* ''[[Fossil Fighters]]'' explicitly explains that the revived animals (which include more than just dinosaurs) gained superpowers as a side-effect of the cloning process, which is why that T-rex is breathing fire and that Dilophosaurus is shooting out gallons of water. |

** The devs also admitted [https://web.archive.org/web/20101122130922/http://fossilfighters.com/html/making-of/5/ in an interview] that they did this due to the [[Rule of Fun]]: "If we were to make it realistic, the only things the dinosaurs could do is either bite or stomp.

The 'T' in 'Baby T', as hinted by the trope name, stands for ''Tyrannosaurus Rex''. In fact, a low-res Baby T model was ''used as a placeholder'' while the dragons were being programmed into the game. |
