Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.

    What I’ve never been able to wrap my head around is how did they use their tiny arms, and for what?

    Only thing I can think of is that they might have used them to brace themselves on the ground while leaning down past their balance point to eat. Doesn’t seem like a very useful thing to have arms just for that though

        Man, I decided to do just that, and it was almost exactly what I thought (minus the technical words): if a velociraptor can do a metric fuckle of damage with their two hook-toes, a T-Rex with 2 of those on each hand can fuck something up, presuming it’s close enough (which, as the T-Rex head/bite-force, and distance from the jaw suggests), would have been pretty frequently.

        Even if each claw only did a little damage, that’s still a lot of blood loss throughout the conflict, and the T-Rex would be more likely to win.

    I do see your point, it would probably look funny from a safe distance… Chicken (especially roosters) can be vicious. Up close, a dinosaur-sized chicken would be freaking terrifying!

        Def 100 chicken sized t-rex, they’re not pack hunters, so you won’t have to deal with a big coordinated attack. Just have to fight the tiny-rex a few at a time.

          I’ve played enough Zelda to know that chickens do attack in packs so why wouldn’t a T-Rex and how do we know? For all we know they were purple and sang songs.
