The tyrantosaurus is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series. In most of their appearances, they have dull green scales and wield battle axes like their cousins, but in some games the dragons have reddish-orange scales and have traded in their axes for spiked war hammers.
These towering reptilian tyrants stand well over the top of the tallest man, making them an intimidating sight when encountered deep in the labyrinthine lairs that they love to live in. Their appearance is a cross between a tyrannosaurid and a traditional European dragon. Wielding sharp axes or wicked warhammers, they slice and smack away at any intruders before belching out a fiery breath to incinerate adventurers. They also often deal out a desperate attack that severely damage opponents, often doing enough to outright knock them out of action. The tyrantosauruses seem to prefer the axes due to sentimental reasons and are more relaxed by it, according to their Heroes game bestiary descriptions.
Tyrantosauruses reappear in the 10th game from the beginning of Version 4 onwards and utilise both Scorch and Falcon Slash from their Axesaurus and Hacksaurus relatives, though they themselves are outclassed by the rarefied Paladinsaurus.

Field Notes
Axe-wielding dragons who strike swiftly and strongly, flambéing foes left uncleft with burning breath. They've been known to wield an iron mallet, but seem most relaxed with an axe. Perhaps it's a sentimental thing?
