Hi there! In our second Dino Dossier post, we will be talking about Tyrannosaurus, my second favourite dinosaur! This fearsome dinosaur is the undisputed ruler of the island!
-------------------------
Basic Information
Common Name: Rex
Species: Tyrannosaurus dominum
Time: Late Cretaceous
Diet: Carnivore
Amongst the deadliest creatures on the island, Tyrannosaurus dominum is a killing machine.
Domesticated
Taming a Tyrannosaurus is without a doubt a primary goal for any aspiring warlord or warring tribe. There is a reason Tyrannosaurus is considered the king of dinosaurs (or with this genus, the 'lord'). A tribe that actually manages to tame one has almost nothing to fear to challenge their power.
Others
Active mostly when hunting for food or defending its nest, a reasonable plan is to avoid every Tyrannosaurus. I've seen no creature on the island that can contest Tyrannosaurus for sheer dominance. It is pure power - from its bite, to its stomp, to its tail, to its arms.
Despite being a different sub-species of Tyrannosaurus, everyone I've met still refers to them as a "Rex" or a "T-Rex". I've long since stopped trying to convince anyone, especially the insane few who I've seen wearing Tyrannosaurus teeth as necklaces.

Behaviour [to be updated once AI is enhanced]
Tyrannosaurus, as expected of the ultimate killing machine, is extremely aggressive. It will pursue almost all other creatures on sight. However, Tyrannosaurus seems to favour larger prey, sometimes ignoring smaller prey, like humans, for larger ones.
Resources From Harvesting
Tyrannosaurus corpses provide Raw Meat and Hide when harvested. Being larger, rarer and more dangerous, a small amount of Raw Prime Meat can also be obtained from Tyrannosaurus.
An Artifact, Tyrannosaurus Arm, can also be obtained from a dead Tyrannosaurus, just look in its inventory!
Taming Methods [to be updated once taming system is enhanced]
For now, the only way to take a Tyrannosaurus is to knock it unconscious. It is recommended to do so using Tranquilliser Arrows. Using a Slingshot against a Tyrannosaurus is already an absurd idea, not to mention using your fists.
Food [to be updated once taming system is enhanced]
Like most other carnivores, Tyrannosaurus eats meat of both prime and normal quality, whether raw, cooked or as jerky!
When taming, Tyrannosaurus prefers Raw Prime Meat, and Kibbles.
Utility
Tyrannosaurus is very efficient at harvesting resources from the bodies of creatures. Tyrannosaurus is able to obtain Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat and Hide from dead creatures.
While using Tyrannosaurus to harvest these resources is fast, it does not yield as much of them as compared to using Metal Tools. It may also be good to know that Tyrannosaurus harvests more Raw Meat than Hide, similar to Picks.
Tyrannosaurus can also obtain Keratin and Chitin from bodies that have them, albeit in small quantities.
Tyrannosaurus are not able to harvest resources from bushes, trees or rocks.
Being the ultimate killing machine on the island, it is without a doubt that Tyrannosaurus would be the ideal ride for a hunter. It can chase down its prey while dealing high damage. These aspects are also what make Tyrannosaurus a great attack mount, as its ferociousness and power are unrivalled, and it has a large health pool.
Tyrannosaurus can also serve less destructive purposes. For those who wish to do so, it can be used as a pack animal to carry heavy loads.
You can make your tamed Tyrannosaurus roar when you're riding it - just press the Right Mouse Button!

For the next Dino Dossier post, I will write about tomorrow's new dossier creature. Following that, I will focus not just on dinosaurs, but other animals as well!
Hope you enjoyed this article featuring the mighty and fearsome Tyrannosaurus!
