About
By far the largest land predator on Skull Island, and one of the largest predators ever, Vastatosaurus Rex lives up to its name of "Ravager Lizard-King." The top predator on the island, V. Rex hunts nearly anything and everything. Adult males can be found all across the open lowlands, while adult females usually dwell along the fringes of the jungles. Juveniles, meanwhile, live in packs in the dense jungle interior, avoid the adults (and many large predators), until they grow large enough to hunt on their own.While large and strong enough to take even the large plant eaters, V. Rex is an opportunistic predator and isn't above taking a kill from another V. Rex, or another predator species entirely. They also aren't above eating carrion, and tend to consume most of a kill, their strong stomach acids capable of digesting most anything, while their powerful jaws could crack even the strongest bones for the rich marrow.
Although capable of reaching 25 MPH in a dead run (for short stretches), V. Rex is more of an ambush predator. They lurk near waterholes, trails, and in areas of light forest, where they normally prey on Ligocristus. They usually use their dark coloration to help hide their appearance, staying in shadowed areas -- such near stands of scrub, cliffs and outcroppings, and ruins. Amazingly stealthy for their size, they are also more flexible than they look, due to the arraignment of their rib cage and hips.
Vastatosaurus Rex looks much like the classic Tyrannosaur, except its about ten feet longer (they can reach up to 50 feet in length). This would make it the second largest land carnivore ever, with only Spinosaurus being larger (at 60 feet in length). Giganotosaurus is a close third, at 45 feet, with Tyrannosaurus measuring in at around 43 feet. Vastatosaurus Rex weighs in at around 8-10 tons as well, making it a top candidate for the heaviest predator. The head of a V. Rex is heavily encrusted with bone and thickened scales, with similar armor plating down the spine and across most of the body. The massive feet have three toes (for stability on the soft terrain), while the forelimbs have three fingers (unlike the two of a T. Rex).
