The Tyrannosaurus Rex (often abbreviated to T. Rex or T-Rex) is a classical baddy. You will meet him in the first three Tomb Raiders and he makes his return in Tomb Raider Anniversary.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex was first discovered in Wyoming by famed paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope in 1892. Since it's discovery, the T-Rex has been one of the identifying images of a dinosaur in popular culture. The largest specimen was 42 feet long and 13 feet tall. It's distinguishing features are it's two-fingered, tiny arms, long thick tail and legs, ridges above the eyes and a large mouth containing teeth that were 12 inches at their longest.

The T. Rex is an incredibly lethal adversary. One of the largest enemies in the original game, the T. Rex's long legs make for a large stride that can quickly gain on Lara and it's huge jaws can cause massive damage. The T. Rex also takes a lot of punishment, taking quite a pounding from her pistols. Explosive weapons can deal the most damage, though their usefulness may be offset by their rarity. Despite this, it is not as agile as smaller enemies in the game and it's large size makes it incapable of following Lara into smaller areas, such as holes in rock walls or doorways.

Lara encounters her first T-Rex in the original Tomb Raider in the Lost Valley.

In the level The Great Wall, in China, in Tomb Raider II she will encounter two T-Rex in a secret area.

In Tomb Raider III Lara will encounter an area with lots of different dinosaurs in the South Pacific level Crashsite, including a T-Rex.
