Tyrannosaurus Rex

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is a minor character seen at the beginning of Minions. It was the first master of the Minions after the tribe's landing.

Minions
After the Minions left the sea, a T. Rex crushed an Amphibian creature at the beach, the last master of Minions in the ocean, so the Minions regarded the T. Rex at their new master. Soon, many Minions climbed on the T. Rex's body and remaining Minions followed it, which made it pleased about these new creatures it found.

Two Minions found a banana tree under a large rock and one picked a banana, which triggered the rock rolling down from the hill and brought the T. Rex to the edge of a lava pit. At last, thanks to one of the falling Minions, he bumped into the rock, and their boss fell into lava and was killed, so the Minions left for a new master. And a minion gave a slap in the head to another one.

In the post-credit, its appearance scares away all characters from the stage, except young Gru. The dinosaur roars and Gru finally notices it, and he tries to shoot it by the Freeze Ray but the weapon jams.

Trivia
