History Characters / SpecklesTheTarbosaurus

* EyeScream: He has a scar over his right eye, which is blinded, thus his name, ''One Eye''.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has a large scar over his right eye to tell the audience that he is really bad news.

* ScavengersAreScum: {{Inverted||Trope}}; Speckles does scavenge dead animals, but this is because, with no one to look after him, he could only prey on insects and eggs (which are harder than they seem) and being without guidance, finding food is a difficult task, forcing him to find whatever dead animal he could to keep himself well-fed. He would grow out of this by the time he reached adulthood.

* HorrifyingHero: He's a heroic character who goes out of his way to provide for his family and gets into conflict against predators that tend to be worse than him. That said, he's not just a predator himself, he's an ''apex predator'', meaning that nearly every animal in his environment tend to steer clear from him.

* ScavengersAreScum: {{Inverted||Trope}}; Speckles does scavenge dead animals, but this is because, with no one to look after him, he could only prey on insects and eggs (which are harder than they seem) and being without guidance, finding food is a difficult task, forcing him to find whatever dead animal he could to keep himself well-fed.

* TerrifyingTyrannosaur: [[DownplayedTrope While he's the hero of his story and is mostly sympathetic]], Speckles is an apex predator and is not picky about what he has to hunt for prey. As a result, most herbivores either bolt away or take a defensive stance whenever he shows up. In the sequel, he terrifies Cy in their first encounter, though its gradually subverted as Speckles starts to befriend the ankylosaur and doesn't mind his son being friends with a ''Monoclonius''.

* TragicHero: The first film really does a number on him; his family is killed in a stampede engineered by a vindictive predator, forcing him to survive alone for 5 years, all whilst being hounded by One Eye for about 20 years. He does find a companion, but they have to keep migrating because of said predator, and although they mate and start a family, their happiness is short-lived as a nearby volcano erupts, killing one of his children and his mate. Just a little while later, another one of his children is killed by One Eye

* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Well, it's a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' in Korea. Beyond that, however, One Eye and Speckles first know each other when the latter is an infant and they still clash against one another when Speckles is an adult. One Eye is already an adult during Speckles's infancy. The biologically oldest tyrannosaur remains are estimated to be around 28.5 years old, with the average maximum life expectancy being 30. Yes, One Eye is about 10-20 years older than a normal Tyrannosaurus.

* EvilOldFolks: He was already a full grown heavily scarred adult when Speckles was a kid, and survives long enough to continue hunting and fighting adult Speckles.

* HistoricalBadassUpgrade: Yes, ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' was an apex predator and among the most advanced dinosaurs of its time, but the amount of intelligence One-Eye displays is pretty similar to the raptors of Film/JurassicPark. He even gets to square off against a pair of Tarbosaurs, themselves apex predators and nearly the same size as Tyrannosaurus, and still be on the winning side.

** He kills his family in an engineered stampede and Speckles could only watch as his brother, sisters, and mother are slowly killed off by an uncaring, petty usurper.

** [[spoiler:Upon noticing Speckles's children, the first thing One Eye does is to kill one of them by flinging it onto a cliffside and is about to do the same to Speckles Jr. before his father shows up. Prior to this, Speckles had to watch another one of his children and Blue Eyes die.]]

* TheSociopath: Even for a normal predator One-Eye shows signs of this. He's a petty, brutal and ruthless T-Rex who apparently hunts more for fun than for food and he's willing to kill any dinosaur who could usurp his alpha status showing some narcissistic side.
* SuperPersistentPredator: One Eye is an [[ExaggeratedTrope overblown case]]. Even after killing all of his family, he doesn't stop chasing after and hounding Speckles. To put it to perspective, One Eye would leave his own territory just to hurt Speckles and Blue Eyes. And he's been doing this for 20 years.

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:One-Eye, presumably out of petty vengeance, decides to kill one of Speckle's children by flinging him off a cliff, and this is sometime after Speckles lost his mate and another child of theirs]].

* FromNobodyToNightmare: A rare heroic example. He starts off as a defenseless infant who has to rely on his family and later scavenge for corpses to survive. Eventually, he grows up to be a formidable predator who could stand his ground in a tough fight and terrifies any animal that recognizes him as someone who would hunt them down as prey.
