comment
The Tyrannosaur Chronicles is a blog written by Traumador the Tyrannosaur about his many exploits.Traumador is a tyrannosaurid who hatched from an egg that magically survived the K/Pg Extinction Event and was discovered in Alberta by Craig, an aspiring paleontologist (and the mastermind behind the blog in real life). He eventually gets a job at the Royal Tyrrell Museum and things get interesting from there. His attempts to fit in with modern society and get along with humans as well as fellow living dinosaurs (known as Vivus specimens) have landed him in many adventures over the years in several parts of the globe, some of them mysteriously dangerous…Unfortunately, it is now on official hiatus due to Craig deciding to focus on his other projects for the time being.

Stereotype Flip: Dr. Spectre to the Pack of the Primordial Feather. While the Pack views most humans (and mammals in general) as being weak, they acknowledge Spectre as being on par with their top hunters (warriors). It's been said that even though any of the various theropod Packs could overwhelm Spectre with their superior numbers, he'd be able to cause such damage in return that any Pack who tried would be left too weak to defend itself from the other Packs.

Team Spirit: Subverted. Traumador's team in the Dinosaur Winter Games hasn't been working together too well. Double subverted by Team Gondwana, who are similarly divided amongst themselves but appear to be able to cooperate when they must. Played straight with the other teams, especially Team America.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 The Tyrannosaur Chronicles (Blog) / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Craig and Dan call Traumador a puppet a few times in the Royal Tyrrell Museum training video, even though Traum is meant in universe to be a real tyrannosaurid, to the point that Craig even denies that Traumador has a voice actor on Facebook. In the earlier posts on his other blog, Craig often portrayed Traumador as being a real dinosaur that he lives with, even having an online "chat" with Traum. More recently, however, he's decided use his blog to showcase the behind-the-scenes work he does to create The Tyrannosaur Chronicles instead. This transition is even lampshaded by him in a post called "Dropping the Fourth Wall".

comment
Partially Civilized Animal: Vivus dinosaurs. One of the few cases of this trope where the animals also integrate themselves into human society. The dinosaurs can get jobs (usually at museums) and at least some of them occasionally use human facilities, to the point where the Pack of the Primordial Feather claims they have control over certain museum collections. This may well be because the dinosaurs, being prehistoric animals, no longer have natural habitats to live in.

Dumb Dinos: A few dinosaur characters, such as Dollie Stegosaurus and Traumador himself, are shown to be slow-witted at least on occasion. However, this is not true of all dinosaurs in the setting; the maniraptors in particular come across as being more eloquent and cunning, and Dip the Serendipaceratops was able to earn a doctorate. Additionally, all Vivus dinosaurs are portrayed as being more intelligent than their real life counterparts, being able to understand humans and hold jobs.

Older Than They Look: Professor Paradigm. Lampshaded by Traumador. Traumador might also qualify. He stopped growing much earlier than is normal for Tyrannosaurus, which usually grow into their teens. The reason for this is because he's not a Tyrannosaurus rex but his own species, Tyrannosaurus traumadori. Lampshaded by Lillian.

Heart Is an Awesome Power: Traumador is very insecure about his small size, especially when Paradigm informs him that he won't grow any larger. However, Paradigm points out to him that he would not be nearly as comfortable in human civilization if he were the size of a typical tyrannosaurid and, in addition, his size will allow him to keep his considerable running speed throughout his life.

Painting the Medium: Although Traumador writes most of the blog entries, we occasionally see the thoughts of other characters, too, as indicated by a change in the color of the text. Different characters have varying degrees of grammatical accuracy and distinctive styles of wording. (For example, Traumador's green text never contains any capital letters and is often rather conversational in tone, while Professor Paradigm's white text is not only more grammatically correct but also carries an air of seriousness and and greater literacy.)

Fragile Speedster: Boom and Rang the Leaellynasaura. They are athletic enough to easily take first place in the first couple of events in the Dinosaur Winter Games (especially taking into account that their homeland Australia was one of the snowy areas during the Cretaceous), but were defeated by Team America's power play during ice hockey and are forced to drop out when Bronko the Stygimoloch gives Rang a particularly hard-headed check. Traumador himself to some degree. Being a diminutive tyrannosaurid, he is very fast, but he is small and inexperienced enough that it doesn't take much to subdue him.

Megan, previously shown as a regular museum worker, turns out to be a fossil poacher.

Spirit Advisor: Downplayed.

However, Traumador's mother once apparently manifested these echoes to warn him about impending danger (which turned out to be the Crimson Talons).

Friend or Foe?: Up until Paradigm himself confirmed the reality of Paleo Central, Traumador had remained very uncertain about the motives of Professor Paradigm. Additionally, the feeling was mutual between Traumador and Lance the Lambeosaur, at least until quite recently.

Traum's crush on Lillian originated from a single humorous one liner in an old educational video filmed during the real-life Traum's Tyrrell days. The reveal that Traumador is a paedomorphic dwarf Tyrannosaurus who won't grow any larger is a good way to deal with the fact that he's represented by a puppet.

Traumador when he discovers the contents of the mysterious "Crate" the Pack of the Primordial Feather have been preparing. The Series Hiatus prevented us from finding out the reason why in the story itself, but Word of God reveals that the Crate contained a time travel device invented by Zendin, who had been tortured into working for the Pack.

Twice Traumador expects Professor Paradigm to bring forth an awesome weapon that will oneshot Dr. Spectre, but Paradigm instead takes out a digging awl or a scientific paper.

Even though Professor Paradigm succeeds in disarming Dr. Spectre, Dr. Spectre still beats him eventually.

Real Time: The blog is generally meant to run approximately in real time, though Schedule Slips often throw a monkey wrench into this. For example, Traumador's birthday is consistently celebrated on August 15th, whether or not it seems plausible that in-universe events could have plausibly covered an entire year. Additionally, this is evidently not a hard-and-fast rule, considering that some posts made over the course of several days clearly take place during the same day in-universe.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Traumador can write and post blog entries during situations in which it would logically be inconvenient for him to do so (such as while being trapped inside a backpack and menaced by dromaeosaurids). He has even been known to respond to comments while supposedly being caught in these mishaps. Additionally, the posts sometimes end on cliffhangers, despite the fact that it would make little sense for Traumador to either have been blogging in real time or to leave the readers hanging had he made the posts after the events described. There are occasionally posts by characters other than Traumador that provide insight into plot points to which he is not privy, often with no in-universe explanation as to why they are posted on his blog. There is also no reason given as to why Traumador presumably cannot or does not see these posts.

Badass Bookworm: Valor Velociraptor, who appears to be the most level-headed of the Crimson Talons. She helped Desdemona Deinonychus come up with and carry out a plan to defeat both Traumador as well as their political rivals. She was also the only member of the Crimson Talons to do any significant damage to Lance the Lambeosaur. (Lance was momentarily letting her do so in order to buy time for Tramador and Tony to escape, but still.) Razi Saurornithoides is said to be one, although we haven't yet seen her in action. Dr. Paradigm and Dr. Spectre.

Hope Spot: Twice Traumador expects Professor Paradigm to bring forth an awesome weapon that will oneshot Dr. Spectre, but Paradigm instead takes out a digging awl or a scientific paper. Subverted in that in both cases Paradigm actually put these to good use. Double subverted with the digging awl. Even though Professor Paradigm succeeds in disarming Dr. Spectre, Dr. Spectre still beats him eventually. Played straight with Professor Paradigm's timely arrival when Traumador is captured by two fossil poachers. Paradigm knocks out one poacher but is ambushed and handily defeated by the other.

Traumador's agent Peter Bond is a well-meaning guy who tries to make Traumador famous through varied (and sometimes extreme) methods. Sadly, he has a tendency to overlook crucial facts, and as a result his plans aren't always the best.

comment
Shout-Out: Darth Vader makes an appearance as a fishwatcher whose evil side is overly hyped up in movies. Traumador calls on the Ghostbusters to get rid of some ghosts... which turn out to be beluga whales. Larry the Tyrannosaur and Desdemona Deinonychus are both movie stars, being the Tyrannosaurus rex and lead raptor in Jurassic Park. Teresa the Tyrannosaur joins them in the sequel. Matter of fact, Larry is just about every adult Tyrannosaurus to appear in modern pop culture. There are a number of ''Godzilla shout outs in the (rejected) Royal Tyrrell staff-training video. Traumador is scared of gorillas. Boom and Rang are the Leaellynasaura from Walking with Dinosaurs. "It's Bond. Peter Bond."

Early-Bird Cameo: Norman A Centrosaur was first mentioned when Traumador did a post on his pre-blog life. Zendin the Troodon, who was also featured in that post (and occasionally referenced now and then) is likely also one. Hogan the Muttaburrasaur first appeared in a list of names. He's now a player in the Dinosaur Winter Games, although not yet a significant character. Professor Paradigm was mentioned briefly when Traumador encountered Bigfoot in 2006, years before his major role in the storyline became clear. The mosasaur, which appeared once in 2007.

The Series Hiatus prevented us from finding out the reason why in the story itself, but Word of God reveals that the Crate contained a time travel device invented by Zendin, who had been tortured into working for the Pack. Traumador also does this after he and Craig had a fight.

Beware the Nice Ones: Craig. Norman also has shades of this. For that matter, so does Traumador himself. He's small, not always too bright, just wants nothing more than to settle down in the modern world, does his best not to fall into the "tyrannosaur stereotype", and probably knows less about the dark side of paleontology than any other main character, but is still willing to personally take action against the Pack.

Shown Their Work: Traumador occasionally inserts “Fossil Facts” in his posts to expand on a certain tidbit of information he mentions. He also frequently brings up discrepancies between human and theropod anatomy or culture when appropriate. (For example, he notes that hugging can be painful to theropods due to them carrying their vertebrae horizontally instead of vertically.)
