Fang's Offspring

* First Offspring
* Second Offspring

**Fang's Offspring** are minor characters in *Primal*. As the name suggests, they are the young of Fang the tyrannosaur; so far, she has reared two separate clutches. Her first set were born prior to first episode and killed shortly after Fang met Spear; the second set were born a while after Fang mated with another Tyrannosaur.

## Appearance

Fang's offspring are infant *Tyrannosaurus* greatly resembling their mother, with fewer teeth and proportionately larger eyes to indicate their youthfulness. The two batches are largely similar, but with some physical differences.

Fang's first batch of offspring had pale teal scales with dark stripes; the patterns resembled their mother, including her distinct facial stripe. Each also possessed a smaller version of Fang's namesake snaggletooth on the right side of their lower jaws. The main difference between them was that one of the infants was subtly paler and had a single spot on their back, while the other was of a darker shade and had a few stripes encircling their body.

Fang's second pair of hatchlings are similar to the first, but without the snaggletooth and distinctly different colorations; their bodies are a combination of teal, gray, and red. One has a gray head and neck with red stripes, while the other has a teal head with a small horn on its nose and a gray body with red stripes on its tail. As adults, they are similar to their mother and have their own snaggleteeth, with the teal-headed one achieving spikes on the back of its head and a large horn on its snout like its father.

## Personality

### First Offspring

Both of Fang's offspring were curious, energetic, and playful. The two enjoyed eating fish caught by their mother and playing in their nest. They were heavily dependent on their mother for protection, and as such they were fearful of danger and would run to their mother for safety. They were friendly to strangers if they proved they were to be trusted, as they immediately approached and warmed up to Spear after he saved their lives.

### Second Offspring

Like their late siblings, the second batch of offspring are very energetic and playful. However, perhaps due to their early exposure to violence, the two are not as fearful in dangerous situations, since they showed no reaction to the intense battle onboard the Colossaus and even fed violently on an injured soldier upon watching their mother do the same to several others. The teal-headed offspring with the small horn is shown to be very persistent and likes to rush into things immediately. However, the red-headed offspring is shown to be fairly intelligent and precocious compared to its sibling. Despite their different personalities, the two enjoy playing and exploring with each other. This bond would continue into their adulthood. The two had a close bond and trust with Spear, and felt comfortable enough to follow the neanderthal around and sleep around him.

## History

### First Offspring

When Spear followed Fang to her lair in a swamp, he was surprised to find her feeding her catch of fish to her offspring. They cowered behind their mother when she noticed Spear's presence; before either could act, they suddenly came under attack by a small pack of large horned theropods. Seeing the hatchlings' distress and remembering the fate of his own family, Spear decided to help Fang fight off the invaders; the infant dinosaurs watched as their mother ripped off one attacker's nose and Spear slew another.

After the battle, Fang's offspring warily approached Spear; after a moment, they began to affectionately nuzzle him and play with his hair, causing Spear to smile. Unfortunately, the tender moment was interrupted as the theropods' massive pack leader entered the scene, again sending the two offspring into a panic. After swatting Fang away with its tail, the alpha caught the siblings in its jaws, giving them only a moment to cry out in terror before crushing and swallowing them.

Shortly afterwards, Fang's offspring were avenged by Spear, who worked with Fang to mount the alpha and impale its brain with his namesake weapon. Despite the victory, Fang was left devastated by the loss of her offspring, somberly lying in their former nest as Spear solemnly leaves. ("Spear and Fang")

When a witch named Lula explored Fang's past, she witnessed the birth and tragic demise of the dinosaur's offspring. ("Coven of the Damned")

### Second Offspring

While exploring a new land after crossing the ocean in search of Mira, Fang met a Tyrannosaur named Red. They mated before Red's untimely death, and the fruits of their union would be revealed shortly after Fang, Spear, and Mira escaped from a vengeful father-and-son Viking duo. After docking their damaged boat, Fang ran off to begin making a nest; once they understood her intent, an overjoyed Spear and Mira assisted her. When the nest was complete, Fang laid three new eggs, fiercely guarding them even from Spear and Mira, as well as the Viking duo when they attacked astride giant birds. ("Vidarr")

With Mira becoming impatient to leave, she and Spear had to figure out how to get an uncooperative Fang's eggs onto the boat. They made a new nest aboard the vessel, but only succeeded in getting the eggs aboard when Fang realized their intentions and moved the eggs herself. As the trio set sail, a gigantic warship appeared out of nowhere and attacked their boat. Spear and Mira fought against the soldiers to help Fang protect her nest; when Kamau joined the battle, Fang fought him with her eggs carried in her mouth. Unfortunately, this backfired when Kamau struck Fang in the face with enough force to knock the eggs out; two landed back in the nest, but one was shattered on the side of the boat.

Infuriated by the loss of one of Fang's new offspring, the trio attacked Kamau with renewed ferocity until a new interruption came; the remaining eggs were taken by the leader of the warship, an Egyptian Queen named Ima. Taking the trio prisoner, she cruelly coerces Spear and Fang into fighting for her by threatening to destroy another one of the eggs. Fang initially refuses to do so, but Spear calms her down and convinces her to obey the Queen for the sake of her eggs. ("The Colossaeus, Part I")

The two remaining eggs remain as Ima's hostages until Spear, Mira, and Amal attempted to escape the warship with them. However, during the escape, the eggs unexpectedly hatch. The hatchlings both let out their cries for their mother, which causes Fang to escape the dungeon and rush to their aid. However, they were soon captured again and held hostage by Ima, forcing the heroes to surrender Fang's and Kamau's offspring to her. ("The Colossaeus, Part II")

The following day, Kamau and Fang's offspring remained as Ima's hostages and were forced to witness the execution of Spear, Mira, and their mother. The two babies cried continuously for their mother as they struggled against the chains keeping them in her grasp; they managed to escape when Kamau suddenly threw his axe at her throne. The infant dinosaurs rushed over to Fang, nuzzling her happily before she begins attacking the Egyptian forces in order to protect them.

During the battle, the two fed on a crippled soldier before one of them is shot in the leg by an archer. Realizing that the battle was too dangerous for the babies, Spear and Mira save them by jumping overboard with Fang following them. They soon take refuge in an incoming boat full of slaves, where they tended to the offspring's wounded leg. Soon after Ima was literally overthrown, the babies were playing happily together before sleeping on their mother's head. ("The Colossaeus, Part III")

Weeks later, the boat docked on Mira's homeland and the babies have shown to have grown quite a little bit. One baby with the teal face wanted to rush out to land but ended up falling into the water several times. However, the gray offspring with the red stripes appears to be highly intelligent and is a very fast learner. It showed its sibling how to swim across to land by simply kicking with its hindlegs. The two babies travelled across the land with Spear, Mira, and their mother until the teal face one began to get tired. The group takes shelter in a cave where they decide to spend the night in.

The following morning, Fang lets Spear sleep with her babies and goes out to look for some food. When Fang comes across a woman who is bathing herself in a lake, Spear, Mira, and the babies are awakened by Fang's roar. Luckily, Mira manages to stop Fang before she attacks the woman whom she recognized. The woman turns out to be her old friend who got injured on the night her people were attacked by the Vikings. After being escorted to Mira's village, Spear, Fang, and the babies were not heavenly welcomed because of their appearances. But Mira convinced them that they're not enemies and they mean no harm before reuniting with the chief of her village, her father. As Spear and Mira join the people's festivities, Fang and her babies rest on a hillside before being joined by Spear. It is clear that Spear is beyond the verge to celebrate because of everything he's been through.

Mira wanted to cheer Spear up by letting him and the dinosaur family sleep in her home. As everyone sleeps, Spear drew cave paintings of his life's story so that Mira could read them. The next morning, the village was attacked by the Viking Chieftain in his fire entity form, the babies are forced to stay behind while Fang and Spear run off to fight the monster. Following a deadly battle, Spear sacrificed himself to save his friends and Mira's village, but he suffered second to third degree burns all over his body. Fang and her babies roar in agonizing sadness and wander off as they mourn the loss of their friend. Years after the debacle, Fang's babies grew into adult dinosaurs, and it is soon revealed that Mira mated with Spear and gave birth to a daughter, signifying the start of a brand-new generation.
