Sauron is one of the playable characters from Primal Rage.
Description[]
For some dino-beasts, immortality comes at a price. For Sauron, the cost is nothing less than an insatiable appetite. From his first appearance on the new Urth, as one of the Virtuous Beasts, he attracted many believers. With his mighty jaw, they believed him to be the most powerful among the barbaric behemoths. All of Urth is the battlefield for Sauron, as he towers into war after war, in his quest for domination! Waging war with the primal titans is what Sauron lives for, for in their defeat is tomorrow's lunch.
Appearance[]
Sauron is a Tyrannosaurus rex; a curious blending of an old-school, Ray Harryhausen-esque tail dragging behemoth with a Jurassic Park inspired head. His color is a deep orange-yellow with purple stripes running along his back down to his tail. He sports two claws on each of his disproportionately small arms and three-toed claws on each foot. He sports massive jaws built for inflicting a massive amount of damage. He is one of two T. rex characters in the game, the other one being Diablo; the result of palette swapping a common character sprite to inflate the roster, as is common practice in retro arcade fighting games.
Trivia[]
- Unlike the other Virtuous Beasts, Sauron falls more into the role of an anti-hero than a hero. His followers live in fear of him despite willingly following them, as he is more likely to consume them than protect them. His only goal in battle is to protect his territory.
- The Chistori from the Star Wars universe, most notably Desann from Jedi Outcast, feature a very similar design to Sauron.
- Like the other Rage characters, Sauron has a second version of himself that is a different color that can also be playable and/or has to be fought. In his case, the original Sauron is orange with purple stripes whereas his clone is yellow with blue stripes.
