## Basic Info

**Dossier**

**Wild:** A fairly large and powerful predator, the Tyrannosaurus rex hunts smaller and weaker species in its immediate environment.

**Domesticated:** Once tamed, it can be used as a mid-level mount or combatant in hunting and war

**Known Information:** Active mostly when hunting for food or defending its nest, a reasonable plan would be to give it a respectable distance and avoid battle when possible.

**Behavior**

The Tyrannosaurus roams its range hunting prey, attacking anything with either less Health and Melee Damage, or equal Health/Melee Damage and less Melee Damage/Health. When attacked by a survivor or other creature, it will fight back until it is defeated, killed, or knocked out.

**Prey**

This is a list of creatures the Tyrannosaurus will attack unprovoked, though it will still kill and eat any other opponent it manages to overcome. Species higher in the list are preferentially attacked over species lower in the list. It is a WIP.

**Appearance**

The Tyrannosaurus is a large theropod with two fingers on each hand, and three toes plus a dewclaw on each foot. It reaches 46 feet in length, 14 feet tall, and weighs approximately 17.71 US tons.

**Combat**

General

The Tyrannosaurus is a large and powerful creature, and should be ignored until one is strong enough to handle it.

Strategy

Attack it with a combination of weapon and Armor that is capable of defeating it. Be mindful of other predators in the area that could complicate matters.

Dangers

The Tyrannosaurus has a respectable amount of combat power, and should not be underestimated. Human survivors should not engage it directly until Level 12, at which point they can kill it with three pieces of Cloth Armor and their fists. However, Tyrannosaurs are still capable of inflicting significant damage on survivors, and the areas they inhabit also contain several larger and deadlier creatures. In addition, they are surprisingly quick for their size, able to outspeed the fastest of human survivors.

Weakness

The Tyrannosaurus' type is a mid-level type in the game, and most of its prey are much smaller than it. Thus, multiple different creatures approaching it in size could be used to fight it successfully. In addition, it cannot see survivors and creatures that are standing still, though this can only prevent but not break aggro.

Smuggler's Pass

**Utility**

Hunter- Like all large carnivorous creatures, the Tyrannosaurus can be used to hunt prey, as long as one is mindful of the strength of the creatures. This is an easy way to keep the dinosaur fed while also gaining additional benefits such as XP and resources.

War- The Tyrannosaurus can be used as a mount in PVP, able to hold 5 different Human survivors on its back at once, and also can be used as a subordinate or assist species in battles involving larger and stronger species. A large pack could potentially hold down even much larger creatures, though MUTOs must be avoided due to their EMP attack.

Pack Mule- While it has a limit, the Tyrannosaurus can hold up to 383 Metal without becoming encumbered, making it a possible option for transporting resources

Travel- Its high health limits the amount of creatures that will attack it unprovoked, especially outside of its native range. Most creatures that will attack it are also easy to spot from a distance, making it easy to avoid and making the Tyrannosaurus a viable option for traveling long distances.

Base Defense- The Tyrannosaurus' decent combative power makes it a good option for defending bases from attack, as long as the opponent doesn't have creatures of much greater strength.

**Can Ride**

Allosaurus

Tyrannosaurus

Diplodocus

**Notes**

This species of Tyrannosaurus is the famous T. rex, which is the real world type, and possibly only species, of Tyrannosaurus. The game does, however, have several fictional species with separate IDs.

It cannot see stationary creatures. Idle animations will not break this weakness, but hovering in midair on a flyer and moving in any other way, such as turning the camera to look in another direction will allow it to see you. In addition, this weakness can only prevent a Tyrannosaurus from aggroing onto you, not break aggro if it is already aggressive

Despite its Temperament being Aggressive, it does not attack any survivor species larger than 27 inches except for Vivochickens, Healers, Archers, Goblins, and Barbarians.

The real Tyrannosaurus would be much slower than the Tyrannosaurs in the game,

While a Level 1 Tyrannosaurus can withstand 1 second of fire from an Assault Rifle, a max (level 450) Tyrannosaurus with a saddle can withstand 57 hits from Fighter Jet Missiles.

There are a maximum of 38 Tyrannosaurus on the map at any one time, 10 in the Eastern Plains, 10 on Dead Island, 1 in the Southern Islets, 5 on Grand Peak, 3 in Deep Island, 8 in The Maw (with two sub-populations of 3 in the Eastern Wetlands and 5 on the Western Coastal), and 1 in Smuggler's Pass. If any are tamed, new ones will not spawn until a tamed one dies.
