Tyrannosaurus Rex: Difference between revisions
→Video Games
Line 149:
* ''[[Dead or Alive]] 4'' has a stage filled with dinosaurs, including a ''T. rex'', despite taking place in the modern day. A story-mode cutscene that takes place in the stage has the dino terrorize Hitomi before Jann Lee kicks it in the face and knocks it out with one punch, saving her life. Hitomi chastises him for hurting it, the ungrateful bitch.
* ''[[Star Fox Adventures]]''
** The RedEye tribe
** The SharpClaw tribe is based slightly more on ''Allosaurus''. Their leader, [[Big Bad|General Scales]] even seems to resemble a ''Giganotosaurus'' a bit more than a ''T. rex''.
** Then there was the only enemy of the "Walled City"', the "Red Eye" tribe, and [[Exposition Fairy|Tricky's Father]] was to be sacrificed to "King Red Eye", who lived under the city. Both were [[Nightmare Fuel]], and unbeatable until one learned how to kill them properly. {{spoiler|Fox Used: Earthquake! It's Super Effective!}}
Line 162:
* ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' has the heroes square off against a ''T. rex'' that ''[[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|breathes fire]]'' in the prehistoric era. Its descendent shows up in a later optional dungeon.
* ''[[Primal Rage]]'' has two ''Tyrannosaurus rex''-shaped gods named [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Diablo and Sauron]].
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' introduced Tyrunt and Tyrantrum in Gen 6 as the franchise's first true Tyrannosaurus Pokemon. Being badass Rock/Dragon types with a kingly motif to them, [[Ensemble Darkhorse|saying that fans liked them is a hell of an understatement.]] Before they were introduced, they had a few Pokemon with tyrannosaurus-like features to fill the void the best they could, which are as follows:
** Tyranitar, which is obviously named after good ol' ''T. rex'', though it looks more like [[Godzilla]]. Still, it being a big badass lizard with short arms definitiely brings them to mind.
** There's also [[Olympus Mons|Groudon]], which happens to be the Pokeverse's version of the mythical Behemoth. It's also the heaviest of all Pokémon, weighing in at over 2 tons, [[Irony|meaning that the Pokémon based on larger dinosaurs (mostly sauropods) are lighter than it (and usually much shorter too)]].
** The Charmander line also have some distinctly Tyrannosaurish traits to them: Charmander in particular looks like an adorable baby T. Rex (albeit with the wrong number of fingers) while Charmeleon looks more like one in its adolescence, albeit with long arms. Charizard however loses all Tyrannosaurus-like traits in favor of looking more like a stereotypical western dragon.
* The Tyrant Rex dream eater in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D]]''. Aside from a special one fought as a miniboss, it's not particularly large (Though still large by normal enemy standards), being only a head or two taller then Sora and Riku, doesn't sound nearly as fearsome as you might expect (Its "roars" resemble the sounds a stepped-on cat might make), and is flamboyantly colored, as is the norm for dream eaters. They are, however, as dangerous as they look, as they possess a great deal of HP and attack power, [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|can breathe fire]], and won't budge if hit by weak attacks.
* ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'' has a ''Tyrannosaurus "Tex"'' as a boss.
Line 186 ⟶ 185:
* In the [[PC-88]] version of ''[[Dragon Slayer]]'', one of the enemies sort of looks like a Tyrannosaurus, and apparently is supposed to be one. Oddly enough, it's the second weakest enemy.
* In ''[[Adventures of Dino Riki]]'', the second boss is a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus.
* The Thunderjaws of ''[[Horizon Zero Dawn]]'' are some of the coolest Tyrannosaurs in fiction. Why? Because they're gigantic robot Tyrannosaurs equipped with rocket launchers and laser cannons! However, as cool as they are they're also some of the most dangerous machines for that exact same reason, meaning that any player looking to tackle one better make damn-well sure that they're prepared.
* A photo-realistic Tyrannosaurus Rex that looks like it stepped right off the set of Jurassic Park is a rare, but memorable enemy in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. And guess what? Like many things in the game, you can possess and play as it!
