Dinosaur Common Names - Tyrants

Dinosaur Common Names: Tyrants (Tyrannosauridae)

Tyrannosaurus rex: King tyrant, T-rex, tyrant king
Tarbosaurus bataar: Imperial tyrant
Albertosaurus sarcophagus: Pack tyrant (Named for its social habits of hunting in packs of up to five animals)
Daspletosaurus torosus: Brawler tyrant (Name comes from this tyrannosaur's propensity to fight with others of its kind through body slams, tail strikes, and blows from the knees and legs, as opposed to its jaws.)
Gorgosaurus libratus: Sprinter tyrant (Named for its speed; sprinter tyrants regularly clock at almost 70 mph.)
Nanotyrannus lancensis: Dwarf tyrant
Zuchengtyrannus magnus: Heavenly tyrant
Lythronax argestes: Gore tyrant (Named principally for its habit of literally rolling around in the blood of its prey; why it does this is still unknown, but it is believed that it may serve to attract skin-cleaning pterosaurs and birds and/or to keep cool.)
Teratophoneus curriei: Savage tyrant (Name stems from its habit of brutalizing the bodies of its prey after eating its fill, presumably to serve as a warning to other carnivores that they're entering its territory)
Bistahieversor sealeyi: Cruncher tyrant (Title stems from this species' strategy for hunting ceratopsians: instead of decapitating its prey like most species of tyrants do, cruncher tyrants are notorious for actually biting through the frill itself, their powerful jaws easily shattering the windowed skulls of the centrosaurines and chasmosaurines it shares its habitat with.)
Nanuqsaurus hoglundi: Dwarf polar tyrant, yeti tyrant
Appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis: Appalachian tyrant
Alioramus remotus: Longnose tyrant
Alioramus altai: Fishing tyrant (Named for this species' heron-like habits; it is often seen snapping up fish alongside Titan Dinoducks (Deinocheirus mirificus))
Qianzhousaurus sinensis: Rainbow tyrant (Named for the colors that males take on during the mating season: the skin underneath the integument on the body turns a deep maroon in color with scarlet stripes on the back, the skin over the antorbital fenestrae becomes bright pumpkin orange, the throat becomes a brilliant sapphire in color, and the brow ridges turn sulfur yellow.)
Dryptosaurus aguilunguis: Slasher tyrant (Name comes from this large tyrannosaur's usage of the razor-sharp claws on its long, powerful arms rather than its teeth to kill prey.)
Labocania anomala: Skull tyrant (The skin covering this tyrannosaur's face is stretched very tightly across the bone and is chalky white in color, giving the creature's head a skeletal appearance, furthered by the similarly colored line running down its back and short rib-like stripes splitting off from said line, standing out against the coal black skin that covers the rest of the body. The normally blackish-grey skin covering the now-visible antorbital fenestrae and other openings in the skull is laced with thousands of blood vessels that can be flushed whenever the tyrant is startled or angry, coloring these gaps a demonic-looking flaming orangey-red.)
Timurlengia euotica: Eagleye tyrant
Alectrosaurus olseni: Horned tyrant (Named for the multiple keratinous horns that sit above the creature's eyes)
Bagaraatan ostromi: Singing tyrant (Name comes from the fact that males sing to attract females - an eerie crooning sound often described as a combination of a wolf's howl and birdsong)
Raptorex kriegsteni: Thieving tyrant (Earns its name from its habit of stealing kills: one member of its pack draws a predator's attention from its kill, while the rest of the group quickly dart in and drag the carcass away. Other methods that these small predators use include simply mobbing other predators in the same manner as seagulls and quickly darting in to take a mouthful of meat, then zipping off into the undergrowth.)
Stokesosaurus clevelandi: Pinewoods tyrant (The preferred habitat of this smallish tyrannosaur is well-watered conifer forests, earning it its name)
Aviatyrannis jurassica: Little weaver tyrant (Both for its small size and its mating display: males construct elaborate bowerbird-like nests and line it with shiny objects)
Kileskus aristotocus: Star tyrant (Named for the bluish-white bioluminescent stripes present on the head crest; the dinosaur has full control over the brightness of these markings, allowing it to communicate with others of its kind through morse code-like winks and flashes.)
Yutyrannus huali: Woolly tyrant (Named for its very thick feathery coat, which extends all the way down to its feet, like a snowy owl)
Juratyrant langhami: Beachcomber tyrant (Often prowls coastlines in search of washed-up carcasses to feed on)
Sinotyrannus kazuoensis: Conflagration tyrant (Males have brilliantly colored iridescent red, yellow, and orange plumes on their heads, and can emit bioluminescence of the same color from their crest)
Eotyrannus lengi: Dawn tyrant (Named both for its taxonomic position and its crepuscular habits; these midsized predators are most active immediately before and after sunrise.)
Xioguanlong baimoensis: Dusky tyrant (Name comes from this animal's ashen grey plumage striped with black, giving it excellent camouflage during the night, when this predator is most active.)
Dilong paradoxus: Coyote tyrant (Occupies a very similar ecological niche)
Proceratosaurus bradleyi: Little crested tyrant
Guanlong wucaii: Progenitor tyrant

Dynamosaurus imperiosus: Great armored tyrant (Scaled skin is studded with ankylosaur-like osteoderms)
Manospondylus gigas: Great tyrant (Named for immense size, even among other tyrannosaurs)
Stygivenator amplus: Hellish tyrant (Scales are a rusty red that brighten to bloody crimson in the males during mating season, and there's a pair of prominent brow horns atop the creature's head - males' are larger than those of the female. Additionally, bony osteoderms run down its spine, culiminating in sharp spikes running down its tail, which is tipped with a particularly large, sharp one, like the arrow on a devil's tail)
Shanshanosaurus houyanshanensis: Sun tyrant (Named for bright golden feathers and diurnal habits, as well as its frequent sunbathing in a position jokingly referred to as 'praising the sun')
Jenghizkhan bataar: Khan tyrant
Maleevosaurus novojilovi: Peasant tyrant
Deinodon horridus: Fanged tyrant (Title comes from its unusually large, pronounced teeth, even by theropod standards)
Laelaps aquilunguis: Leaping tyrant (Name comes from its powerful hind legs and eagle-like talons)
Aublysodon: Slope tyrant (This greyish-tan green-streaked tyrannosaur primarily lives in mountainous regions)
