Description

After vanquishing and feasting on the flesh of one of his divine rivals, the ravenous tyrannosaur god Sauron roars towards the heavens that storm above the new Urth.

Sauron is one of the playable characters in the 90s arcade game Primal Rage, which was essentially a Mortal Kombat-style fighting game set in a post-apocalyptic Earth (renamed "Urth") with dinosaurs and giant apes. These monsters were actually revived gods vying with one another for dominion of the planet (when not munching on their human followers). Being a T. rex who munched on his enemies after beating them, Sauron was easily my favorite of the roster.

And believe it or not, even though he had to consume human flesh in order to stay immortal, the game's lore claimed that Sauron was one of the more benevolent gods of the bunch. I can only guess he took good care of his disciples when he wasn't feeding on them.

Wasn't their a polynesian king that thought eating 100 or 1000 people will make him inmortal?

I remember playing Primal Rage somewhere (I think it was Chuck E Cheese or something) my favorite character was and always will be Sauron, but I always HATED Choas, Vertigo, and Diablo!

I used to like Sauron, until I learned of the ending where he ate all life on Urth. I then switched to ARmadon because he's still a dinosaur, but it felt like humanity had a chance to rebuild

For just an instant, I thought "whoa, is Brandon branching out into Tolkien fan-art?" Then I saw the picture.

LOL, I knew about Sauron from Primal Rage long before I had even heard of Tolkien or Middle Earth.

Pretty good drawing of Sauron. And i can say Sauron is my favorite too for how big, beast and bloody he is.

Though i remembered seeing this arcade game as a kid, which it was ironically rated for mature for blood and gore fighting like Mortal Kombat.

Good times. I had almost all the toys, but I only had a few opportunities to actually play the game back when it was in the arcades.

By the way, which was your favorite character? I'm guessing it would be Armadon.
