Description
Here you see two of the largest Dinosaurs from Hell creek, The exactly three horned wonder, and the King of the king lizards.(I didn't name them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) The chart may appear to be based on The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs documentary, however it is not. (if I were to make a chart like that it would include birds as well as Bill Oddie).I don't have much to say on these two, both are very well known. All the trivia I can really provide is the color inspirations. (which are specific to my reconstructions)
Triceratops: No particular inspiration for it's colors. It does have little bumps on parts of it's keratin coated frill though.(inspired by the bumps on the bases of deer antlers)
Tyrannosaurus: Colors inspired by American Aligators, some brown bears, and a Swanson's Hawk.

Why doesn't anyone use Triceratops Horridus that often anymore? I grew up with it.

i think the "The Isle" uses T.Horridus if that helps
but yeah i have noticed the dip in popularity too

because saurian brought fourth prorsus into the spotlight
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
that is probably the most likely reason
also isn't Prorsus a bit larger than Horridus? because that could be a small reason why too

*googles it*
going off this Prorsus is larger yet again i don't know how accurate/up to date it is

Holy shit, I just realized how slim the rex here compared to your other rexes.

the thing is it's neck is horizontal making it longer by comparison

I'm always kind of confused because in different size charts T.rex is always a different size(I'm not talking about outdated or awsomebro charts though).

I await the day when I see a Tyrannosaurus better and more gorgeous than this one.

To be fair, a king is not always a tyrant and a tyrant is not always a king

I do think the alternate translation of it's name fits it better, it is the king of the king lizards (tyrannosaurs)
.....and now that I think of it, both translations apply just as much.

"Tyranno" directly means Tyrant though...

"The phrase meaning "tyrant lizard", from the Ancient Greek tyrannos (τύραννος), "tyrant", and sauros (σαῦρος), "lizard" is misleading, if not plainly wrong. "Tyrannos" did not mean "Tyrant" but "King", as can be seen in the Tyrant article from Wikipedia. If you follow the reference mark for the binomial name of the saurus, it is discussed the "rex" part using "Oedipus Rex" ("Oedipus the King") when the original title was "Οἰδίπους Τύραννος" (Oidipous Tyrannos), and was translated both to Latin and to English as "King", not "Tyrant". Furthermore, Osborn, who named T. Rex, only wrote I propose to make this animal the type of the new genus Tyrannosaurus, in reference to its size, which greatly exceeds that of any carnivorous land animal hitherto described, which clearly points to the hierarchy of the animal due to its size, and not to its illegitimacy as a ruler."en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tyr…
just so you know my source read beyond the first sentence.
