Diet
A T-Rex has a highly predator, carnivorous diet. They eat any kind of meat, though largely they hunt large dinosaurs like brachiosaurs which they can simply tear into with their teeth.
Feathering
There are two general types of T-Rex breeds that exist: those with feathers and those without them. Why these two types of T-Rex grew separately are unclear, and what purpose the two have to co-exist is also not an answer scholars have found yet.
In Culture
The T-Rex is the most famous type of dinosaur. For many in Totania, when they think of dinosaurs, they think of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, be it a feathered or non-feathered variant.
Dino Nuggets
The shape of a Tyrannosaurus Rex is just one of many in the Dino Nuggets that are sold across Totania. Some of these are made of chicken meat, others from Avian meat, and some even are made of pure dinosaur meat. Those made from dinosaur are particularly expensive, considered a delicacy despite their fairly juvenile aesthetic. If one were to go to
Elone, where it is uncommon to eat dinosaur, they would find Dino Nuggets are a respected food eaten mostly by the wealthy.
Horror Stories
The Tyrannosaurus features prominently in many stories about fearing nature and the animals that live in the wild. There is a well known tale called "The Rex" which is about a Tyrannosaurus that manages to subjugate an army of beasts and uses them to invade and take over a town, hunting the people that live there. The story then is about the people trying to survive when everything around them is controlled by the dinosaurs and beasts, ultimately ending with a chase from the T-Rex itself.
The Revolutionary Beastmaster
One particularly feared Tyrannosaurus Rex is Tolman, the pet and mount of
Rosenthal Nutsk, the
Beastmaster of the
Army of the Revolution. Rosenthal was said to roam around the world with her pets, all atop Tolman, fighting against oppression.
Tolman was a special product of Beastmastery. Unlike other Beasts that are under the control of Beastmastery, Tolman no longer required orders to follow what his master wants. He had been conditioned through her magic enough that he knew what she wanted by instinct.
Rosenthal and Tolman, alongside other animals, were active for over three decades in
Elone, from the late 520s all the way to 560, fighting against the forces of the
World Court. Many tyrants and rulers feared the jaws of her T-Rex more than they feared the will of the very people they subjugated, but that was all Tolman was: the will of the people that were ready to fight back.
