T-rex

Real- Life Information
Tyrannosaurus rex is a large predatory tyrannosaurid that lived during the late Maastrichtian of the Cretaceous Period, 68 - 65 million years ago, in North America alongside many other dinosaurs, like Triceratops. The size of specimens vary, but the by far largest specimen, "Scotty", is about 4 meters tall and 13 meters long, almost the size of a small house. Known skull fossils have some distinctive bite marks that match the teeth of Tyrannosaurus, found even in their species' fossils, indicating potential cannibalism, although this is debatable.

Description
By far the strongest carnivore in the game in terms of strength and durability, an angry Tyrannosaurus is not to be reckoned with. Being a very famous and known for its strength, no wonder its a first pick for new players of EOT: R. The problem with this is the common overestimation of it by new players. The Tyrannosaurus is very strong, but not invincible, as it still can be killed by bigger herbivores or even small carnivores if smart enough. When meeting a Tyrannosaurus it is best to avoid getting hit at all costs, as it has a very high chance to break enemy legs. It is also currently the only dinosaur in the game that can drag corpses. The Tyrannosaurus portrayed in EOT:R is very bulky and heavy. It is also one of the dinosaurs in game with 3 calls.

Appearance
The Tyrannosaurus portrayed in Era Of Terror Retro resembles a very bulky, heavy, buffy, and strong Tyrannosaurus, with a large and proportionally massive head, with brownish skin and darker in some regions, like under the chin. Both males and females don't have gender dimorphism, yet. Its body is made more for head-on brawl than a tactical hunter, and since it is very large, staying hidden can be hard.

Growth
Like all nestable dinosaurs in the game, the total time to grow a Tyrannosaurus from hatchling to adult is '''600 seconds. '''It is one of the worst growing dinosaurs, as the young can't do damage at all.

Hatchling
As a hatchling, you are the most vulnerable thing in the entire game, as you cannot yet do damage and you are slow. The stamina is also relatively bad with no extra regen bonus while sitting. Your survival chances depend deeply on parents, as they cannot kill anything and would die of starvation alone, except if it manages to find other dinosaur's kill and scavenge.

Juvenile
Juvenile Tyrannosaurus is practically the same as the hatchling, only way better. It has more health, stamina, and is faster, although can't yet deal damage. As you are faster you can now outrun a few other dinosaurs, but not many, as you are still easy prey and can be spotted easier.

Sub- Adult
At this growth stage, your stats will increase immensely, and you are no longer easy prey. As for now, it doesn't deal any damage, which is weird. It is faster than an adult and has smaller turning, making it more agile. Your hunger cap has increased immensely, and you won't need to eat as frequently.

Adult
An adult Tyrannosaurus is not to be messed with, as you are now the strongest in-game carnivore so far. You can do damage, break bones, bleed, and grab corpses. For now, adult egg- grown Tyrannosaurus cannot nest.

Combat
Even as something as strong as Tyrannosaurus you can often be outmatched, even by weaker dinosaurs. So still, combat strategies are important, not to face something head-on cluelessly.

Obviously, smaller and weaker low- tier dinosaurs such as Gallimimus, Oviraptor, Stegoceras, Pteranodon, and Quetzalcoatlus is no match for the brute strength of Tyrannosaurus. Although trying to hit and catch one might be a problem as you are rather slow and not agile, but they do not pose any serious threat.

To a small carnivore, like Carnotaurus, it can be a problem but thankfully you have a better turning radius to your advantage. Usually, new Carnotaurus players will flee on sight, although some may run up and charge but end up dead. These are not a problem. But be wary that skilled Carnotaurus players also exist and might be a serious threat, as they master the playstyle and know what weakness each possesses. These kinds of players will usually try to waste your stamina by chasing them or circling you until either you are tired or lower your guard and then exploiting a weak spot in your tail. Once the Carnotaurus gets behind you, you can walk backwards, and face the opposite way you were turning to and bite; that's where usually they are gonna run to. Most Tyrannosaurus players try to circle to get to the Carnotaurus, but ended up tailridden to death. However, still, a Carnotaurus is no match for you and it will likely die after 4-5 bites, accounting bleed.

Moving on to a small herbivore, such as Maiasaura and Parasaurolophus, they are practically defenseless against you and poses 0 threat to you. But it would be a little problem to catch them for food, as both are significantly faster and more agile. A Parasaurolophus is a bit slower, but way worse turning. The simplest way to catch both is by surprise. Find bushes or ledged areas where you can hide behind hills, and strike at the perfect moment. After a bite is landed on an unwary Parasaurolophus it will most likely break its leg, less chance with Maiasaura. Sometimes a trolling Maiasaura will tailride you and keep hitting, but it wont do any significant damage, but with their acceleration slide they can be brake-checked.

Against more dangerous foes like Tarchia and Stegosaurus, it would take a different approach. As you are very tanky your health is likely enough to tank the bleed inflicted by Stegosaurus until it dies. A different story with the Tarchia, a lot of people underestimate it of its size. As it has a 100% chance to break your leg in one hit, it would take patience and sustained turning to maintain your position on the head, a weak spot. Another option is to ambush an unsuspecting Tarchia from the front/sides, and then bleed it out to death.

Another carnivore that will be your enemy often is Tarbosaurus. They are very dangerous on a 1v1 as an experienced Tarbosaurus player will exploit your bigger turning radius, and will easily tailride you to death, and it is very rare that a Tyrannosaurus survives a 1v1 with it once it gets behind. A way to fight an already-behind Tarbosaurus is by walking backward, although this is proven ineffective as the Tarbosaurus has the same backward walking speed. Note that it can also break your legs. Another way is to prevent it from getting behind you, by standing with your back in the water/ a wall. In a head-on 1v1 by stats and strength, a Tyrannosaurus is far superior.

To big tank herbivores like Edmontosaurus and Triceratops would fit quite a challenge for Tyrannosaurus. On a fair 1v1, an Edmontosaurus is more durable but doesn't have enough strength to inflict enough damage to fight back nor enough speed to run, but as the nature of Edmontosaurus players are in herds you'd have to be more careful, as just 2 can kill you. It has a mediocre chance to break your leg. A way to hunt down Edmontosaurus when in packs is to find hurt or separated ones. A very different story with the Triceratops which is one of the deadliest dinosaur in the entire game. Including the critical damage, it can 4-5 shot you, meanwhile, you'd need 10-15 hits to kill it. A Triceratops has a smaller turning radius in advantage, making it very hard to solo a Triceratops, as you'd need to ambush but likely would still get hurt. But still, it is possible, by either ambush it and let it die of bleed, or somehow not get the critical hit. An easier way is with packs of 2, as the Triceratops will have to split its concentration in two, therefore a bigger chance of killing it.

Moving on to other top- tier carnivores, turf wars between Acrocanthosaurus and Tyrannosaurus is considered very common, both being the strongest carnivores in their own right. Usually, Acrocanthosauruses hunt in packs of 3-4, which can easily overpower a Tyrannosaurus. In a fair 1v1, however, you are superior, with a smaller turning and leg break. Usually it will try to get behind you, but can easily be tackled by both walking backward or turning. After the first 5 bites, it will likely break a leg, making it easy prey. Always note that if you see an Acrocanthosaurus chances are more is near. There are also uncommon occurrences of Tyrannosaurus fighting each other, and this depends on who landed the most bites and who breaks legs first.

Tyrannosaurus has the most bite damage of all carnivores in- game, which makes it an excellent sauropod hunter in its own right. A Giraffatitan is not impossible to kill, with 4- 5 Tyrannosaurs in a pack. Usually, they will ally with near Acrocanthosaurus; Tyrannosaurus being the main damage inflicter and Acrocanthosaurus being the bleeder. Like the usual strategy, is to bite between the front legs and avoid stomps and tail whips.

Trivia

 * Players commonly refer to Tyrannosaurus as "Rex", similar to other games.
