Awesome / Dinotopia

• In a famously illustrated case of Summon Bigger Fish, Stinktooth the Giganotosaurus makes his big entrance in Dinotopia: The World Beneath by saving the protagonists from a Tyrannosaurus. When Stinktooth demands it back off, the Tyrant Lizard listens.
  • Even more so when you consider that Stinktooth is one of the first (if not the first) depictions of Giganotosaurus in pop culture. The genus was discovered so recently that when James Gurney made the decision to include it in The World Beneath, Giganotosaurus hadn't hadn't even been named yet, and he wound up asking permission from co-describer Rodolfo Coria to be the first to depict it in art.
