The Duo

Tropes applying to them both

Two unlikely friends, a caveman and a tyrannosaur who team up after losing their respective families.

---

• Blue-and-Orange Morality: While Spear and Fang are the protagonists and are largely portrayed as positive or well meaning, they do not possess a code of right and wrong comparable to the modern day. Killing is a necessity and there's no distinction made between killing an animal (which may even possess sapience) or killing a human. Spear shows zero hesitation in killing a Viking when threatened and carves through scores of them brutally in defense of himself, Fang, Mira and the slaves. Fang may not view humans as an immediate food source like Red does, but she isn't concerned about killing them if they threaten her or her loved ones (while she hesitates when Red is hunting the Celts, she instantly attacks one that spears him). During the Viking fight she rips, crushes or outright swallows dozens of attackers. Yet both are capable of empathy and even altruism understandable to modern eyes, from Spear being willing to rush to the aid of strangers being torn apart by the Night Feeder to both being willing to cross an ocean to save a friend they only recently met.
• Bonding over Missing Parents: Inverted. The thing that bonded Spear (a caveman) and Fang (a tyrannosaur) was that they both lost their families (to the same specific predator, no less). One day while hunting for food for his family, Spear hears screaming and runs to see his wife and children being eaten alive by a pack of Horned Tyrannosaurs. Then after some time has past, he sees the same Horned Tyrannosaurs attacking Fang and her babies. Spear steps in and teams up with Fang to fight them. When it appears that they have slain all the Horned Tyrannosaurs, Fang's babies come and gently play with Spear's hair. Then the Horned Tyrannosaurus alpha appears and before Spear or Fang can do anything, it eats Fang's babies alive, to their shock and horror. Spear and Fang fight together and kill the alpha. Neither of them are satisfied, having both failed to protect their families. Fang just lays down while Spear sadly walks away. Later, while walking on a beach, Spear sees Fang following him, and after a moment of consideration, Spear accepts Fang, and the two head off into the night as a new family.
• Commonality Connection: They're both parents who lost their families to the same predators (Fang lost her babies while Spear lost both his children and his mate). Realizing this brings them together.
• Enemy Mine: Other than losing their family, the only thing the two have in common is that they're alone in a world full of predators that wish to kill them. It's more than enough for them to stay loyal.
• Everyone Has Standards: They will ferociously fight and kill to survive, but they both have a dim view towards excessive cruelty. This is first shown in their conflict against the Night Feeder, and more so in season 2 where they run afoul of decadent human civilizations that oppress and enslave others.
• Fire-Forged Friends: At first they had issues that almost led them to fight over dominance, but after enough time together while saving each other, now they would do anything to protect one another. Ironically it would be fighting a fire spewing demonic herald that would end the friendship but they were together every step of the way.
• Interspecies Friendship: A primitive human and an intelligent Tyrannosaurus brought together by shared loss.
• Made a Slave: As of "The Colossaeus, Part I", due to the Egyptian Queen holding Fang's newborn eggs hostage.
• Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: In their original homeland, they're formidable but not unbeatable as they've nearly been overwhelmed and killed by some of the creatures living there such as the giant spider, the Plague Monster and the Night Feeder but when they find themselves in the humans lands where deadly megafauna seem less abundant, they're damn near unstoppable.
• One-Man Army: As long as they aren't up against truly unbeatable or supernatural opponents, they are capable of holding their own against scores of enemies. They kill hoards of vicious creatures in their homeland and once they encounter the advanced human civilizations, they prove to be capable of eliminating huge numbers in short order.
• Outliving One's Offspring: Both of their respective families were slaughtered by the same pack of tyrannosaurs.
• Outside-Genre Foe: To the human civilizations. While dinosaurs and other large animals do live in amongst them, they seem to be much fewer in number and the vast majority of conflict is between humans, whether they be Viking raiders, Egyptian invaders or various other human cultures. In comparison, Spear and Fang come from a much more brutal environment and not only display feats of strength well beyond what the vast majority of humans would ever encounter but they are highly adaptive, ruthless fighters. The combination means that the two of the are enough to wipe out a village of hardened Vikings in a night, breach the walls of a Babylonian city and alongside the giant Kamau, lay waste to numerous cities across the world. Only supernatural foes are guaranteed to be too much for them.
• Platonic Life-Partners: Theirs is a non-romantic relationship but either would die to save the other without hesitation, and they are lifelong friends who love each other fiercely. While Spear feels isolated by Fang having children and Mira returning home, Fang's actions shows he's nothing to worry about about as she promptly breaks through a stonewall to share a home with him in Mira's village.
• Poor Communication Kills: Their ability to communicate is functional but limited, as it mostly relies on vocal tone and bodily gestures to convey simple messages and concepts. Fang being unable to fully articulate how she sees and is a bit disturbed by a number of pikes that have skulls mounted on them that Spear doesn't notice factors in to how the Ape-Men in the area manage to kidnap Mira in the first season finale.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: They're joined at the hip but frequently quarrel, in a combination of wordless shouts and the occasional shove or slap. Despite this, they're incredibly loyal to each other and either would die or kill for the other.

Spear

Voiced by: Aaron LaPlante, Noah Bentley (young)

A prehistoric hunter who goes on a journey after losing his family.

---

• Action Dad: He was this before his children died. A flashback shows he taught his son how to hunt.
• All Cavemen Were Neanderthals: He looks like a stereotypical Neanderthal-like caveman with a bulky physique, hunched posture, thick arms, and enormous fists, as well as thick brows and a flat forehead. He also seems to have Super-Strength, considering he fights animals far larger than him with his bare hands. His characterization, however, is decidedly unstereotypical, being a rare example of a Neanderthal-like character who is treated by the story as a connectable person with feelings rather than as a simple brute or the butt of a joke. With the introduction of Mira and other modern humans, it's heavily suggested that he really is a Neanderthal.
• Anti-Hero: He brutally kills his opponents, but considering that this is a dog-eat-dog world where our moral standards don't exist yet, it's justified for his situation. Spear is even shown preparing to attack Fang and her family before being interrupted by the horned tyrannosaurs. He does have an altruistic side, however, as he returns the old mammoth's tusk to its herd and he saves one of the cave-dwellers and the food he was bringing despite it putting him at risk.
• Barbarian Hero: He's a heavily ripped hunter-gatherer from an uncivilized world who doesn't even have a language he can speak, and he's often able to fight creatures that dwarf him in size and strength, and prevail. This becomes more prevalent in the second season when he starts encountering more civilized humans and proves time and time again to be a superior warrior to all of them.
• Barbarian Longhair: Spear sports shoulder-long black hair, and he's a powerful, savage hunter struggling to survive in a primordial world.
• Beat Them at Their Own Game: He defeats Krog by drinking the same Super Serum that made Krog into a gargantuan ape-man, turning into a giant himself than making mincemeat out of Krog and the rest of the ape-men.
• The Berserker: It is not a good idea to enrage Spear as he will be roiling with pure brutality and aggression towards his enemies. This in turn causes him to become very ferocious in battle as he often became a force to be reckoned with when angered. Played straight when he drinks the Ape Man serum where he goes into full-on beast mode and absolutely massacres any ape in his way. Played very straight and very tragically when the vikings drive him and Fang into a corner, causing the pair to fall into a blind rage and wipe out the entire village.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows: His eyebrows are noticeably bushy and large. They're possibly big intentionally to signify his non-verbal emotions more clearly.
• Blood-Splattered Warrior: After killing the entire tribe of Ape-Men, he emerges from the corpses covered in blood. He later ends up covered in blood, both his own and that of the wild dogs that were attacking him and Fang.
• Brains and Brawn: Played with. Neither of the main characters are either particularly dumb or weak but while Spear is strong, he relies on his weaponry and innovation in combat more than brute strength. In many cases, his brute strength allows him to exercise even more of his brainpower, like ripping the tooth out of a tyrannosaur's head to stab it, or hauling a T-Rex across the landscape with a makeshift stretcher. A lot of his strategies simply wouldn't work if he weren't insanely strong to begin with.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: It doesn't get shown too often, what with everything trying to kill him and having to hunt, but Spear has shown to be an affable man outside of that. He was a loving father to his children, briefly bonded with Fang's hatchlings, allowed her to follow him in mutual grief for their lost families, showed remorse in killing an elderly mammoth for food and clothing, returned its tusk to its herd, and saved a cave dweller despite having no reason to. He even has a willingness to save those who he hears the cries of. Such as when he hears the blood curdling screams from a Ceratopsian herd as they're being butchered by The Night Feeder, readying himself to charge to their aid, only to be stopped by Fang. He then shows genuine sorrow and regret when he sees the aftermath of the creature's carnage, failing to save them. He's also quick to show Mira he means no harm, lowering his weapon and making a fire for them to rest. When he's taken in by the Celtic tribe, he shows a playful attitude toward the Chief's daughter and is unhesitant in putting his life on the line to protect them. And when he realizes that Fang is preparing to lay eggs after mating with Red, he gets absolutely giddy about it and tries his best to help her build a nest and guard the eggs.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: Spear demonstrates almost superhuman-level feats of strength at times. Probably the most prominent example in the very first episode is when he throws his spear straight through a fully-grown T. Rex like a bullet. Though he was in a full Unstoppable Rage at the time. He later, with the aid of a sled, drags Fang an undisclosed but seeming considerable distance in search of a safe place for her to heal. The bumper before the episode points out Fang weighs about 10 tonnes.
• Classical Hunter: His life revolves around game hunting for survival and he lives his life in tune with nature.
• Combat Pragmatist: If his trademark spear isn't available to him, he'll use rocks or whatever else nearby he can get his hands on.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Spear watched his father get butchered by smilodons as a child. He later lost his wife and children to Horned Tyrannosaurus, causing him to fall into a deep depression and almost commit suicide.
• Death Glare: This neanderthal can deliver some of the most threatening and irritated expressions. He's even hatefully glanced at Fang whilst gritting his teeth right at her in River of Snakes at one point. Whenever he shifts into this look, it would be wise enough not to directly piss him off.
• Despair Event Horizon: After losing his wife and kids to a pack of horned T. rex, Spear climbs a tall cliff and ponders whether or not he should just step off of it. He ultimately doesn't go through, but he did spend many hours at the edge of the cliff thinking about if he should.
• Due to the Dead: He makes a habit of comforting his prey during their final moments if he's given the opportunity to.
• Empowered Badass Normal: When he realizes that Krog outmatches him in size and strength, the only way he'll save Fang from getting killed was by drinking all of the black liquid the Ape Shaman originally held. Spear mutates into a massive and brutish humanoid monstrosity that not only increased his strength to slaughter Krog but the entirety of the ape tribe with his bare hands.
• Extreme Omnivore: He's shown eating quite a wide variety of critters in the show. Truth in Television, as actual hunter gatherers can't afford to be picky about their diet, and in fact humans in general play this trope pretty strongly compared to other animals. Funnily enough, it later turns out that his limit is spiced food, which humans invented to make what he typically eats more palatable.
• Fantastic Racism: In the first episode, he decides to try and kill Fang, not because she's a threat, but because she's a dinosaur similar to the dinosaurs that killed and ate his family. He does change his mind about her when he sees that she has a family of her own, which then at that second becomes threatened by the very same Tyrannosaurs that ate his family. Possibly at play in his conflict with Red as he is also a red faced man-eating tyrannosaur.
• Fatal Flaw: Anger. While much of the time he is able to check his rage and use his head to solve problems, occasionally he gets so furious he flails whatever object he is holding at the time, or charges at enemies recklessly, which leaves him vulnerable. Notably, his fight with Fang in River of Snakes shows how her constant stealing of his food leading up to the fight caused him to act much more frantic than usual, charging headlong at her several times. Coupled with his at-the-time present resentment for the dinosaurs which had killed his family, he was so wrapped up in rage that he abandoned the maneuverability he usually uses to his advantage against large monsters, and Fang quite easily could have killed him when he jumped right toward ​her mouth in an attempt to hit her.
• Force and Finesse: The finesse to Fang's force. His fighting style frequently involves the application of innovation and skill whether by his huge athleticism or inventive tactics. By virtue of many of his opponents being bigger and stronger than he is, he also is more defensive, avoiding and dodging attacks much more frequently than Fang.
• Gadgeteer Genius: By hunter-gatherer standards, at least. In Episode 3 he fashions a yoke out of mammoth parts, which logically shouldn't be invented until the domestication of oxen, and in Episode 6 he constructs a sort of one-man gurney/sled out of bamboo.
• Genius Bruiser: He has the intelligence that comes with being a human—he primarily communicates in unsophisticated grunts and obviously doesn't have a scientific understanding of the world around him, but he's by no means stupid and demonstrates impressive problem-solving skills and improvisational inventiveness throughout the series, such as building a sleigh when he realizes that dragging a heavy load behind him by hand is just tiring him out and even making knuckle-dusters from spiky insect shells. He's also strong enough to kill a Tyrannosaurus rex using only his spear and a large stone, and that's just one of his early feats of superhuman strength.
• Good Parents: He was a loving father to his children, which made their deaths devastating for him.
• The Hero Dies: Succumbs to his burn wounds after fighting the demonically empowered Chieftain.
• Heroic Willpower: Spear not only manages to roll a multi-ton dinosaur onto a stretcher, he then carries it an unspecified but long distance in search of safety. He only stops because his hands are so blistered and bruised he literally can't lift it anymore.
• Hidden Depths: Spear is a powerful warrior with a tenacious will to survive. In quiet moments, he tends to enjoy cave painting and shadow puppetry.
• History Repeats: Spear's father died protecting him from saber tooth tigers. Spear dies protecting Fang's new children from the empowered Chieftain.
• HULK MASH!-Up: In the fifth episode, "Rage of the Ape-Men", Spear drinks a sip of the ape-men's potion and turns into a blue-skinned, muscle-bound giant who goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
• Hulking Out: In the fifth episode he drinks all of the ape-men's potion, turning him into a rampaging monster looking like a prehistoric version of The Incredible Hulk.
• Instant Expert: Part of what makes him so formidable is his sheer speed in adapting to new weapons and fighting techniques. After a minute or so with a new weapon, he'll quickly be massacring opponents who have been trained for years to use them.
• Interspecies Friendship: He's a Neanderthal who is friends with Fang, a tyrannosaur. He later befriends Mira and Kamau, who are a different species or subspecies of human.
• Interspecies Relationship: Downplayed with him and Mira, but he's a Neanderthal (either a closely related species to or separate subspecies of human) while Mira is a standard human. Truth in Television as well, as we know that Neanderthals and Modern Humans did breed with each other before Neanderthals in general went extinct.
• I Will Tear Your Arms Off: A non-verbal way in his hulking monstrous state in Rage of the Ape-Men, where he literally does the deed to Krog as he gruesomely rips off both of his arms, and uses said arms as "clubs" to clobber the once powerful ape champion into nothing but a bloody pile of flesh.
• Javelin Thrower: Naturally. He is very skilled in spear fighting up close, but he is very accurate when it comes to throwing his spear.
• The Juggernaut: After he drinks all of he ape men's potion. Krog, who had just inflicted a Curb-Stomp Battle on Fang, can't do any real damage to Spear before he rips the ape's arms off and beats him to death with them.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: While extremely courageous, in response to certain targets Spear will decide simply to flee, and for good reason. So far these have been limited to the infected Sauropod, which was so massive he and Fang had no chance to win, and the Coven of the Damned, which wielded powers outside his and Fang's comprehension, making them far too risky to challenge.
• Last of His Kind: Word of God reveals that Spear was in fact the very last pure-blooded Neanderthal in existence.
• Low-Tech Spears: Spear, a caveman who mostly communicates in grunts and screams, uses a wooden spear with a stone tip as his primary weapon apart from clubs and rocks.
• Made of Iron: When Fang is hit by the Chieftain's flames and left screaming, he's distraught and charges in a rage. He takes a full blast...and powers through on sheer primal fury, knocking the possessed Viking down a cliffside, beating him down every step of the way.
• Man on Fire: His body becomes painfully scorched ALL over with hellfire, but instead of recoiling in agony, this only made Spear even more livid than before as he assaults the demonic Chieftain with his flaming body to give him a taste of his fury.
• Man Bites Man: In a fight Spear will make use of whatever is available to win, even if it's something as basic as biting his opponent as hard as he can. His jaws are strong enough to rip a significant chunk of flesh from the wrist of a viking. Spear ultimately defeats the Viking Chieftain by biting the Chieftain’s hand, forcing the Chieftain to release his grip on the rope he was using to hold himself onto his airborne mount, giving Spear the opportunity to throw him off.
• Manly Tears:
  • It's mainly subverted in the first episode, Spear wasn't visibly sobbing but instead sniffles after seeing his family devoured by the horned tyrannosaurs.
  • At the beginning of Scent of Prey, he actually does shed tears. His grieving was so emotionally distressing, he lets out a mournful Skyward Scream when he assumed that Fang passed away from her injuries...only to figure out that she's still alive, but was in no condition to actually move.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Spear can be extremely vicious, but there are moments where even he is ashamed of what he does:
  • He seems to have this reaction when the horned tyrannosaurs attack Fang and her chicks, making him realize he was about to kill a completely innocent party in his quest for revenge.
  • He's shocked by his absolute slaughter of the ape-men.
  • He shows remorse over Red's death after realizing Fang's connection with him.
  • Spear is ashamed when he accidentally kills Rikka's younger son. Unfortunately, the Vikings continuing to attack him forces an Ignored Epiphany, and he ends up helping Fang slaughter them in their entirety.
• Never Given a Name: Spear isn't actually called that in-story. He doesn't even understand what a name is until Mira conveys the concept to him.
• Nice Guy: Outside of the hunt, Spear is actually a pretty decent guy for his time, seen best with his interactions with Fang and Mira. Even when on the hunt, he has no true hatred for what he kills, and is even shown to be respectful towards the creatures he kills for food.
• Noble Savage: He might be the poster child of this trope. He's a primitive hunter-gatherer who, due to living in an inhospitable land filled with predators and things even worse, has to resort to brutal violence quite often, but he's also shown to be intelligent, compassionate, and caring towards those he holds dear.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Spear is normally extremely courageous, charging into battle with animals many times his size and coming up on top. He's absolutely terrified of the plagued Argentinosaurus and spends almost the entire episode in fear from it since neither he nor Fang can do a damn thing to the creature and their only option is to Run or Die.
• One Head Taller: Inverted with him and Mira. He's a short, stout neanderthal; while she's a tall modern human.
• One-Man Army: Even without Fang to assist him, he can be extremely effective fighting hordes of enemies by himself and live to grunt the tale.
• One-Word Vocabulary: Mira's name is the only word he ever learns to use, uttering it in the last moment of Season 1 and continuing to speak it now and then throughout Season 2. As humans in this universe seem to primarily rely on non-verbal communication, this hasn't posed much of a problem to him.
• Papa Wolf: His attempt to save his family from the tyrannosaurs proved to be futile. However, he is more than willing to put his life on the line for Fang's new babies.
• Real Men Eat Meat: Curiously, his onscreen diet is almost entirely carnivorous. Only twice does he attempt to eat vegetation, neither attempt being successful (the first time he tries to get some fruit from a tree, but Fang of all creatures eats the fruit before he can. Later he's offered a stewed tuber of some sort by Mira, reacting to it with confusion and unfamiliarity, spitting out his first bite in disgust).
• Running on All Fours:
  • On occasion he'll likely alternate his usual running by lowering himself to the ground by sprinting with his hands and feet just like how a gorilla runs. He tends to run like this when he's enraged.
  • In Slave of the Scorpion, after having a taste of Mira's food, he comically tosses it away and goes back to his own food by crawling away offscreen on all fours.
• Speaks Fluent Animal: It's highly possible that he's been around Fang as a personal companion for so long now that he can basically flat-out "communicate" with her. Whenever she growls or roars at him, Spear clearly understands her on a personal level since he usually replies to her with many various grunts of inflection. Because of how both Spear and Fang are capable of communicating with each other, it's almost as if the 2 of them are having a "conversation."
• Screaming Warrior: He charges into fights with a roar. Sometimes does this even outside of fights as a sign of frustration.
• Second Love: He becomes this for Mira, who had lost her previous lover in the Viking-attack that initially enslaved her (which ultimately led to her meeting Spear and Fang). Mira even ends up bearing him a child.
• Signature Move:
  • Throwing his spear - he cuts, stabs, and slices with it as well, but when he throws it, it's always a special moment of awesome.
  • When he does not have his spear, he will pick up a large rock and attack with it, usually at the leg of the enemy he's fighting. It's not usually a fatal move, but a disabling one that either slows down his enemies, or lets him figure out what they're vulnerable to.
• Silent Snarker: Spear can convey some truly withering snark with a trademark exasperated look, usually directed at Fang when she annoys him.
• Stout Strength: Seemingly downplayed. It's not that Spear isn't actually fat or obese in anyway shape or form, it's just that he has more of a widened and typically natural broader and muscular build in a way as how male neanderthals are usually drawn. His own bulk doesn't even slow him down in the slightest whenever he's on the move and makes great practical use of his strength when it comes to facing prehistoric creatures that dwarf him in size and power.
• Suddenly Speaking: At the end of the Season 1 finale, he says his first word.
  Spear: Mira.
• Super-Strength: This neanderthal has the absurd strength to not only grab a rock to break a tyrannosaur's ankle but he can also toss his spear dozens of yards away to pierce the flesh into said tyrannosaur's chest, puncture through boars, and impale giant bats. Whenever his weapon isn't useful or out of reach, he'll usually resort to using rocks such as when he battered the elderly mammoth to death after many physical strikes, although Fang did assist him by having the animal pinned down, making it easier for him to land the finishing blow. In River of Snakes; he used broken tree branches to hit Fang hard enough to make her wince in pain. In Terror Under the Blood Moon, he yanked off a horn of a triceratops to impale an enormous spider to save Fang from getting killed by it. Scent of Prey shows off his biggest feat of strength yet, where after creating a makeshift stretcher for Fang to lie on, while Spear does strain himself to move her body onto it, he does however manage to drag her for possibly miles, although carrying her for extended did exhaust him. After fastening himself to the stretcher akin to a harness, he's shown to have a less difficult time moving her around and didn't show any signs of exhaustion after that. He can also effortlessly carry stones that are slightly larger than his body to protect her from getting eaten by the wild dogs. His own jaw strength is nothing sneeze at either. While his nowhere near as physically devastating as Fang's, it did become practical for him in combat such as one moment in the episode The Red Mist, where he tore off apart of a viking's hand with nothing but his teeth. In The Colossaeus Part 1, he's even dealt damage to Kamau, who's a humungous man with monstrous strength, by pounding into his body and biting him with enough force to make him bleed. Before that, right when Mira jammed two of her arrows into Kamau's back, Spear grabbed ahold of his giant ankle and absolutely floors him with no effort at all. Another jaw-dropping feat of his beyond-human strength that he's amazingly shown in The Colossaeus Part 3', the heavy cinder block that's heavily attached to his handcuffs was forcefully dredged out of the floor and makes an Improvised Weapon out of it by swinging it around like a cubicle flail of sorts to attack and kill most of Ima's servants. After Mira frees Spear from his bindings, he begins his onslaught against more of the Egyptian soldiers that were forced to attack him by striking them with his fists as one of them was even seen getting sent flying from his physical blows. By the time he fights the empowered Viking Chieftain for the final time in Echoes of Eternity, right after fully ignoring his painful hellfire through sheer primal and fury, he's tumbled and tackled the demon off a cliffside and starts relentlessly wailing on him with punch after punch to his face until he couldn't even move anymore from the remaining burns scorching a majority of his body.
• Throw-Away Guns: Does this with his spears, which he can make more of with relative ease. But he also does this with swords, which he can't.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: The "Tiny" Guy to Fang's Huge Girl. Though he's a buff Neanderthal, he's shorter than the average human and is of course much smaller than a T. rex.
• Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Well, he and Mira probably would've fully become this had Spear not sustained mortal injuries fighting the empowered Chieftain, but they do conceive a child together before Spear dies and Spear is a classic stout Neanderthal in appearance while Mira is a conventionally attractive tall woman. It's especially pronounced when they finally consummate their relationship, as Spear is completely covered in horrific burn scars by that point.
• Unstoppable Rage:
  • When Spear finds the T.rexes that killed his family he utterly lets loose all of his rage and frustration to where he was able to kill them despite him fighting full-grown dinosaurs.
  • During the Ape Man trials when he sees his companion Fang being beaten almost to near death, he downs the entirety of the Apes's serum and transforms into a hulking blueish monster who literally destroys their champion by beating him with his own severed limbs and proceeds to kill every last of the tribe in an extremely bloody rampage.
  • After seeing Red eat some of the tribe that took him in, Spear will not be dissuaded from trying to kill him, no matter how much Fang tries to get between them.
  • Battling a tribe of Vikings who refuse to let up on him, he's driven deeper and deeper into a rage, before eventually snapping and slaughtering the whole tribe alongside Fang.
• Vengeance Feels Empty: He avenged his family by killing the tyrannosaurs responsible. But if his sloping to the ground immediately afterwards is any indication, he felt no joy in it.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: He spends most of the show wearing only a loincloth. The only exception is "A Cold Death", where he crafts a vest out of mammoth fur to avoid being Exposed to the Elements.
• Walking the Earth: Having achieved his joint revenge with Fang in the very first episode, Spear spends most of Season 1 traveling alongside the dinosaur with no real goal or destination in mind. The pair attempt to settle down during Rage of the Ape-Men, but their near-demise at the hands of the eponymous tribe spook them enough that they decide to keep moving indefinitely.
• Weak, but Skilled: He is by no means weak, but as a human faced with the larger prehistoric monsters of his time he's forced to rely on attacking their blind spots, using nearby objects as weapons, or teaming up with Fang to win against them. Special mention should also be given to his skillfulness with his spear. Whether it be accuracy and power in his throws that let him take down tyrannosaurs or his abilities in close combat, being able to dodge, thrust, and cut to kill many different types of monster, Spear's namesake weapon and skill with it is a strong showcase for the human ability to overcome the primal wilderness. Becomes Strong and Skilled when up against other humans, as he's a talented and vicious fighter with strength surpassing any of the Homo sapiens he goes up against.
• When He Smiles: Spear is usual grim-faced and frowning but when he smiles, it's a beautiful thing. He also has a pre-asskicking smile that usually relates to him realizing whoever thinks they're just taking him on are in for a big surprise.
• Would Hurt a Child: Played with. While he normally won't intentionally kill a child, he has no problem knocking one off a building or backhanding them in the face if they attack him. When Rikka's son jumps on him he throws him off with such force, the child is killed instantly when he hits a rock upon landing. Spear is so horrified, he is snapped out of his rage. Unfortunately the unrelenting Vikings don't let up and he's quickly driven to the brink, snapping and killing the whole village, presumably either directly or indirectly (as they won't last long without parents) including any children present during the attack.
• Wrestler of Beasts: Spear lives in a primordial world full of Prehistoric Monsters, and often ends up facing them in melee combat. He manages to slay beasts far larger than himself due to sheer persistence and innovative use of tools and the environment.

Fang

A female Tyrannosaurus who befriends Spear after she also loses her family.

---

• Accidental Murder: She didn't intend on having Red get impaled on a stake, but at the time she didn't know of any other way to save Spear besides knocking him off the cliff. She rather clearly regretted how everything ended up.
• Action Girl: Fang is a ferocious T. rex who can easily rip her opponents to shreds. She’s also tough to boot, able to take multiple hits and still stand her ground.
• Action Mom:
  • She doesn't hold anything back when she and her babies were being confronted by the horned tyrannosaurs. Her parental instinct is what made Spear realize that she's no different when it comes to defending her young from predators when Spear himself failed to do. Unfortunately she's no longer this when her babies were devoured by the alpha.
  • Brought back in full force when her twin hatchlings are born, and is as fierce as ever.
• All Animals Are Dogs: Zig-Zagged, while Fang does do some dog-like things (putting her face in Spear's to sniff his food and laying down like one), the show never makes one forget that Fang is very intelligent and a large carnivorous dinosaur that is Spear's equal rather than a pet.
• Alternate Animal Affection: Or rather, expression. Fang obviously cannot speak, but none the less is able to understand Spear very well, and has moments of snarkiness and sass as well as affection and loyalty to Spear.
• Animals Lack Attributes: While she plays this straight most of the time, this is averted in "Vidarr", where we are treated to a close-up shot of Fang laying eggs, complete with a detailed view of her cloaca.
• Artistic License – Paleontology: After Fang lays her second clutch of eggs, she's occasionally seen sitting on top of her nest in the manner of a modern bird. Needless to say, this is highly unlikely for real tyrannosaurs on account of their mass alone, and they likely covered their nests in varying layers of soil and/or vegetation to regulate their temperature instead.
• Big Eater: Whenever food is involved, chances are that she'll tend to chow down a lot more than Spear (even on some fruit he finds!). Justified, as she's a much larger creature that would naturally require a lot more food and energy to stay alive than Spear.
• Brains and Brawn: Played with. Fang displays near-human level intelligence but she is far more simple in her approach to situations than Spear. She makes up for this by being the notably more powerful of the pair.
• Cradling Your Kill: She indirectly causes Red's death in the episode Shadow of Fate after he was brutally skewered by a stalagmite in the Celtic village as a means of protecting Spear from him. In his final moments, Fang, riddled with nothing but guilt and regret for what she's done, soothes him as she's seen comforting her dying mate by nudging her snout around his face before walking away in utter sadness.
• The Comically Serious: Given her menacing appearance, it makes her reactions in more comedic situations all the funnier.
• Cowardly Lion: She's a fierce tyrannosaur and is normally anything but cowardly, but her near-death experience when fighting a giant snake gave her a phobia of anything snake-like so much that she runs in fear from a harmless earthworm.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: After she recovers in "Scent of Prey" she slaughters the pack of hyenas who had been chasing them, delivering such an asskicking that they all run away scared.
• Deuteragonist: She's this to Spear's protagonist. Spear is the main character whom the story focuses on, but Fang is his closest associate and companion during their journey.
• Dumb Dinos: Inverted; Fang is very intelligent.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • She's more selfish and callous than Spear is but when they come across the herd of uneaten dead sauropods, she's just as shocked and horrified as he is.
  • She also roars and walks away in disgust at Kamau being forced to kill defenseless villagers under the Queen's orders.
  • She's shocked when Red attacks and eats the Celts, refusing to do the same until they start attacking her and even then only to defend herself; she doesn't regard them as a meal the same way Red does. There's also an implication that she's never really hunted humans for food, given how ambivalent she seems to be around them when not being threatened or how her hatchlings don't regard Spear with any wariness or hostility. She is clearly considering eating Amara when she sees her but this is after months of having to kill and eat humans while fighting under Ima.
• Evil-Detecting Dog: Evil-Detecting Tyrannosaur in this case. She instantly senses something is wrong when they come across the dead sauropods, just the smell of them causing her shock.
• Force and Finesse: The force to Spear's finesse. 9 times out of 10 Fang's main tactic is to bulldoze into her enemies and overwhelm them with sheer power. This does not mean she is without skill, however; one of the main reasons she is so dangerous is she has a capacity for defense as well as offense. Against enemies that can do serious damage to her, she is capable of dodging, swerving, and avoiding their attacks. She recognizes Spear's weapons as capable of this, and in their bout for dominance in River of Snakes, uses his rage against him to goad him into attacking recklessly while she avoids his attacks.
• Gentle Giant: As strange as it may be, she can be very gentle when she wants, carrying an unconscious Spear out of a river in her mouth without harming him.
• Good Parents: She was shown to be a caring mother for her hatchlings. Just like with Spear, she was greatly saddened by their deaths. As such, she's very protective of her new hatchlings.
• Goomba Stomp: In Terror Under the Blood Moon, she (in an awesome/humorous fashion) leaps and crushes the spines of the giant red bats that were flying directly in her path, 3 times in a row.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: Fang's preferred method of killing human opponents is to simply bite them in half.
• Heroic Willpower: Seeing Spear's wounds from battling the hyenas, Fang tries to force herself to stand on her injured leg. He talks her down but she not only gets on her feet in time to save him, she manages to completely overwhelm the pack.
• Interspecies Friendship: She is a Tyrannosaurus who is friends with Spear, a caveman.
• It Can Think: It's made clear early on that Fang is very intelligent. She's emotive, stubborn, occasionally selfish, and capable of abstract thinking/planning.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Fang can be notably more selfish and willful than Spear, stealing his kills and leaving him to drag a large pile of meat that logically she would have a much easier time pulling (although this may be a case of her simply not understanding what Spear was trying to do, as he had probably only just invented the yoke then and there). That being said, she doesn't hesitate to risk her life to protect Spear and volunteered as a heat source to protect him from a freezing blizzard.
• Kill Steal: She devoured most of the boars Spear had hunted (that was clearly his food) in the second episode. Not only that but Fang also eats it practically right in front of his face.
• Lightning Bruiser: She's much larger and stronger than Spear, but is still just as fast as him.
• Made of Iron: Fang can take a serious beating and come back from it relatively uninjured. She's been crushed between two mammoths and body-slammed by a giant spider without serious injury. Her one-sided beating from the enhanced Krog left her near death, but she was back to fighting form in a period of days. Normal human weapons are indivudally almost useless against her, with her being able to take everything from a rain of arrows or an axe to the thigh without noticeable weakness. While they can seriously weaken her through blood loss, the sheer amount of hits she has to take to be serious is ridiculous and means she'll have slaughtered her attackers long before she has to worry. She even endures being set on fire by the resurrected Chieftain's fire attack!
• Mama Bear: Fang puts up a hard fight to protect her kids. She still fails. Season 2, however, has her produce another clutch and when they cry out for her upon hatching on the Egyptian ship, she smashes out of a metal cage and tears through an army of Egyptian warriors to get to them.
• Meaningful Name: She's named after the large snaggletooth in her lower jaw.
• Mighty Roar: Of course she has one, especially when she's ready for battle.
• Monster Is a Mommy: Well, she was. Spear first believes she's a bloodthirsty predator just like the dinosaurs that killed his family and wants to kill her, but seeing her babies makes him change his mind.
  • She becomes a mommy again in season 2.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
  • When she sniffs one of the dead sauropods, which would normally be food, she recoils in disgust and horror. She is also just as terrified of the plagued sauropod as Spear is.
  • Similarly, when they encounter a Saber-Tooth Cat's brutalized remains, she recognizes that a predator animal being killed so violently means something very, very dangerous is around, and she is adamant about keeping Spear away from the thing that did it.
  • She falls into a deep depression after Red's death, barely acknowledging Spear and ignoring food.
• Playing Possum: She does this to trick the giant bats into bringing her to their lair, where she knows Spear is.
• Pregnant Badass: Spends 3 episodes of Season 2 pregnant with Red's babies, not being deterred in her combat capacities in the slightest. She lays her eggs in the sixth episode.
• Sapient Steed: Fang has human level intelligence and emotions and is frequently ridden into battle by Spear. Unlike most examples, she is a fully equal partner who allows Spear to ride her because it makes them a more effective fighting team or because she's just better at traversing long distances. If she's not interested in carrying him, there's exactly squat he can do to make her.
• Shown Their Work: While there are equal amounts of Artistic License – Paleontology, Fang shows many characteristics that Tyrannosaurus really had:
  • Like all birds and reptiles, she has a cloaca.
  • Her eyes are facing forward instead of being on the side of her head like most theropods, giving her the binocular vision of modern day predators.
  • Her jaws are powerful enough to rip off another T. rex's snout and bite smaller creatures clean in half on a regular basis. Tyrannosaurus really did have a bite that strong.
  • Along with other tyrannosaurs in the series, she appears to be much smarter than other dinosaurs. While Fang's intelligence borders on human, recent studies suggest that Tyrannosaurus was probably one of the most intelligent non-avian dinosaurs, with current estimates comparing its intelligence to modern day wolves, and possibly even baboons.
  • She is shown to be Made of Iron, able to recover from beatings and injuries that would be lethal. Fossils have shown Tyrannosaurus have suffered grievous injuries and survived. For instance, the most famous specimen, Sue, had multiple life threatening injuries that all healed, and one of her femurs was so infected that it was almost twice as wide as it should have been, yet that still didn't kill her.
  • She is shown to be a capable swimmer, which is also shown in her second brood. This may have been the case for real-life tyrannosaurs, due to their hollow bones and powerful hindlegs.
• Someone to Remember Him By: Her relationship with Red led to her becoming pregnant but Red died before she laid their eggs.
• Stomach of Holding: In episode 2, she manages to save part of Spear's... spear, by swallowing it (presumably during the flood, although when she does this is unclear) and regurgitating it in front of him. Since neither of them can speak, offering him back his weapon she broke is an offering of peace to assure him they're on good terms again.
• Super Swimming Skills: She's a capable swimmer, both at the surface and underwater. For instance, in episode 2, during the flash flood, she's able to stay under for quite a while longer than Spear, who needs to resurface for air multiple times.
• Tail Slap: Whenever she's not using her jaws, Fang uses that tail of hers for good use in combat. Although trying to use her tail as a desperate attempt against Krog wasn't a good idea as he instantly caught it before breaking her leg. Used for comedic effect when Spear is trying to sneak her eggs into a boat, where after taking them back she promptly knocks him flat on his face.
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Her brow has ridges that evoke feminine eyelashes, and go up to a point in a similar shape to eyeshadow. Other than that, though, there's really no outward indication of her gender. She is also lacking the horns we see on the definitely male Red, her presumably male hatchling and the again presumably male horned tyrannosaurs.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: The Huge Girl to Spear's Tiny Guy.
• Too Unhappy to Be Hungry: Still stricken with grief from Red's death in Dawn of Man, she's spent most of her time unwilling to do anything by simply just lying down sulking in a cave. Even after Spear returned with a freshly killed deer for her to munch on, she opens her eye to look at it... only to solemnly close her eyes by not even bothering to eat.
• Trademark Favorite Food: She seems to have a fondness for fish, although she's not picky when it comes to eating other food.
• Unskilled, but Strong: Her main terms of fighting enemies is just to viciously bite into any creature Fang can get her jaws on until they bleed, or adding more weight to her attacks for highly damaging strikes. Fang is still an intelligent predator of her kind, however when it comes to battle she'll make sure to deliver all sorts of pain with her power. Highly justified since because she is a T. rex, is very large, and has her own natural weapons whilst her partner Spear is more adaptable and strategic to desperate situations.
• Your Size May Vary: All the animals in this series have fairly fluid sizes but Fang is the most egregious example given she's a main character. Her size changes constantly, not just episode to episode or scene to scene but shot to shot. Sometimes she's only 8 or 9 feet tall, in the next shot she dwarfs a real Tyrannosaurus. The general approach the show takes is that she's as big as the shot needs her to be. The only out of show statement on her size comes form an adultswim bumper saying she's 40 feet long and weighs 10 tonnes (approximately real T. rex size).
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Due to experiencing the river of snakes, Fang comes to fear snakes. So much so that she even gets scared of an earthworm (another legless creature) because it reminds her of a snake. Spear tries to show her there's nothing to fear, to no avail. He then proceeds to eat it.

Family members

Spear's Family

Spear's Original Family

Spear's wife, daughter, and son.

---

• Death by Origin Story: They die in the first few minutes of the first episode. Spear meets Fang in the first place because he mistakes her for one of the dinosaurs that killed his family, leading to the entire plot of the series.
• Death of a Child: Both of Spear's children are eaten by the horned tyrannosaurs.
• Not Enough to Bury: They are devoured whole by tyrannosaurs, leaving nothing but bloodstains on the grass.
• Nubile Savage: Spear's wife looks a lot more like a modern human compared to her Neanderthal-like husband, with an appearance very close to modern beauty standards (though still with a slightly hunched posture and thick, heavy eyebrows).

Spear's Father

Voiced by: Aaron LaPlante

The leader of a tribe of primitive cave-dwelling humans, and father to Spear.

---

• An Arm and a Leg: One of the sabre-tooth cats rips off his left arm before the rest of the group mauls him to death.
• Do Not Go Gentle: He puts up a good fight before the sabre-tooth cats finish him off by ganging up on him.
• Good Parents: What little we see of him has him showing Spear how to make cave art while lovingly patting his son on the head as he smiles up at him.
• Frazetta Man: Whereas Spear looks like a Neanderthal human, his father is visibly less evolved and practically resembles a gorilla from the neck up. He even has ape-like canines.
• Last Episode, New Character: He's introduced only in A Minor Kidroduction prologue of "Echoes of Eternity".
• Posthumous Character: Long dead by the start of the series.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: When angry his eyes turn red and his sclerae turn black.
• Unnamed Parent: Assuming he even has a name, he's only credited as "Spear's Dad".

Mira

See the Supporting Characters page under Friends and Allies - Season One.

Spear's Second Daughter (Unmarked Spoilers!)

Voiced by: Lilah Tartakovsky

Spear's second daughter, conceived by Mira on his deathbed.

---

• Disappeared Dad: Her father never lived to meet her.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Heavily Downplayed - she's the daughter of a Neanderthal and a Human, with Neanderthals either being a very closely related Hominid species from humans or a subspecies of the greater Homo sapiens species. Truth in Television as well, as it's well known that Neanderthals and Modern Humans were known to have interbred before the former went extinct.
• Heroic Bastard: Her parents were not married on the night of her conception.
• Last Episode, New Character: She makes her only appearance at the end of the Grand Finale after a Time Skip.
• Like Father, Like Son: A daughter variant. She is a wild haired spear wielder bonded to a female Tyrannosaurus.
• No Name Given: She's introduced in the last 10 seconds of season 2, silently interacting with her mother before shouting triumphantly upon one of Fang's children as her steed. As a result, her name is never given.
• Posthumous Sibling: She was born well after the deaths of her half siblings.
• Strong Family Resemblance: She has her mother's taller build and general features but her father's hair mixed with aspects of his facial structure.

Fang's Family

Fang's First Brood

Fang's two nestlings.

---

• Children Are Innocent: While they're afraid of Spear at first, once he helps Fang kill most of the attacking tyrannosaurs, they come over and play with him.
• Cute Little Fangs: Both of the baby tyrannosaurs sport a stubbier version of their mother's enlarged snaggletooth.
• Death of a Child: The two of them are eaten by the alpha tyrannosaur.
• Disappeared Dad: It's unclear what happened to their father/Fang's original mate, though it's possible that male tyrannosaurs in this universe simply don't participate in the rearing of their young. Although it's also plausible he died prior to the events of the series, considering the nature of this world.

Red

A male Tyrannosaurus that Fang meets when she gets separated from Spear and becomes her mate.

---

• Alternate Animal Affection: He licks Fang's face after some fruit gets smeared on her face, and later sleeps with Fang's head on his body.
• Ambiguous Situation: It's unknown if he's a member of a different species or subspecies of Tyrannosaurus than Fang or if his red and grey coloration is the result of sexual dimorphism. "The Colossaeus, Part II" all but confirms they were two distinct species/subspecies as their young have a patchwork of his and Fang's colors unlike her previous brood.
• Anti-Villain: He sees nothing wrong with eating the Celtic villagers and trying to kill Spear, because unlike Fang he never formed any sort of bond with humans, and as such he doesn't consider his actions different than killing any other animal for food. If anything, he's only acting like a normal tyrannosaur would, whereas Fang's perspective comes from her unique life experiences.
• Beware the Silly Ones: He's largely submissive to Fang at first and quickly befriends her. He even has a few silly moments during the time they bond. But make no mistake: he's still a T. rex, and is every bit as ferocious of a predator as you'd expect.
• Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism: Downplayed: if he is anything to go by, the male Tyrannosaurus of this world are distinguished by a ridge on the snout and spiky protrusions on the neck and tail. His more brightly colored head also reflects real world birds (ie peacocks and birds of paradise) having smaller males with more colorful plumage. Although this may be more due to him being a different subspecies as his and Fang's young don't have a consistant color pattern as them, with what appears to be the female offspring inheriting his red head. His nasal bump is also much smaller than the horns that his son has as an adult, implying that this is a trait that came from Fang's species.
• Blood from the Mouth: Begins to hack up a small amount of it after he was accidentally toppled onto a wooden stake within the Celtic village.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: He's friendly and even a bit shy around another tyrannosaur such as Fang who becomes his mate, but he's also an apex predator who sees nothing immoral about hunting down sentient humans as another source of meat, and he cannot grasp why Fang tries to protect the single "piece of meat" that is Spear.
• Endearingly Dorky: The T. rex version, but he is clearly this to Fang. He is quite shy around her at first, and kind of a goofball. Special mention goes to when after Fang catches falling leaves on her snout, Red tries to do the same and gets a leaf stuck on his face, covering his eyes and making him bump into a tree.
• Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: As he's almost about to swallow Spear, Fang pushes him off and accidentally into a large wooden spear she didn't see that impales him through his stomach and kills him.
• Lightning Bruiser: He is by all means a dangerous predator by sharing all of the ferocity that Fang has. He's injured Spear so severely that he could barely muster the energy to fight back (let alone move for that matter). He's also capable of sprinting at an alarming speed where he can easily keep pace with Fang when the two were coincidentally hunting the same prey, and not to mention that he can withstand many stabs via thrown spears from the Celtic warriors, has barraged through several solid stone huts in their village, as well as surviving an actual explosion and still kept fighting until Fang kills him by shoving him off a cliffside right onto a sharp stake (unintentionally).
• Made of Iron: Unsurprising for someone who becomes Fang's mate, he's extremely tough. During the attack on the Celtic village, he not only takes multiple spear wounds but goes up against Spear in a free for all brawl through the village which has him stabbed constantly, crashing through stone huts, caught in an explosion and smashed across the face with a rock. He's not only able to keep going without any drop in effectiveness, he ultimately has Spear dead to rights in a way only Fang herself has managed before.
• Poor Communication Kills: After bonding with Fang, he takes her to the same village that took in Spear. Despite Fang's efforts to stop them from killing each other, Red fails to see Spear as anything else but a particularly nasty prey that fights back, and in return Spear sees him merely as a bloodthirsty predator, both of them ignoring what she's trying to communicate. This in the end leads to Red getting impaled on a stick and killed.
• Quizzical Tilt: Stands on top on what seems to be his "lair", and examines Fang below him by displaying shades of curiosity by slightly shifting his head steadily as he continuously gazes upon her.
• Red Is Violent: The entirety of his head is a deep crimson (sans the rest of his grey/brown-ish body) who went out his way to deviously munch on the Celtic villagers and almost murdered Spear.
• Second Love: He's obviously a different male than the one who fathered Fang's brood that got killed by the horned tyrannosaurs, but he gets very intimate with Fang, even fathering another brood.
• Spikes of Villainy: Has several tiny spiked protrusions running down his neck with some of them around the tip of his tail but he doesn't become hostile towards Fang when he sees her for the first time and actually grows fond of her... That is until he started feasting on Celtic civilians while also trying to kill Spear.
• Stealth Hi/Bye: After getting spotted by Fang, he leaves her sights instantly as soon as Fang tries to find him, only to be seen being perched on the rock formations.
• Temporary Love Interest: He becomes quite affectionate with Fang, feeding and sleeping together with her almost as if it was a romantic date. Unfortunately, it doesn't last, as Red attacks the Celtic village and nearly kills Spear, forcing Fang to fight and accidentally kill Red. The episode "Vidarr" would even reveal that the two mated and Fang got pregnant as a result.
• Terrifying Tyrannosaur: Though he's a bit shy and submissive around Fang, when it comes to combat he's a powerful juggernaut like one would expect from a tyrannosaur. Notably, out of all non-supernatural characters, he gets the closest to killing Spear.
• To Serve Man: He's an active hunter of the Celts, sneaking into their village and preying on them, which first confuses Fang who doesn't become involved until he's injured. He almost had Spear becoming his very next meal if it weren't for Fang rescuing the neanderthal by shoving the predator out of the way.
• Use Your Head: Whacks his cranium directly into Spear at one point during his fight with him.

Fang's Second Brood

As Adults

The new clutch Fang lays in season 2.

---

• Badass Adorable: Fang's babies are adorable. They also chow down on Egyptian soldiers fresh out of their eggs.
• Death of a Child: One of the eggs is broken and destroyed during the ensuing fight aboard the boat.
• Disappeared Dad: Their father Red dies long before they are even born.
• Gentle Giant: Some time after the Time Skip, they become full-grown adults and are gentle with Mira. One of them allows Mira and Spear's daughter to ride it.
• Like Mother, Like Daughter: Fang's daughter forms a bond with Spear's daughter, just as her mother did with Spear.
• Patchwork Kids: Mildly; of the two who survive, one has Fang's color scheme in the front and Red's in the back with Red's skull shape, and the other has the inverse. Their stripe patterns and horns don't quite come from either parent, however. The similarities become more pronounced when they're older.
• Posthumous Sibling: They were born well after the deaths of their half siblings.
• Ridiculously Cute Critters: They're chirpy, bobble-headed baby T. Rexes with googly eyes.
• Shown Their Work: Fang's babies, barely a day or two old, are shown attacking and devouring an Egyptian soldier. It's likely young tyrannosaurs were precocial and able to feed themselves at birth, only relying on their parents to lead them to food and for protection.
• Strong Family Resemblance: As adults, apart from their colors they clearly take after their parents. Both possess an enlarged tooth, with the male having similar horns as his father and the female being almost identical to Fang.
• Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Downplayed being that they're predatory dinosaurs, and clearly imitating their mother's behavior, but when an injured Egyptian soldier lands in front of them, they quickly start mauling him despite being less than a day old.
• Walking Spoiler: Their very existence is a major spoiler in Season 2, giving away that Fang successfully mated with Red.
