Tarbosaurus

Real Life Information
Tarbosaurus is a genus of tyrannosaurid theropod dinosaur that flourished in Asia about 70 million years ago, at the end of the Late Cretaceous Period. It is possible that Tarbosaurus had evolutionary precedence, and spawned Tyrannosaurus rex when some hardy individuals crossed the Siberian land bridge into North America. It weighed 8,800 lbs and was 33 – 39 ft. long. Its phylum (a principal taxonomic category that ranks above class and below kingdom) is chordata.

Description
The Tarbosaurus in Era Of Terror Retro is one of the best among the large carnivores, being slightly weaker than T. Rex and Acrocanthosaurus. Although both may overpower the Tarbosaurus if, given the chance, a good player will most likely be able to outwit them both, as Tarbosaurus has an awesome turning radius, the best of all big carnivores in the game. It also has the chance to break an enemy's leg, smaller than T. Rex's but is something that the faster Acrocanthosaurus doesn't have in advantage. It is also quite fast, being able to chase down herbivores to eat. It has mediocre bleed and damage, slightly less than T. Rex, but dealing the same amount of bleed, 10. As of the current state of the game, it cannot nest/be nested nor grab corpses, which led to its "dead" state in the game as anyone rarely uses it.

Combat
Due to its strength, health, and speed, it can mostly take out relatively defenseless prey items such as Parasaurolophus, Oviraptor, and Stegoceras. Against faster enemies such as Carnotaurus, Gallimimus, or Maiasaura, they can easily escape, thus a surprise element is often required. As the turning radius suggests it is almost impossible tailridden, and if possible, very hard to.

Against the Stegosaurus, it is by raw stats stronger and can take it head-on most of the time, meanwhile, the Tarbosaurus will have a hard time against a Tarchia, who can easily break its legs rendering it less mobile, at the point of which the Tarchia can easily run or kill it. The only effective way is to find an opening, or attacking it from the front- sides, and with the relatively small size of Tarchia it is quite challenging to land a successful bite without getting hit.

Going with bigger enemies, like the Triceratops, can easily 4- 8 shot a Tarbosaurus, including the painful critical damage it deals. The Tarbosaurus has a big advantage on its turning radius and can easily outturn and tailride it, and avoid getting hit. Usually, the Triceratops will either bleed out or break its leg and will be easy prey once it did. An Edmontosaurus is an easy prey as it does not have enough speed to outrun it nor enough damage to kill it before it gets killed. Although it is very tanky and will likely take a lot of bites before it is down, so a sustained amount of bites and bleed is required.

Bigger and stronger carnivores can be quite a challenge, such as Acrocanthosaurus or Tyrannosaurus, but not impossible. An Acrocanthosaurus is much faster in speed and bigger bleed, but way worse turning. If careful not to get hit Tarbosaurus can kill it, but if the Acrocanthosaurus managed to land a hit or two you will often die from the bleed unless sitting. A different story for Tyrannosaurus which has a fairly better turning radius. It can easily tackle an unskilled player. It has more damage and health, and facing it head-on is dangerous. Skilled players will manage to get around it and eventually buttride it to death.

Meanwhile it would stand no chance solo against a Giraffatitan, and can easily be 1 shot unless it is smart enough to bite constantly between its legs. But being not too much of a sauropod killer it will take a LOT of time and energy keeping up with the aggressive Girraffatitan. With enough time, patience, and carefulness a pack of 3 - 4 can take one down.

Trivia

 * Players used to call Tarbosaurus "Tar", but since there is also an existing same nicknamed dinosaur Tarchia, it is now referred to as "Tarb" or "Tarbo" to avoid confusion.
 * Tarbosaurus doesn't have a sit animation.
