The Tyrant is one of Omu's two A-rank Heroic Encounters, designed for 10 players. It triggers every 30 minutes in the open adventure zone, and is messaged through a map icon and in game beacon. Volothamp Geddarm and his crew of trappers have captured exotic Chultan beasts and are holding a feeding demonstration in Omu. Things quickly go awry as fresh meat attracts vicious raptors who attack the crew of trappers as Volo flees. As players fight off the raptors, the meat quickly attracts Omu's tortured undead, spooking the raptors and causing them to flee.

Soon enough, Omu's famed undead Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Tyrant appears and attacks players. The Tyrants offensive arsenal includes devastating tail swipes and zombie vomit. If players manage to weaken the Tyrant, the Gorrilla King appears and chases the undead dino off. Players looking to finish the job will need to complete Omu's hunts to unlock lure necessary to kill the Tyrant for good! Players looking to earn the "Beast Handler" achievement will need to protect all 5 of the beast cages from the raptor onslaught before the Tyrant appears. When raptors destroy a cage, it's former captive beast escapes and enters the fray.
