History Webcomic / Poharex

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Besides Todor the ''Ornitholestes'', the series features several obscure prehistoric animals like ''Therizinosaurus'' and chalicotheres.

* TyrannosaurusRex: Isn't it obvious?

Poharex, a Tyrannosaurus with a DarkAndTroubledPast had left his homeland -where he had been enslaved for many years- to seek a new beginning in [[LostWorld Mesociam]]: a promised land where, supposedly, dinosaurs still exist.
He makes it ashore, only to find out he got more than he bargained for; [[HereThereBeDragons there be dinosaurs here,]] alright, but even here they are enslaved -- this time to a giant snake named Darrakith and his smaller serpentine minions.

The series follows Poharex and his friends: The cynic stegosaurus [[TheBigGuy Eperok]], the wise old diplodocus Etelnaal and the mechanical genius, yet slightly deranged ornitholestes [[TheSmartGuy Todor]] as they travel across the land, solve problems and fight the most bizarre enemies, from [[PrehistoricMonster prehistoric monsters]] to humans and alien abominations, as well as dealing with their own personal life issues(and dinosaurs have more of these than you'd think).

* ADayInTheLimelight: Todor and Eperok in Issue 6.

* FantasticFruitsAndVegetables: The Blue Fruit, highly-addictive but toxic fruit which cause madness, and eventually, paralysis.

* MisplacedWildlife and AnachronismStew: Mesociam is inhabited by creatures from all eras and continents.

* StockDinosaurs: Most of the main cast is this. Subverted with Todor, who is an ornitholestes - a non-stock dinosaur.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Soraya.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Indeed.

* HollywoodCyborg: Leay is one.

* MonsterLord

* WarmUpBoss: Darrakith, a giant serpent who's been enslaving dinosaurs; and meets a grisly (but well-deserved) end at the hands of Poharex. [[spoiler: or not.]]

* AntiVillain: General Frostheart and the Warmblood Alliance. Their sole purpose is to maintain the balance of the Tohu Plateau and protect the mammals and birds from the humans. They antagonized Poharex because they mistook him for a mammal and considered him a traitor when he politely refused their offer to join them.

* CarnivoreConfusion: In Mesociam, dinosaurs do not prey on each other, and herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs live together in near-perfect harmony. The meat-eaters may hunt almost any animal that isn't a dinosaur, though.
** [[AxCrazy Karro]] seems to be an exception to this. [[spoiler:It is later revealed he was working for Monkeypuzzle.]]

* EverythingsWorseWithBears: General Frostheart, the militant leader of the Warmblood Alliance, is a short-faced bear. However, he is not evil. Just doesn't tolerate traitors.

* RaptorAttack: The ''Achillobator'' from Issue 3 is correctly depicted with feathers. The pink and green raptors who were former bullies of Todor lack feathers, however.

* AnimalJingoism -- Dinosaurs and Rakair are mortal enemies.

* LaResistance -- Etelnaal was in charge of one during the first story arc.
* LargeAndInCharge -- Darrakith, the Conundra Queen, the Plaguemaster.

* PatchworkMap -- The desert region of Asselia is surrounded by jungles from almost every direction(except east, where there's the ocean).
* ScaledUp -- Darrakith and his lieutenants are the purest incarnations of this trope; they don't turn into snakes, they ARE giant snakes. [[SpikesOfDoom With horns.]]
* SpaceRomans -- WordOfGod has it that the anthrosaur inhabitants of Porculaneum are descended from Roman colonists who arrived in Mesociam in ancient times.
* StockDinosaurs -- Most of the main cast is this. Subverted with Todor, who is an ornitholestes - a non-stock dinosaur.
* TyrannosaurusRex -- Isn't it obvious?
