* FantasticFaunaCounterpart: Both ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' and ''Nanuqsaurus'' have their behaviour taken from modern Arctic animals. The first is based on a musk-ox, being a big herd animal that fights for females by butting their head with the rival and their method of protecting their young by having the adults forming a protective circle while the young dinosaurs remain in the center is taken straight from the same method musk-oxes employ in the present. The ''Nanuqsaurus'' meanwhile evokes an Arctic wolf (the main predator of the musk-ox) by being a social hunter with a feathery coat resembling fur and emitting some howl-like sounds that are unmistakably wolf-like.
* TemperCeratops: The ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' can be aggressive and violent during the mating season and when they feel threatened, as one of the ''Nanuqsaurus'' finds the hard way.
* TerribleTrio: Three ''Nanuqsaurus'' appear as the main antagonists of the segment, stalking the ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' herd in the middle of a blizzard.
* TerrifyingTyrannosaur: The ''Nanuqsaurus'' are portrayed as pacient, efficient and social predators menacing the herd of ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' through the segment, in contrast to the ''T. rex'' and ''Tarbosaurus'' who were shown in a more chill light in previous episodes. The eventually succeed in taking down a bull ''Pachyrhinosaurus'' by the end of the episode.
