Tyrannosaurs are impressive monsters. They are bipedal dinosaurs with atrophied arms that are only barely useful for clinging to prey. Unlike their smaller Saurian cousins, their feet are equipped with only 'normal' claws, all approximately the same length. While these claws are quite good at shredding flesh and eviscerating foes, the real threat of a tyrannosaur is its mouth. Filled with sword-like teeth, and able to open to a size that could swallow a horse without chewing first, a tyrannosaur's bite is a legendary threat all to itself.
Tyrannosaurs are Killer roles, which makes them considerably more difficult to control as a mount than creatures that do not have a role.

Mutual Respect

  • Requires: 1 point(s) of CR
  • Benefit: Over time, even the most monstrous of mounts can be taught to respect their rider, even if they never come to actually like them. When this special ability is unlocked, the penalty to Handle Animal and Ride checks caused by this mount's role (e.g. Threat, Heavy, etc.) is reduced by -5.
This special ability can be purchased more than once. Each time it is purchased, the penalty is increased by an additional -5. The penalty can never be reduced beyond 0 (i.e. it can never become a bonus).

TEETH!

  • Requires: 1 point(s) of CR
  • Benefit: A mount with this ability has long, sword-like teeth that it has learned to use to deadly effect. At the time this special ability is unlocked, the mount's bonus melee damage increases by +4 permanently. This ability can only be used by the primary rider, and only contributes to their melee attacks made while riding this mount.
