Overview


"Those that oppose or displease The Campaigner are cast into Thunders [sic] pit, where the screams are the last sound ever heard from them."
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter website[1]

Thunder[1] is the Campaigner's Tyrannosaurus rex, transformed into a Bionosaur with the ability to breath fire and shoot laser beams out of its bionic eye. Thunder serves as the penultimate boss in Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, fought at the end of the Campaigner's fortress before Tal'Set faces the Campaigner himself.

Appearance[]

This boss is a massive, hulking, green Tyrannosaurus rex with multiple visible cybernetic body parts, such as its ribs, claws, and skull.

The skull piece covers the top half of the head, and it is silver in coloration, much like all other portions of the cyborg. The skin color is an emerald green, with scales all along the areas that have not been transformed into mechanical weapons or parts. The tyrannosaur's tiny arms have been replaced with longer robotic ones with three fingers on each hand.

Gameplay[]

Barring the Campaigner himself, Thunder is likely the most dangerous enemy in the game, taking a massive amount of damage before dying. In addition to the above weapons, he also attacks with stomp-generated shockwaves, and, of course, biting.

He takes so much damage before dying that the player is given enough ammo to re-fill any they expended on him before fighting the Campaigner. Although the arena Thunder is fought in contains ammo, it is best to avoid picking it up unless it is absolutely necessary; the ammo is located in corners that Thunder can trap the player in if they go to pick it up.

This tyrannosaur's bite is incredibly deadly and is able to kill the player with only a few lunges and snaps. Its movement speed is also very high, being able to nearly outpace the player with ease. This enemy also has an insane health pool and can take nearly all damage thrown at it.

Because the boss fight opens with Thunder rising on a platform for roughly five seconds, the player is given a short window at the beginning of the fight in which they can empty the Fusion Cannon before the battle begins.
