Tyrannosaurus Rex

The **Tyrannosaurus Rex** or T-Rex is a rideable Creature in LEGO Worlds that naturally appears only in the Rowdy Rainforest after a lengthy Quest Chain to discover it.

## Description

The T-Rex is big. Huge. Enormous. Aggressive. And scary. Its body is orange underneath, and dark red on top, with brown stripes all across the face and down the back. It has a large mouth full of pointy off-white fangs, as well as long talons on the hands and feet that are the same colour. The head, jaw, arms, legs and tail all have the appearance of being separate pieces that are connected to the main body.

The T-Rex has few idle animations other than looking around, however, it does sit on the ground and comically scratch its neck with one of its legs as though getting rid of fleas. A tame T-Rex will fall also asleep on the ground (which will prevent it from being ridden).

When running, the T-Rex has a tendency to go into "charge" mode, and may be difficult to stop (try jumping if this happens). Characters and Creatures that get run over are knocked down, while Objects and Stud Chests are destroyed. While riding on the back of the T-Rex, the Player will have the appearance of surfing, trying to maintain balance on this barely controlled creature. When attacking, the T-Rex will whip its tail around at the target or lunge forward to snap with its teeth.

## Background

From Wikipedia:

Tyrannosaurus is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex (rex meaning "king" in Latin), is one of the most well-represented of the large theropods. Tyrannosaurus lived throughout what is now western North America, on what was then an island continent known as Laramidia. Tyrannosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by a long, heavy tail. Relative to its large and powerful hind limbs, Tyrannosaurus fore limbs were short but unusually powerful for their size and had two clawed digits. lthough other theropods rivaled or exceeded Tyrannosaurus rex in size, it is still among the largest known land predators and is estimated to have exerted the largest bite force among all terrestrial animals. By far the largest carnivore in its environment, Tyrannosaurus rex was most likely an apex predator...

From LEGO.com:

A carnivorous dinosaur from the late Cretaceous Period of North America about 65 million years ago, the gigantic Tyrannosaurus rex has well earned its reputation as the “tyrant lizard king.” Its two-fingered hands and arms may look almost comically small, but its massive jaws and strong, serrated teeth make it a true prehistoric force to be reckoned with.

## Notes

* The T-Rex has the same health and damage as a Dragon, but cannot fly or breathe fire. Still, it is remarkably difficult to tame, so be prepared ahead of time!
* The original name of the T-Rex in the code is TRex02, suggesting that there was another before it...
* The T-rex is is found in 5886 set T-rex Hunter.
* The T-Rex does not even begin spawning until a special Quest Chain involving the Dino Tracker is complete. Even then, it must still be defeated and THEN it wants Fish! (Edit: Seems this is no longer the case, like other things changed in the later Title Updated)
* One of its roars was presumably a stock sound from a Ukrainian Ironbelly from *Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows* Part 2.
* If a T-Rex is hit by a dragon fireball, it temporarily changes it's skin pattern and colors!

Jurassic LEGO Quest Chain
Once you get there, she'll shush you and tell you she's tracking a big one, which means you have to take a photo of the footprints nearby. Once you've done that, she'll realize she's going to need a bigger cage, so it's time to build the Dinosaur Enclosure Brick Build (you should have the Blueprint for this already, but if not, there should be another Dino Tracker in the world standing near a chest with the Blueprint inside).
Once the Enclosure is complete, she'll ask for a different weapon, and give you a Spear (Gold-Tipped) in trade for a Crossbow. The Gold Weapon is much better for you, however, since T-Rex is immune to all other weapons...
Now, she'll ask you to help lure the T-Rex, and as everyone knows, T-Rex loves chocolate (*they do?!*), so you'll have to paint some of the inside of the Enclosure with chocolate paint.
BUT BEFORE YOU DO....
Now would be a good time to prepare for the T-Rex. The upcoming battle is hard, perhaps the hardest in the game, an the Dino Tracker is exceptionally squishy. To keep her alive, you may want to build an enclosure for HER inside the Dinosaur Enclosure. A simple shelter will do, 4 walls, at least 6 bricks tall, and a roof and a door (so you can still go in and talk to her). No need to be fancy, you're just trying to keep the Dino girl safe after all.
Once you've figured out some way to protect the Dino Tracker, get to painting, but be prepared with your strongest Gold Weapon, a really good plan, and a lot of luck when that plan goes wrong. Once you've completed the painting and talked to the Dino Tracker again, the dinosaurs will arrive. Yes, plural. Two Coelophysis decided to come along for the ride! If you can figure out how to dispatch all three dinosaurs without losing the Dino Tracker, your Quest will be complete, and the T-Rex, most elusive and troublesome creature in the game, will begin spawning in the Rowdy Rainforest. Now, just to find one. And figure out how to kill it. AGAIN.
