Gon (manga)

The manga received an Excellence Prize at the Japan Media Arts Festival and won an Eisner Award.

Gon is a carnivorous species of Carnosaurian but he vaguely looks more like a tyrannosaurid than a carnosaur, due to his T-rex like-head.

Gon is an omnivore with an enormous appetite, preying on hadrosaurs, pterosaurs and ceratopsians, and also hunts down Stegosauruses, Apatosauruses and even Woolly Mammoths.

He possesses enormous power and endurance for his or any size, his feats of strength including supporting his own weight with his jaws, to being able to lift a fully grown sauropod (Brontosaurus, Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus).

Gon's intelligence seems to fluctuate in each adventure, ranging from total cluelessness (such as failing to notice a bird nest on his head for weeks), to strategic cunning (using an Allosaurus as a beast of burden to capture prey).
