The Mysteries of Giant's Claw

Quote from: Sentenal
It was mostly destroyed, yet some of it survived.  Are you going to now discount the parts of Tyrano Lair inside Giant's Claw now?

I'm not discounting them, I'm saying that any building made of stone (or even metal anyway) would be totally destroyed and melted by the impact of a meteor.

The fire on the torches can't be burning for 65,000,000 years neither, and the ecosystem can't survive with only carnivorous creatures.

Yet we obviously see Tyrano's Lair. So there must be an explanation or else it would be a plot-hole. My opinion is that it is Tyrano's Lair, but it's a dream or some illusion and not the actual physical place. I don't know, maybe it's an illusion like Belthasar's library in Terra Tower. His library disappeared just after you exited it. The Giant's Claw cave also simply disappeared after you took the Rainbow Shell out of it (the entrance disappeared of the world map), and the whole island also disappeared after 600AD.

Yes, but if you say that Belthasar's library is an illusion of the planet, then you basically put Belthasar on the same level as the entity if he has that power, or if he is as close to the planet to make it do such things.

Anyway, Tryno's lair has those lil meteor crater monsters which I think are planet like creatures that maybe grow plants on them. They were a little mossy.

What if radiation from Lavos' impact mutated the dinosaurs?  I mean, I like the hyperspeed explanation, and Lavos is probably producing radiation.  This might give the dinosaurs different abilities that allow them to survive.

Yeah, they can survive a meteor crashing on their head and they can't survive a little fight with 3 young time travelers.

I originally thought that the Dinosaurs in the Giant's Claw were zombies.  I know that there isn't anything to suggest this, but it could sort of explain their continued existence.

As to why the Tyrano Lair wasn't vaporized, maybe it was caught in some sort of space-warp when Lavos collided.

Kind of like, it was thrown into its own Pocket Dimension?

Perhaps Lavos started his PD as soon as near earth(perhaps thats how he went into the earth that fast). And in the PD, the monsters and the area(like flames or throne) were "changed". Perhaps after the fight/fall of Zeal, or while they usw his power, Lavos threw out this Part of his PD. There is also 1 Cavern u cant get in before the fall of zeal, maybe this is a way to the Claw, but it went under earth after the fall of zeal, or something like that.

I agree with Grey and Nightmare.  There is no way that parts of tyrano lair could still be intact millions of years later with the same dinosaurs from 65,000,000 BC. I mean you even fight that big, ugly, german sheph......i mean dinosaur again!  Has to be some sort of PD.

Or zombie. I kinda like the zombie idea, actually.

Yep, the zombie idea is nice because it accounts for the disappearance of the island too. The zombie dinosaurs were haunting or guarding the Rainbow Shell, and once you remove it their reason for existing is also nullified. And it's true that a "Rust" Tyrano shouldn't really seem like a real living being...

The island could also be one of the Mystics' twisted experiments.  While they were raising undead armies, maybe they tried resurrecting dinosaur fossils found in the ruins.

That would make them genetically engineered dinosaur legions from beyond time of the undead.   :)

What about the flames of the torches though? >_> zombie flames?

But yea, zombies rule. This is just another point to their favor.

maybe the flames are frozen in time.

LOL so funneh. But seriously, they could be spirit flames or kyuubi flames or something. Like the souls of dead reptites.

That sounds....

resonable, it's probably as close as we will get to figuring it out. :?
