Cave Gecko
Lumbering Dinos are enemies found in the Pre-History Channel in Gex: Enter The Gecko. Seemingly a prehistoric version of Gex, they attack with their tails like he does. When defeated, their tails break off like a skink's tail and become a seperate enemy altogether (as if it were an evolutionary trait).
Design and inspiration[]
The Lumbering Dinos seems to be a throwback to the first Gex game, in which there were some anthropomorphic geckos that served as enemies in four of the six (five if one excludes Planet X) channels that Gex could traverse. However, they are also a play on the trope of prehistoric counterparts in certain time-travel-themed shows and TV episodes.
Behavior and strategy[]
Lumbering Dinos will steadily lumber toward Gex and attack him. Tail whipping the Lumbering Dino will make it lose its tail, which will attack Gex. Hitting both the tail and the main body once will destroy both.
