Summary
Tyrannosaurus rex, commonly abbreviated as T. rex, is a species of theropod dinosaur that lived throughout what is now western North America from 68 to 66 million years ago.
It was the largest terrestrial carnivore of North America, with the different measures between 12 and 12.5 meters in length and between 4.5 and 14 tonnes in weight (though measurements on Sue based on an inflated model provided estimates of up to 18.5 tonnes). While its title of largest theropod and terrestrial carnivore in the world is still being disputed and competed with other dinosaurs (of which it is winning in terms of mass), it remains unchallenged in the title of the owner of the most powerful bite force of all known terrestrial animals.
Since its discovery in the early 1900s, T.rex has been one of the most, if not the most famous and recognizable dinosaurs of all time.
Powers and Stats
Tier: 9-B, higher via piercing damage
Name: Tyrannosaurus rex
Origin: The Real World
Gender: Varies
Age: Varies. Oldest discovered specimen suggests a life span of at least 30 years.
Classification: Dinosaur, Theropod, Coelurosaur, Tyrannosaurid
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (Type 0; Is 12 to 12.5 meters in length), Bodily Weaponry (Conventional; Claws and teeth), Enhanced Senses (Hearing, eyesight and smell)
Attack Potency: Wall level (Has the most powerful bite force of all known land animals. Can generate this much kinetic energy by charging. Is stated to be built like a battering ram,[2] although there's barely sources that confirm they regularly charged at things top speed. Is far bigger than the biggest crocodile in the world,[3] who's a part of a species that are the closest relative to dinosaurs.[4] Can dent each other's skulls in fights[5]), higher via piercing damage (Its bite force has been estimated to be close to 12,800 pounds, while another study suggests a pressure of 431,000 psi, making it superior to the likes of Saltwater Crocodile, Great White Shark, and Orca. A study in 2012 suggested that they killed Triceratops by ripping the victim's head off its body by its frill)
Speed: Average Human (Different studies suggest a range of speed between 11 and 17 km/h, with a maximum walking gait of about 16 to 24 km/h)
Lifting Strength: Class 5 (The biceps brachii muscle of an adult Tyrannosaurus rex was capable of lifting 195 kilograms or 430 pounds by itself, meaning its much more powerful neck muscle [a T. rex's main means of lifting] must have been superior. Could drag multi-ton animals such as the Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, Edmontosaurus or even other T. rexes. While heavier and bigger than even the largest of modern crocodiles,[3][4] its overall lower speed made it unable to lift as much as them)
Striking Strength: Wall level
Durability: Wall level (Should be significantly more durable than a saltwater crocodile,[3][4] and should be physically comparable with other dinosaurs of similar strength like Triceratops and Ankylosaurus. Capable of withstanding itself tipping a Triceratops over at moderate speeds, although the act is just a hypothesis.[6] Their skulls can only be dented by bites from each other even when they're implied to bite through their flesh[5])
Stamina: Athletic (Has a build seemingly made for long-distance running. Can survive the bites and tackles of other T. rexes[5])
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: High Animalistic (Had a larger brain than most other reptiles in relation to size. EQ studies show that Tyrannosaurus rex may have had intelligence comparable to a baboon)
Weaknesses: Its legs would break if it was somehow forced to run beyond its limits.
