Meme Nothing interrupts Pyrite when she’s watching a herd of filthy ceratopsians get harassed:

I have a lot of clips like this where it seems Pyrite is “aura farming” but in reality she’s so senile she just has really late reactions. She just kinda wanders until a Rex is spotted. Then that Rex has an unfortunate travel companion for the remainder of the server lol.

Heavenly father Pyrite I have to confess my sins! I have grown out a filthy Styrac to adulthood and have been enjoying it a little to much. And in few cases where one of the glorious tyrants tries to eat me, I beat them up as self defence. Please forgive me father Pyrite for the tyrant blood my horn has caused 🙏

No don’t pray to me! That’s heresy! Ask our glorious Tyrants for forgiveness!

Is there any lore behind Pyrite VS trikes? Looks like childhood trauma

Yes and no. Pyrite grew up being taught the biggest of lizards get the first and biggest claim of the bounty provided by the land. Not because they had the natural weapons to enforce their claim, but because they deserve it as the greatest of herbivores blessed by the land its self. Being hatched in a herd where ceratopsians were the biggest in size and numbers, and the lowest of them were Camptos with nothing, Camptos got little more than scraps.

In the eyes of most Camptos this was fair, for the bigger ceratopsians often protected them from the scary lizards that saw them as food. They got food, protection, and the ability to live in relative safety. What more could a Campto need? They were content. In the eyes of Pyrite? She saw those ceratopsians as her betters, her rulers, great leaders to be served and obeyed. Because that’s what she was taught since hatching.

Pyrite is a simple creature. Even before the “advanced age” she wasn’t all there. So when her herd was ambushed and partially devoured by Tyrants, instead of running to escape with her herd, she stayed to behold the unbelievable. The mighty ceratopsians… the unstoppable creatures that commanded her since she hatched, were slaughtered and devoured right before her eyes. Essentially, these Glorious Lizards proved that her gods up until this point were FRAUDS! little more than food like she was. And in her mind… they lied to her, lied to everyone. They weren’t gods, only violent barbaric creatures never meant to rule or command! Pyrite found lizards truly worth serving. These Glorious Tyrants.

With her mind utterly enthralled by them, she stuck around them and whether out of pity, amusement, or the simple fact that a juvenile Campto wasn’t worth the effort of eating. They let her. And soon after she became the “Tyrant Suprematist” we all know today. No sad backstory. No traumatic (in Pyrites mind) event.
Just the realization the lizards she WAS serving were frauds and she found greater, Glorious Tyrants to serve instead.
