If a dinosaur had to be picked to rival the tyrannosaurus, torvosaurus is most certainly a contender. With a name that means "savage lizard", torvosaurus is a massive, voracious hunter with a giant head and strong claws. This is a hunter that regularly competes with the infamous allosaurus. A large megalosaur with a nasty attitude, many poachers in the Arkamata region have fallen prey to a torvosaurus. The torvosaurus is well known for its determination, stalking one prey item for weeks. Daorth Maelul, the infamous elvish big game hunter, once encountered a torvosaurus after he brought down a ceratosaurus on Kaiser's Ridge near Mount Gorepath. He was field dressing the ceratosaurus with his companion, General Alkolon Greyviious. The two men were just finishing up and about to deploy the flare to signal, when the two men were ambushed by a wandering torvosaurus buck (male) who smelled the kill. Unfortunately, Greyviious was not lucky and was taken by it, still kicking and screaming. He never made it out of there alive. Maelul tracked the torvosaurus to its lair shot at the creature three times before eventually being forced to flee. Maelul tried to get back to civilization with what was left of his ceratosaurus, but all the men abandoned him when they heard that he injured a torvosaurus without killing it, as that is a death omen. Eventually, the torvosaurus caught up with Maelul and ripped him to shreds on the cold Autumn night of October 31. The only remains recovered were his clothes delicately piled beside the stream below the torvosaurus's lair and what has been presumed to be his crushed up skeleton. |
