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

    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 mean, they’d be pretty much like real chickens.

          Chicken rules are just prison rules.

          You pick the biggest one, and punt it across the yard. Then it attacks the second biggest one and you’re done.

          If you let one of them attack you first, then the rest are going to want to see how they measure up.

            Unless you accidentally punt the one that makes the toilet wine… then you’ll have a mess of alch-y chickens looking for your flask & going all puke-a-potamus all over your shoes.

          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.

            Yeah, I saw that documentary. They would even sometimes team up with yellow triceratops.

            You…attacked the cocos??? YOU MONSTER!!!

            Fun fact, Danny Sexbang had ZERO idea about that feature despite playing Link to the Past growing up. It wasn’t until Arin Hanson forced him to repeatedly attack them. Then we got to hear Dannys reaction in realtime for the first time ever seeing what happens.

        Pack 100 of compsognathus (compsognathii?) says hello.

        Not sure how out of date the research is, but in the original Jurassic Park book, there are roaming packs of these things that overwhelm and kill people.

        Though the on screen scene of them killing people happens in the second movie, it actually takes place in the first book IIRC… anyway, they’re basically depicted as land piranhas.

        (Again, IIRC, Jurassic Park the book basically gets set in motion with a family of tourists being eviscerated by a pack of compys… but the first movie dropped this from the story, then when the second movie comes out they basically use this scene as the intro for that, but its on a different island and used to set off an entirely new story?)

          You do. That’s how John Hammond goes. Falls in a ditch, breaks his leg, and the compys eat him alive. At least that’s what I remember.

      I question whether one should fear a T-Rex or not.

      First of all, they may have been scavengers and not predators.

      Secondly, would they even bother with something so small as a human even if they were predators? I mean, do lions eat mice? 🤔
