rex is the quiet one and is the good-hearted member of the group, with a mysterious past that he occasionally thinks about, he is also very smart for his age. He was adopted by paleontologist Dr. Owen, Dr. Taylor's friend. He had been born in the Mesozoic Era to Dr. Ancient and Dr. Cretacia during their expedition on the Backlander. He has a crush on Zoe Drake. He has fought with Max on several occasions, much to Zoe's frustration. Rex's personality is shown to be quite cautious and serious, it comes with this personality that usually conflicts with Max's personality in most cases, and has sometimes gotten him into terrible situations along their adventures.
Rex is also shown to be quite exaggerated and harsh amongst the other characters over the destruction of his things (e.g. a trilobite fossil and a dinosaur book), which in turn usually ends to the point where Rex refuses to talk anyone (namely Max). But when seeing the errors of his ways or if his comrades are in danger Rex eventually puts differences aside to help aid his friends. In general, Rex is quiet, smart, determined, irritable, cautious, good-hearted and dinosaur-loving.

== Trivia ==
* Rex is the first member of the D-Team to lose a battle, specifically against Terry (not counting Chomp collapsing of exhaustion after winning his first battle).
* Rex is the only character with a given birthday, which is on June 10. His 12th (adoptive) birthday was on Sunday June 10, 2007, the day its respective episode first aired in Japan.
* In Kyoryu-King.com's 4komas, Rex is occasionally shown with a form of anthropomorphism as a half human, half Carnotaurus person. In this state, he can use Wind Moves (e.g. comics 29 and 87).
* This character is very ironic, as his name is Rex, but his dinosaur is a Carnotaurus instead of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
* He is one of the few characters to keep their original name in the dub, as his name is already English. Ace also kept his original name in the dub. Other characters are Spartacus, and Aki Taylor (Max's mother) kept her first name the same, although her last name changed.
* Although his real name is Rex Ancient, the Japanese website keeps his name as Rex Owen, which may mean that Rex chose not to adopt his real family name, or that the website simply didn't get updated.
* Like Max, Rex is hinted to have had a crush on Zoe. Also, like Max, he later developed one on Zahrah during their mission to find the Red Cosmos Stone. He explains to Max that she makes his insides tangled up, and becomes very jealous when she is with Aladdin when he promises to protect her.
* Rex was born in the Mesozoic Era, but due to time travel, he never lived through the intervening years, and so this fact does not affect his age.
