Tyrannosaurus

Animal · 12 hexes · SM +5 Tyrannosaurus [Monsters on Automatic, SRD coverage: dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts; answers Tyrannosaurus Rex (SRD 5.1); Tyrannosaurus (SRD 3.5)]

Twelve metres of animal whose only real predator is another one of itself. It smells a party long before it sees them, it does not stalk, and it does not test — it walks straight in, because in its entire experience nothing has ever been worth caution. The correct response is distance and terrain, not a plan.

Notes

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/tyrannosaurus.gct
• Independent build total: 40 points of racial traits plus 8 points of racial skills.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex (SRD 5.1); Tyrannosaurus (SRD 3.5). Only the creature identity is taken from the SRD; the GURPS statistics, ratings and prose are this project's own work and reproduce no SRD text.
• Typical Stats, damage and ratings are derived from the racial template, not authored beside it, so the sheet and the stat block cannot disagree.
• Body mass used to scale this build: 7000 kg. ST, Size Modifier and DR are checked against it; see the gurps-animal-sanity-check skill for the bands.
• Movement: ground Move 6, 9 at a sprint (primary). The published Move is the primary medium's cruising Move; sprint figures are stated here and not folded into it.
• Treasure and grappling are not authored for this batch and ship as explicit nulls; `lair` carries a short habitat note, because where a wandering animal dens is an encounter fact rather than a loot one.
• Twelve metres nose to tail, which is the SM +5 row.
• ST from Basic Lift: it lifts and shakes a carcass the weight of a horse, which is the heaviest thing it demonstrably does. Tonnage would give a larger figure that no encounter could use.
• At this Size Modifier the published Strength discount for size has bottomed out, so the racial template prices ST at the floor of its cost rather than lower.
• The bite is impaling rather than cutting. A tyrannosaur's teeth are thick conical pegs built to punch through bone and hold, not serrated blades — which is what separates it from the dromaeosaurs in this batch, whose teeth genuinely are knives.
• Added after a post-hoc comparison against independent GURPS fan conversions of this creature: Night Vision; the Tracking skill, which a creature with Discriminatory Smell should always have. The comparison surfaced the gap; the build is still ours.

Description

Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0

• Independently authored GURPS build. The SRD supplies the creature identity this record answers to and nothing else: no SRD statistics, wording or presentation is reproduced, and no third-party GURPS conversion was used as an input.
• Answers the SRD heading(s): Tyrannosaurus Rex (SRD 5.1); Tyrannosaurus (SRD 3.5).
• Racial template: 40 points across 19 traits, plus 2 racial skill(s) worth 8 points.
• Every trait is drawn from the project's controlled GURPS vocabulary in scripts/srd/trait-library.mjs, which carries the page reference and published cost for each entry.
• sourceSystem is recorded as doa_fixture because that is the package contract's value for project-authored material; the SRD headings this record answers are in provenance.coversSourceIdentities.
• Ratings are recomputed through the consumer CER path on every build, so a mechanics change cannot leave a stale rating behind.
