Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

This is just a fun competition anyone can contribute to. There are no prizes its just for fun.
Your job is to design a Cretaceous creature that hunts Trex as its main food source.
A picture is preferred but not required. Start Thinking.


Good Luck!!! :)

I can do this!
I do art sometimes.

Projects:
Amammalia: A strange place where mammals didn't make it and the land is, once again, dominated by archosaurs.

Oceanus: An endless sea dotted with islands, reefs, and black holes. Literally endless, literal black holes.

only way i can imagine it is a tiny parasite(the most likely version) or something massive with very low metabolism(the most unlikely version)

Any modern virus that affects birds could bring down T. rex immediately. There, competition's over.

If it actually has to hunt it...

A really big mob of dromaeosaurs.
Time flows like a river. Which is to say, downhill. We can tell this because everything is going downhill rapidly. It would seem prudent to be somewhere else when we reach the sea.

Well, mine is different.

Trex eater
This is a combination of a parasite and a dromaeosaur. The parasite grows first in rotting flesh and is eaten by the dromaeosaur while scavenging. It then migrates to the brain region and deposits eggs in the blood. The dromaeosaur then is forced to show aggression to larger carnivores such as the tyrannosaurs. Eventually they give in and attack. The dromaeosaur is usaully killed and then eaten by the Trex. The eggs infiltrate the saliva and digestive tract of the Trex. When it attacks and kills prey, the parasite leaves. Same for defecating. Eventually, the Trex is killed by the ravaging parasites. But they live on. They spread through feces and insects, and when a troodont feeds on bugs the parasite transfers again. Eventually, the troodont might bite a larger herbivore and relocate more eggs. Eventually, the troodont or Trex or Herbivore dies from the infection. When a scavenging dromaeosaur comes along and eats the comtaminated meat, the parasite enters the brain and activates with the dromaeosaur. Soon the process begins again.

PS: Only dromaeosaurs get the mind control thing. It is like paranoia/rabies
