30-Day Retrosaur Art Challenge - Day #17 – Apex Predator

Pyroteratus tartarus – “Fire Monster from Tartarus”
(Pie-Row-Tear-At-Uss) (Tar-Tar-Uss)

Pyroteratus is probably the strongest and most terrifying True Tyrant so far discovered. Titled the Apex Predator to kill all Apex Predators, this beast was armed to the teeth with recurved talons on its feet and hands, spines on its body for protection, a hard-spiny club on the end of its tail, forward and backward pointing horns on its head, and a pair of hollow teeth that very well may have been used to envenomate its prey. Why would such a large and intimidating creature need venom? Well, some scientists have suggested this antediluvian monster most definitely took down some of the largest Long-Necked Goliaths ever to walk the earth, using its large fangs to inject venom beneath the tough hide of the Goliaths and wait for it to die, or just start tearing into its prey as soon as it feels the fangs. It was named Pyroteratus due to its monstrous size and features, and due to its proximity to ancient volcanoes, obviously its natural habitat, making it all the more hellish of a beast.

(Based off of Acrocanthosaurus, Spinosaurus, and back when scientists thought Sinornithosaurus was venomous)

(Let us know if you want these guys on shirts, mugs, stickers, and more!)
