## Behavior (Wild)

Tyrannosauruses have a hunting system where they will cycle between hunting and being neutral. When they're hunting, they will go after various creatures, including players and villagers. When they're neutral, they will simply wander around unless provoked. This applies to adults and babies, though babies will not attack players or villagers.

When an adult Tyrannosaurus gets attacked, there's a 1 in 4 chance of it roaring. This roar is powerful enough to knock back mobs and break blocks weaker than wood.

Adult Tyrannosauruses can cast weakness 2 on all nearby creatures with the exception of other Tyrannosauruses and Triceratops.

Occasionally they may be found sleeping in Tyrannosaurus Nests. They will remain asleep until they get attacked, sense a player getting too close without sneaking, or if the egg is stolen. Once their target is dead they will return to the nest and go back to sleep.

## Combat

If you ever encounter a Tyrannosaurus in the wild, always assume that it's in hunting mode. Tyrannosauruses can kill players in one hit regardless of whatever (unenchanted) armor they're wearing. Their roars can also prove to be a nuisance if you are somehow able to withstand their bites and go for one on one combat.

One of the best ways to kill a Tyrannosaurus is to use a ranged weapon, such as a bow, or a creature with ranged attacks such as the Stegosaurus. This keeps you safe from their knockback roars, powerful bites, and weakness casting.

In case you want to go for melee, a full stack of enchanted golden apples and fully enchanted netherite gear is recommended. Make sure to eat the apples the moment you enter combat. You will be able to resist the knockback roars this way. Just take note of the fact that they can cast weakness on you.

The best creature that can counter the Tyrannosaurus is the Triceratops because their rival buff ensures that they deal more damage to the Tyrannosaurus and that they take less damage from their bites, though they will still get knocked back if they roar. Having a Tyrannosaurus of your own can also help as they are immune to the knockback roars. Apatosauruses with a ranged weapon on their back are also useful for exterminating them.

## Taming

Taming the Tyrannosaurus requires you to go hunt wild Tyrannosauruses for a 12.5% chance to get their egg. Once you get one, you have to place them in a warm biome or near a Dimetrodon in flame mode to hatch them. Once they hatch, you should give them flesh treats. You can then use any form of meat to make them grow up and heal them.

## Utility

Tyrannosauruses have a high health pool and a powerful attack. They have decent speed for all of those stats, making them good transport mounts that can keep you safe. They can even weaken potential attackers to take reduced damage from them. Their main downside is their lack of an effective ranged ability or ability to destroy blocks outside of their roar, which the slower and bulkier Apatosaurus fulfills. Overall, whether you want the Tyrannosaurus or an Apatosaurus as a destructive tank is up to player preferences.
