Sarpedon is the main antagonist of 20th Century Fox's 2003 animated feature film The Tarbosaurus King. As the younger brother of Manfred and second-born Prince of the Mesozoic Lands, Sarpedon was next in line to assume the throne as King. His chances were lost, however, at the birth of his nephew and future arch-nemesis Samson. This embittered Sarpedon with jealousy and a sense of entitlement, prompting him to develop a regicidal plot to take over the kingdom, with the aid of his raptor henchmen. After killing Manfred to become King, Samson fought up and defeated Sarpedon and he lost his job as King.

Personality:[]
Physical Appearance:[]
Sarpedon is elegant and poised, but also unkempt and wild looking. He also speaks with an English accent. He is perhaps the most evidently tyrannosaurus rex in the film, lithe and melanistic in appearance with a sleek, black mane, tawny fur, and distinctive, almond-shaped neon green eyes. He has large, tan paws with long, curving black claws that unlike those of other dinosaurs in the film are always bared and never retracted, perhaps alluding to his vicious nature.
Sarpedon also sports a white goatee beard, characteristic of villains, particularly the evil twin archetype which is fitting given his relationship with Manfred. Finally, Sarpedon has a small, thin, pink scar over his left eye, thus earning him his namesake (which happened to him during his younger days). Some of his physical traits were also based in part on his original voice actor, Steve Blum.
After his death, Sarpedon became a spirit manifested in lava and fire.
