List of creatures

This list documents all the **creatures** and other prehistoric animals in the show.

## Ankylosaurus

A herd of *Ankylosaurus* appeared in the "Slave of the Scorpion" pitch animatic but did not appear in the episode itself.

## Anzu

A giant bird-like dinosaur that appears briefly in "Slave of the Scorpion". The *Anzu* has the general appearance of its kind, bird-like with long ostrich-esque legs, a crest on top of its head, and a feathered body. The *Anzu* in this episode also appears to feature rooster-like wattles that hang near the jaw, and also appears with purple quills on its neck. Its skull shape was similar to that of *Citipati*, a nearly human-sized Oviraptorid.

The *Anzu* first appeared as it bursted out of the bushes, fleeing from Fang. The Oviraptorid proves too fast for Fang, and while Spear tries to whack the *Anzu* down with his spear, he misses, only to bring Fang down to the ground. Spear then flings his spear at it, only to miss the *Anzu* again. However, before it could flee, Mira shoots the dinosaur down with her bow and arrow, killing it. The *Anzu* gets cooked and eaten afterwards.

It is referred to as a "chicken-type thing" and "chicken" in the "Slave of the Scorpion" pitch animatic.

## Ape-men

*Main articles: Ape-men, Ape Shaman, and Krog*

A race of humanoid primates. They had their own society led by a shaman-like leader. Most members of this species were short in stature with limber features and white-colored fur. Some exceptional individuals such as the tribe's warriors appeared to be several feet tall or possible ten feet tall like Gigantopithecus in Real Life with muscular, gorilla-like features such as conical heads and dark fur and skin.

It is notable that they are only beings in Spear's portion of the world (the Vikings came from across the sea) to possess an outright civilization, as they display organized leadership, as seen by the presence of the hooded figure, social gatherings , in the form of the ritual tournament, and a knowledge of logistics, showcased by the abduction of creatures like Spear and Fang for said ritual, as well as architectural masonry, with the colosseum they built, and even some degree of rudimentary, if more occult, science, (as seen by the level of chemical expertise that they are implied to have to manufacture their enhancement liquid.) The anthropoids were apparently capable of producing tools and primitive clothing, which points to the sociocultural and technological sophistication of their civilization, at least in comparison to the other tribes of Spear and Fang's lands. They used a large ceramic saucer-plate for housing their enhancement liquid, as well as water-skins for carrying water. Their shaman wore animal pelts as ceremonial coverings, as well as a bone-necklace. One of their warriors also wore a necklace, this one being comprised out of teeth.

After Spear and Fang are captured, a tournament is held in which five of the ape-men warriors fight to determine which one will have the honor of killing them. The winner drinks a drop of a black liquid that makes him stronger. The champion almost beat Fang to death, but Spear breaks free and drinks the black liquid himself, causing him to transform into a behemoth, go berserk and kill every ape-man in the arena. ("Rage of the Ape-Men")

The apemen resemble the biped ape-like hominids, Australopithecines, which includes the well-known *Australopithecus* and the larger cousin *Paranthropus*. They are considered to be the ancestors / cousins of the *Homo* species like *Homo neanderthalensis* and *Homo sapiens*.

### Monkey-men

*Main article: Monkey-men*
Another species of humanoid primates. Similar to the Ape-men, the Monkey-men tribe possess lean bodies that allow them enhanced agility and are covered in white fur. However, there are some notable differences, such as their bright blue eyes and fang-like teeth. The Monkey-men tribe were shown to wield weapons, unlike the Ape-men. Some of them appeared to wield giant axes and spears. There also seemed to be some individuality within the species, as many individuals varied in height and in the amount of hair on their bodies. These features especially appear on their heads, and it is noteworthy that one of the Monkey-men had no hair on top of its head. Despite their ability to wield weapons and their overwhelming numbers, most of them are quickly defeated by Spear and Fang after a short battle, though they succeeded in kidnapping Mira. Shortly after running off, however, the entire monkey-men horde is shot down by arrows in an ambush from Mira's slavers. ("Slave of the Scorpion")

They are referred to as "monkey-men-type dudes" in the Pitch Animatic for "Slave of the Scorpion". They resemble *Homo habilis*, the first humans with monkey-like features.

## Arsinoitherium

*Arsinoitherium* is a large mammal distinguishable by its two, thick and parallel horns on its snout. It could be easily mistaken for some kind of prehistoric rhinoceros, although it is not related. An *Arsinoitherium* was chased and briefly fought over by Fang and another theropod by tug-of-war, before the two ended up sharing the kill. ("Shadow of Fate")

## Bear

A giant species of bear appears in "Dawn of Man" and "The Red Mist", these bears' size mirror that of the extinct genus *Arctotherium* or Cave Bears, rivaling that of a *T. rex* and are large enough to be rided by humans. These bears are domesticated by the Vikings as mounts for battle.

## Bison latifrons

Long horned bison are large bovids that roamed the mountainside grasslands near the Viking village. They congregate in large herds of possibly a hundred or so individuals. Spear sees murals of bison in the cave he and Fang rest in. ("Dawn of Man")

## Boars

### Modern boar

A boar was seen as a corpse being carried by an ape-like caveman. ("Terror Under the Blood Moon") The animal is referred to as a "boar" in the "Terror Under the Blood Moon" pitch animatic.

### Prehistoric Boar

Prehistoric boars are prey animals that are commonly hunted by Spear and Fang. Unlike regular boars, prehistoric boars resemble warthogs (possibly *Metridiochoerus*). They're referred to as "Prehistoric Boar" in the "River of Snakes" pitch animatic. Spear and Fang hunt them (independently) in "River of Snakes".

## Bug

### Regular bug

A green bug that looked like a trilobite was found where Spear failed to get his hunt, then he grabs it and eats it. ("River of Snakes")

### Armoured bugs

A cave-dwelling, flesh-eating arthropod species resembling the Euthycarcinoidea of the Cambrian-Triassic era appeared in "Scent of Prey". They feed on anything that stays in their caves. They have yellow-colored shells and blue bodies with mouths full of razor-sharp teeth. They come in two types distinguished by size: the small ones are about the size of a hissing cockroach while the large ones are slightly different than the smaller ones; being the size of a horseshoe crab, their shells are tougher, difficult to cut, and have spikes that can cut skin.

The armored bugs attacked Spear and Fang while they were resting in their cave to hide from the Wild Dogs. Spear was briefly stymied by their hard shells, but quickly figured out how to flip them over and stab their vulnerable undersides. After killing all of the bugs, he roasted some over a fire to feed himself and Fang; later he used two of the large ones' bodies as makeshift brass knuckles to take on the wild dog pack.

They are referred to as "primordial bugs" in the "Scent of Prey" pitch animatic.

## Camel

Several camel appeared when they were drinking at an oasis. They were scared off by Fang's Offspring as they approached them. Unfortunately, one of them was killed when the demonic Viking Chieftain burns it to death. ("Echoes of Eternity")

## Cattle

Several cattle were seen during some of Ima's invasions in numerous kingdoms. They are mostly seen pulling carts of stolen treasures or resting in their pens along with the other livestock in the lower floors of the queen's warship. ("The Colossaeus, Part II")

## Cavemen

*Main articles: Spear, Spear's Mate, Spear's Son, Spear's Daughter, Spear's Father, and Red-haired Caveman*

A species of primordial humans, they are easily distinguishable from modern humans due to their archaic, ape-like appearance. They are most likely based on *Homo neanderthalensis*. The show's protagonist, Spear, including his mate, children, his childhood tribe, and his father are members of this species. While males are very stocky and muscular, the females are smaller and more slender in physique. Their development level is not very advanced, and they do not have a complex language, preferring to communicate through grunting, shouting, and gesturing. They dominate the manufacture of stone weapons and tools, can craft clothing from animal skins and start fires to cook meat if they wish. Regardless of their stunted technological advances, their general intelligence level is comparable to that of any modern human being. Despite this, they sometimes show animalistic and simian behaviors such as sometimes walking on all fours, consuming raw meat, screaming and stomping the ground to intimidate predators, or showing their teeth as a sign of aggressiveness.

They are common prey for many large predators, as we see through Spear and his family being attacked by horned T. rex and other animals. ("Spear and Fang")

Another red-haired caveman can be seen tied to megaliths over a bonfire of green flames as a sacrifice in the witch's ritual in order to create a baby witch. ("Coven of the Damned")

SpearSpear's mate, son and daughterSpear's Tribe
### Monkey-looking cavemen

*Main article: Monkey-looking cavemen*
Similar to the cavemen, but shorter in height and slightly less evolved, while notably having discolored skin and white hair. Their arms are slightly longer in proportion to their legs, allowing them to knuckle-walk. They use a system of underground caves to hide from predators, namely the Man Bats. Due to being constantly preyed upon by the bats and being forced to live underground, many members of this species appeared to be horribly emaciated, sickly, and pale. ("Terror Under the Blood Moon")

They are referred to as "ancient monkey-looking cavemen" in the "Terror Under the Blood Moon" pitch animatic.

They somewhat resemble the species *Homo erectus*, a species of human which predated both Neanderthals (*Homo neanderthalensis*) and modern Humans (*Homo sapiens*).

### Witches

*Main article: Coven*
An all-female race of hag-like humanoids of vague origins, possibly being deformed members of the regular cavemen species. Witches have the capacity to cast magic, from mind-control to shapeshifting, to pausing time. Witches live together in a coven led by a queen witch. This coven performs a nightly ritual on helpless cavemen wherein the leader drains the life out of their victim. After the sacrifice of the cavemen, the leader gestates an infant girl she gives to her followers. It is through this unique method of procreation that the witches are able to raise daughters as future members of the coven. ("Coven of the Damned")

The Head Witch
## Chalicothere

A ruminant creature that was in the "Slave of the Scorpion" animatic and deleted scene. A scene dedicated to the creature was planned for the episode, but ultimately got deleted. In the animatic, while Spear, Fang, and Mira walk through the forest, Spear sees footprints of an animal and dung, which he smells. After they find the Chalicothere, it bursts out of the bushes, with Spear throwing his spear at it, but misses. Fang then bursts out of the other bush to slam it to the ground, breaking the Chalicothere's neck and killing it. It then gets eaten.

In the delete scene, it is revealed that the color of the chalicothere resembles that of *Ancylotherium* (a chalicothere endemic to Europe, Asia, and Africa) from the fourth *Walking with Beasts* episode "Next of Kin".

It is referred to as a "weird prehistoric mammal" in the animatic.

## Chicken

A chicken is briefly seen in a flashback The Colossaeus, Part III.

## Corythosaurus

*Corythosaurus* ("Helmet Lizard") is a large hadrosaur from North America during the Late Cretaceous.

Originally, the Infected Parasaurolophus was meant to be a *Corythosaurus* in the pitch animatic, however it was changed to a Parasaurolophus during animation.

## Dolphin

A pod of dolphins appears in "The Colossaeus, Part I" swimming ahead of the Egyptian Queen's ship.

## Dragonfly

A giant dragonfly, similar to *Meganeura*, appears in both "Rage of the Ape-Men" and "Slave of the Scorpion".

## Elephant

Elephants appear in *The Colossaeus, Part I* where they are used by the Babylonians to fight against the Egyptians, Spear and Fang. Probably in size they're similar to the extinct genus *Palaeoloxodon*.

## Elk

An animal that appeared as one of Spear's shadow puppets. ("River of Snakes")

It is referred to as an "Elk" in the "River of Snakes" pitch animatic.

In the pitch animatic for "Terror Under the Blood Moon," an elk was said to be one of the corpses in the lair of the bats and spider.

### Megaloceros

Also known as the Irish Elk, the *Megaloceros* was one of the animal species that roamed the grasslands near the Viking village. They are large cervids with large and ostentatious antlers. It was also one of the animals seen as paintings by Spear in the cave he and Fang were sheltering in. They are seen being hunted by tribes of humans in Spear's vision of the prairie's past. ("Dawn of Man")

## Fish

A blue-scaled fish was frequently found in the river near Spear's old home. Both Spear and Fang would regularly catch them to feed themselves and their families. ("Spear and Fang")

Various kinds of fish were also seen in the oasis Spear and Fang found in "Rage of the Ape-Men". They seemed to lack natural predators; they were completely unafraid of Spear, to the point where they would literally swim right into his hand.

A catfish is briefly seen in "The Night Feeder".

The same fish from "Rage of the Ape-Men" were seen in "Slave of the Scorpion".

A school of *Potanichthys* and a few dolphinfish-like Placodermi appear in the ocean from "Sea of Despair".

## Horse

Horses are seen briefly pulling the englishmen carriage in "The Primal Theory". White horses were also seen pulling Ima's chariot in The Colossaeus, Part II.

### Quagga

Zebra-like creatures, they were first seen in Kamau's flashback in "The Colossaeus, Part III".

## Humans

*Main articles: Mira's tribe, Vikings, Celtic Tribe, Egyptians, Babylonians, and Kamau's tribe*
Humans are close relatives to cavemen and the numerous ape-men species seen in the show, but are less primate-like and are evolved more for bipedalism. They are taller, leaner, with noticeably longer legs and generally hairless bodies. They are more intellectually and socially developed to the point that they have their own languages, articles of clothing, and civilizations, some of whom bear a symbol with religious significance. In the world of *Primal*, these human societies are based on real-world civilizations and coexist in spite of being of different eras in real life. There have been several groups of human cultures seen thus far.

The civilization Mira comes from is reminiscent of Aboriginal society and worship the moon. Another group consists of that are sea-faring conquerors with ties to Scandinavian-Viking culture. This group has a scorpion as their symbol, and capture individuals like the aforementioned tribe, then brand them with a scorpion mark as their slaves. A third group of humans, the Celtic Tribe, appear to have reached a Bronze-age level of technology and use the sun as their symbol. Operating out of a village constructed of stone blocks and hay, these humans mainly wield stone weapons, make use of various herbs as medicine, paint their warriors in blue war-paint, and have a complex spoken language. There is a sea nomadic civilization based on the Egyptians and a different civilization based on the Babylonians, which has with much more developed arts, technology, and society.

Several more civilizations appear, based on Chinese, Early Slavs, Romans, Philistines, and Hindus. Except for the Philistines, they are all invaded by the Egyptian group. An army of Philistines attempted to raid their warship, but they were defeated and soon after, their king was captured, and their own ship was destroyed.

There is or was some remnant of more ancient communities of hunter-gatherers with a more paleolithic lifestyle. They left behind their cave paintings and small settlements for an undetermined about of time. It is implied that they were eradicated or displaced by more advanced civilizations such as the Vikings, who settled near their old outpost, possibly by enslaving these people, due to the general destruction seen in the outpost and some precious objects left behind such as a wooden mammoth toy.

A human named Mira was a captive of the scorpion humans before she escaped by running overboard on one of their ships. She briefly runs into the company of Spear and Fang, whom she manages to befriend. However, the slavers caught up to their trail and recapture her. ("Slave of the Scorpion") She and her tribe were rescued by Spear and Fang, although in the process of escorting them to safety, the Viking people rallied in defense against the duo. Eventually, the two are pushed to their limits and ultimately slaughter the entire Viking tribe, leaving only two survivors, The Chieftain and Eldar, who were outside the village during the massacre. ("Dawn of Man", "The Red Mist")

The episode "The Primal Theory" shows humans in the year 1890, precisely in England. The English people do not differ in any way from their counterparts from the real world. Although, it is unclear if the setting is in the timeline of *Primal*.

## Jellyfish

Two types of jellyfish are seen briefly at night. ("Sea of Despair")

Magenta JellyfishGreen-Yellow Jellyfishes
## Kulindadromeus

Small, fluffy Ornithischian dinosaurs that briefly appear in "Slave of the Scorpion". These dinosaurs have a striking red color scheme that fade to an orange color on the tail. Their small size and presence of fluff suggested they were *Kulindadromeus*, which was confirmed by David Krentz.

They are seen drinking from a river before fleeing from the presence of Spear, Fang, and Mira.

## Leopard

A leopard cub first appeared in "The Colossaeus, Part I" when it was the Babylonian King's pet. But after the Egyptian Queen invaded his kingdom, she took the cub, ordered her guards to execute the king, and raised it into a fully grown leopard.

## Liopleurodon

*Main article: Liopleurodon*
A giant sea creature that appears in "Slave of the Scorpion". It appears in the beginning of the episode. While chasing Mira off-screen, It emerges out of the water to ambush Spear and Fang, and engages in a brief scuttle with Fang underwater. It is then killed with a spear through the head.

It is referred to as a "Tylosaur" in the pitch animatic for the episode. Despite how Genndy dubs the creature, it highly resembles *Liopleurodon*, thanks to its features that applies to Pliosaurs, including its elongated snout, short tail, and size compared to Spear. This was confirmed by David Krentz, as the animal was intended to be a *Liopleurodon*.

## Man Bat

*Main article: Man Bats*
Dinosaur-sized predatory bats that acted as the minions of the mega spider, going out to hunt a variety of prey, including our protagonists, for the spider when a strange crimson moon rose above the sky. They are tricked by Spear and Fang into the tall grass after killing and escaping from the Mega spider. The flock of bats ended up being attacked by a herd of raptors, causing a large-scale fight between the predators and giving the protagonists the opportunity to flee at the end of the episode. ("Terror Under the Blood moon")

Their fur was crimson with a thick mane running down their spine, large green eyes with seemingly no pupils. Anatomically, they almost mimic a humanoid form and they posses sharp fangs, a short snout and big ears like those of a vampire bat. They have extreme strength despite their slender figure, being able to support Spear with their hind legs and back in mid-flight, as well as being able to lift Fang between just two individuals. The Raptor pack, monkey-like cavemen, and probably other creatures in the area take refuge quickly in the presence of the blood moon, which is why giant bats are suspected to be apex predators whose attacks are regular in the area.

## Marsupial

A flying phalanger-like mammal is seen gliding and served as an intermediary between Fang's and Spear's at the start of the episode. ("Shadow of Fate")

## Mega Crocodile

A massive crocodilian reminiscent of *Deinosuchus* or *Sarcosuchus* based on longer snout. It opportunistically stalked and attacked Spear during his fishing trip, likely drawn by the scent of his latest haul. ("Spear and Fang")

## Mega Shark

*Main article: Mega Shark*
A massive shark reminiscent of *Megalodon*, the largest species of shark to exist. It attempts to eat Fang whole and alive in one bite during a storm, but Spear impales it in the eye and scares it off. ("Sea of Despair")

## Night Feeder

*Main article: The Night Feeder (character)*
A monstrous dinosaur with claws similar to a *Therizinosaurus* and a long snout resembling a *Megaraptor* or a basal Spinosaurid like *Baryonyx* or *Suchomimus*. It kills its victims at night and has the ability to become virtually invisible. It was capable of moving extremely fast and tore apart prey so quickly that it looked like its victims had exploded each time it struck.

The creature was sensitive to light and therefore hunted only at night in a dark forest, hence its name. Once its weakness was discovered by Spear and Fang, they trapped it inside a circle of fire and then lit the dinosaur on fire, putting an end to the nocturnal predator. ("The Night Feeder")

The Night Feeder
## Owl

An owl watches Spear practicing the prayers Mira made to the moon before Spear scares it off. ("Dawn of Man")

## Parasaurolophus

*Main article: Infected Parasaurolophus*
*Parasaurolophus* ("Near Crested Lizard") is a large Herbivorous Hadrosaur reaching around 33 feet in length. They are well known for the distinct elongated head crest that is a part of the skull.

An individual infected by a mysterious Plague attacked a herd of *Argentinosaurus*. It bit a large adult on the leg before being flung against a tree, thus killing it. ("Plague of Madness")

## Prehistoric deer

There are several different kinds of herbivorous animals that are referred to as "Prehistoric deer" in pitch animatics for different episodes.

### Prehistoric fawn

One kind is a small spotted animal with three horns, two on the forehead, and one further back, that resembles the ossicones of Giraffes and *Procranioceras*. ("River of Snakes")

### Syndyoceras

Another kind is a much larger moose-sized animal with four horns (two on the forehead and two on the snout). This particular kind physically resembles *Syndyoceras*. ("A Cold Death")

## Prehistoric fly

A small flying insect. One individual gets caught and eaten by a larger praying mantis. ("The Night Feeder")

Interestingly, it can be seen how this fly has four legs instead of six, which is not the case with any real insect.

## Praying Mantis

A large, predatory insect. One individual is seen catching and feasting on a prehistoric fly on a tree branch while Spear and Fang camp below. ("The Night Feeder")

## Pterosaurs

Multiple species of pterosaurs appear commonly in the series, often referred to as "pterodactyls" in episode pitch animatics.

### Giant pterosaur

A green predatory pterosaur with an orange face and beak first appeared after detecting the scent of Spear. It has physical traits superficially resembling several species of unrelated pterosaurs, like *Quetzalcoatlus* due to its size. It has a *Pteranodon*-like crest with a red rooster-like comb attached, a long thin neck, and sharp teeth. The tip of the beak moves when it sniffs, possibly where the nostril is at. ("Spear and Fang")

Another pterosaur appeared in "Coven of the Damned", used as a mount for the Head Witch, which appears with completely green skin, green glowing eyes (due to being mind-controlled), and lacks the comb the other Pterosaur had in the first episode.

Both pterosaurs are referred to as a "Pterodactyl" in the "Spear and Fang" and "Coven of the Damned" pitch animatics.

### Pteranodon

Another kind of pterosaur, *Pteranodon*, appears in "Slave of the Scorpion". It has a yellow color scheme with purple wing membranes, and mostly resembles the Pterosaur from "Coven of the Damned".

### Tapejara

Another kind of smaller pterosaur, *Tapejara*, appears later in "Slave of the Scorpion". They appear with large, pronounced orange crests with red stripes on them with gray skin. These latter have a skull shape characteristic to the thalassodromedid *Tupuxuara*. One of them gets eaten by Fang.

### Ornithocheirus

Another kind of pterosaur, *Ornithocheirus*, appears in "Sea of Despair". They appear catching flying fish, while one of them was roaring at Fang, but then eaten by a Mega Shark. Unlike the other pterosaurs in the series thus far, they are depicted with a hairy coat of pycnofibers like those of real-life pterosaurs.

## Rabbit

An animal that appeared as one of Spear's shadow puppets. ("River of Snakes")

It is referred to as a "Bunny" in the "River of Snakes" pitch animatic.

## Raptor

*Main article: Raptors*
A species of large, featherless dromaeosaurs. Spear and Fang outrun a large pack of these at the beginning of "Terror Under the Blood Moon". They appear to have a fierce rivalry with the giant bats, quickly abandoning Spear and Fang after sensing the impending blood moon. The duo later exploits this by luring the bats back to the tall grass where the raptors lurk and letting them fight each other. They were red in color with black markings on their heads and tails.

They are referred to as "raptors" in the "Terror Under the Blood Moon" pitch animatic.

## Raven

Lula turns into a giant raven to fight against the Head Witch in her giant wolf form. ("Coven of the Damned")

A flock of regular ravens are seen flying to the corpses of the entire *Triceratops* herd after they're being slaughtered by the Night Feeder. ("The Night Feeder")

A flock of ravens are seen feeding on the corpses of the Babylonian soldiers after they were decimated by Spear, Fang, and Kamau on the Egyptian Queen's evil behalf. ("The Colossaeus, Part II")

## Sail back creature

A Dimetrodon-like creature from the Permian period that appeared in the "Spear and Fang" pitch animatic, but did not appear in episode itself.

## Sauropod

An animal that appeared as one of Spear's shadow puppets. ("River of Snakes")

This sauropod is referred to as a "*Brontosaurus*" in the "River of Snakes" pitch animatic.

### Argentinosaurus

*Main article: Infected Argentinosaurus*
*Argentinosaurus* is among the largest of dinosaurs. They're a part of the Titanosauridae group of sauropods. Looking vaguely similar to the likes of *Camarasaurus* and *Brachiosaurus*, the design in *Primal* is more akin to older restorations of *Argentinosaurus*.

A herd of *Argentinosaurus* appeared in "Plague of Madness", living peacefully in a forest grove near a ravine. One of them was bitten by an infected hadrosaur which caused it to become feral and brutally attack its own herd. After its slaughter, the sauropod then begins chasing Spear and Fang from the forest to a canyon, in which it falls into and lays unconscious for several hours.

The beast then awoke and began chasing the duo again through the canyon, until it was stopped by the narrow gorge before the volcanic geysers which Spear and Fang attempt to cross before turning back in fear.

The sauropod manages to free itself and charges at the duo but falls into one of the volcanic geysers, where it was burnt alive before disintegrating into ash. ("Plague of Madness")

## Seagull

Seagulls are briefly seen circling Spear being washed up on a beach in "Shadow of Fate".

## Small Theropod

A small, green, insectivorous theropod reminiscent of *Compsognathus* that briefly appears in "The Night Feeder".

It is referred to as "Cute Dinosaur" in the "Night Feeder" pitch animatic.

## Smilodon

Large, predatory felines, they are very distinguishable due to their large, exposed fangs. *Smilodons* are orange, with black stripes on their face and body. One individual was attacked and killed by the Night Feeder while it was out hunting for prey at night. Spear and Fang would later discover the *Smilodon's* mutilated and partially-eaten corpse the morning after. ("The Night Feeder") When Spear was younger, a pride of *Smilodons* attacked his tribe and killed his father while the latter was defending their home from the beasts. Spear soon slew all of them to avenge his father's death, thus earning him the role of leader among his people. ("Echoes of Eternity")

It is referred to as a "Sabertooth" in the "Night Feeder" pitch animatic.

In England in the year 1890, there is a stuffed *Smilodon* inside Lord Darlington's study room. ("The Primal Theory"

Charles next to the stuffed Smilodon
## Snake

Predatory reptiles that come in a wide range of sizes, some being no larger than a human leg and some big enough to ensnare a *Tyrannosaurus* like Fang. After getting caught in a flash flood, Spear and Fang end up in a river full of these creatures. They do not appear to be too venomous, despite their of them curved and pronounced fangs, as Fang was bitten by three and survived. ("River of Snakes")

In his fire form, the Chieftain turned into a snake while pursuing Spear and Fang. ("Echoes of Eternity")

### Mega Snake

*Main article: Mega Snake*
A gigantic individual snake reminiscent of *Titanoboa* that attacked Spear and Fang during a flash flood.

## Spider

Spiders are predatory arachnids known for their eight elongated limbs and ability to produce webbing. A regular spider is seen in Kamau's flashback. ("The Colossaeus, Part III")

### Mega Spider

*Main article: Mega Spider*
A giant spider that lived in the giant bats' lair. It appeared to have had a symbiotic relationship with the bats, who regularly brought it food to eat. Spear and Fang kill the spider, then use its webbing to escape the bats' cave. ("Terror Under the Blood Moon")

In a deleted scene from the "Terror Under the Blood Moon" pitch animatic, it is revealed that the spider "saves food" for the man bats and can make a hypnotizing humming sound to ease its live prey.

## Styracosaurus

A herd of Styracosaurus briefly appear in the first five seconds of the "Plague of Madness" pitch animatic, but did not appear in the episode itself. It is unknown why they got scrapped from the final product.

## Turtle

Ancient aquatic reptiles distinguished by their beaks for mouths and large shell around their bodies. Mira uses a turtle shell as a cooking pot in "Slave of the Scorpion". During the expedition at sea, Spear pursues a large sea turtle resembling an *Archelon*. The turtle tries to force Spear off its neck by diving a few times, until Spear makes to emerge where his and Fang's raft is and gets caught in Fang's jaws, which kills it. The duo feast on the carcass, then use the empty shell as shade from the scorching sun. ("Sea of Despair") A regular turtle with spines on its shell is seen with a prehistoric bird on the shores. ("The Colossaeus, Part I")

## Triceratops

*Triceratops* ("Three Horn Face") are well known for their three horns, large size, and plant-eating behavior.

A lifeless body appeared in the episode "Terror Under the Blood Moon" where Spear removed one of its horns from its frill in order to kill the Mega Spider.

A skull was used by Krog who wore it as a helmet during his fight with Fang. ("Rage of the Ape-Men")

### Five horned Triceratops

A herd of five-horned neon green ceratopsians that appeared in "The Night Feeder". These dinosaurs possessed three horns like the regular *Triceratops*, although their spiked frills and additional horns resembled other Ceratopsian species such as *Pachyrhinosaurus*, *Pentaceratops* and *Styracosaurus*. A predatory dinosaur known as the Night Feeder slaughtered an entire herd of them during a rampage through the dark forest at night.

## Tyrannosaurus rex

*Main articles: Fang, Fang's Offspring, and Red*
*Tyrannosaurus rex* (*Tyrant Lizard King*), T. Rex for short, is a carnivorous theropod dinosaur. An apex predator with a reptilian body, the Tyrannosaurus has a snout filled with sharp teeth, small arms, thick tails, and the body seems to have stripes.

There are subspecies of the *Tyrannosaurus* in the series, having differences in appearance and nature. One species is colored teal, with the stripes' colors blue. Some might have gray and green skin. From birth, some can have an oversized fang on the jaw. They seem to have a smaller body size than that of a real *Tyrannosaurus rex*. Another species or type of *Tyrannosaurus* similar to the teal species exists, but they show gray coloration with red heads that possess cranial crests, with a small row of spikes running down their necks. It is unclear whether these differences are due to sexual dimorphism, geographical variation, or both.

Fang makes her first appearance alongside her offspring, being attacked by a pack of horned Tyrannosaurs. The shared tragedy forms an emotional bond with Spear. ("Spear and Fang")

The ape-men that captured Spear and Fang for their blood sports kept the upper half of a Tyrannosaur skull in their arena for use as a helmet by their champions. Krog opted against wearing it once he was named champion, preferring a *Triceratops* skull helmet. ("Rage of the Ape-Men")

A male *Tyrannosaurus* named Red lived in a distant continent inhabited by human tribes. He bonds with Fang for a brief period before he is accidentally killed by her during a fight. ("Shadow of Fate")

It was soon revealed that Fang secretly mated with Red and laid a brand-new batch of eggs. ("Vidarr") But unfortunately, one of them was accidentally smashed by Kamau and two of them were taken hostage by an evil tyrant. ("The Colossaeus, Part I") They were soon hatched into two new hatchlings when Spear, Mira and Kamau's daughter were trying to escape the warship. However, when Fang tries to save her new children, the queen captures them along with Kamau's daughter and forces everyone to surrender for the sake of their young. ("The Colossaeus, Part II")

### Horned Tyrannosaurus

*Main articles: Tyrannosaurus pack and Alpha Tyrannosaurus*
A subspecies of colored red *T. rex* with black or maroon colored stripes and a horn each on their snouts. The size and shape of the horn varies and is unique to an individual tyrannosaur. This subspecies will actively prey on other tyrannosaurs, mostly juveniles, as seen with the teal-skinned breed as well as cavemen. Some members of this subspecies can grow significantly larger than the average adult size, and can easily establish themselves as the Alpha of a pack.

## Vulture

Scavenger raptor-type birds, they fly around in the sky, searching for easy meals; they usually feed on the dead, but they're not above killing and eating badly wounded prey as well.

Several vultures, resembling *Teratornis*, appeared in the beginning half of "Scent of Prey", feeding on the many corpses of ape-men slaughtered in the previous episode. Some attempted to attack an injured Fang, but Spear scared them off. After treating Fang's wounds and realizing the danger the vultures posed, Spear built a stretcher to get her as far away from the birds as possible.

### Giant Vulture

Eldar and his father, the viking chieftain, captured a pair of two vultures, possibly *Argentavis*, and used them to ride them in a final attempt to fight Spear, Fang and Mira in "Vidarr". These giant vulture species are incorrectly shown with teeth when their real-world counterparts do not.

## Whale

Several whales, resembling humpback whales, appeared when one woke up Spear and Fang. These large sea mammals, which communicate by singing, were peaceful and not aggressive even when Spear and Fang were defensive. The entire body of the species is not really seen. ("Sea of Despair")

## Wild dog

*Main article: Wild Dogs*
Primitive canid scavengers resembling African wild dogs, albeit with bright red eyes. They hunt and coordinate by tracking down helpless prey then swarm it in a massive pack. When one dog finds a weak or dying prey, they start to grow in numbers. A specific pack stalked Spear as he was tending to the injured Fang. Spear fought off the dogs single-handed until a fully-healed Fang joined the fray. ("Scent of Prey")

These dogs are also referred to as "Primordial dogs" in the "Scent of Prey" pitch animatic.

## Wolf

The wolf is an animal that first appeared as one of Spear's shadow puppets. ("River of Snakes")

A pack of actual animals is seen scavenging on a dead mammoth until they see the rest of the herd approaching. The wolves are white and, unlike any wolves that existed in real life, have saber teeth. ("A Cold Death")

The animals are referred to as a "Wolf" in both the "River of Snakes," and the "A Cold Death" pitch animatics.

The Head Witch transforms into a giant wolf in "Coven of the Damned".

The Celts have a domesticated wolf, who is seen giving Spear his bone. ("Shadow of Fate")

## Woolly Mammoth

*Main articles: Elderly Mammoth and Mammoth Matriarch*
Woolly Mammoths are a species of elephants which inhabit arctic areas. Covered with heavy fur with a wool-like appearance, giving them the name woolly, with giant elongated upright curved tusks. They migrate in herds through icy winters. They are intelligent animals that even mourn the fallen members of their herd, based on the real behavior of African elephants.

A mammoth herd has a conflict with Fang and Spear, ending this in peace when the caveman gives them the tusk of the old mammoth that they hunted previously. ("A Cold Death")

A mammoth skull was kept by the ape-men as a helmet for their chosen champions, although Krog chose to don a Triceratops skull instead for his battle with Fang. ("Rage of the Ape-men")

## Miscellaneous

* Among episodes, flocks of birds are shown flying in panning shots.
* "Terror Under the Blood Moon": The lair of the bats and spider contained various kinds of dead animals. None (aside from dead humans, a Triceratops covered in webbing and a mention of an "elk" in the pitch animatic) were actually identified. These corpses resembled rhinos, a *Syndyoceras*, a hadrosaurid resembling *Parasaurolophus*, a lion, a giant pig, a spiked creature (possibly an ankylosaur), a thylacine, foxes, a small theropod, and a chalicothere.
* "Rage of the Ape-Men": An earthworm, butterflies, and regular flies appear. The Ape shaman wears a hood made from the skin of what appears to be a jaguar or leopard and the lower part of his tunic resembles the stripes on a tiger's skin.
* "Slave of the Scorpion": Spear, Fang, and Mira feed on an ungulate in the episode, and Mira uses grubs to lead Fang up to the mountain cave.
* "The Primal Theory": There are various kind of animals mounted on the walls of the manor resembled zebras, various kinds of deer, musk oxen, swordfish, various kinds of antelope and badgers and paintings of african buffalo, rabbits, herons and butterflies.

* Although sheep and goats do not appear physically, they can be heard bleating onboard The Colossaeus lower levels in "The Colossaeus, Part II". Subsequently, a ram head carved out of wood is a finishing decoration of the railing surrounding the stairway inside Lord Darlington's estate, as seen in "The Primal Theory." The Egyptians use a battering-ram, shaped like a literal ram head, in order to knock open the Babylonian gates in "The Colossaeus, Part II".
* "The Colossaeus, Part II": A red statuette of a Chinese dragon is among the treasure that the Egyptians looted from the battle with the Chinese.
