against the member who executed the attack - will always inflict critical damage

If the player successfully uses the Devour command on a T-Rexaur of Level 40 or above, the devourer's Strength stat will be raised by one.

Strategy

Junctioning Blizzard-type magic to elemental attack helps deal more damage to it, earliest drawn from the Glacial Eye enemies on the Balamb island overworld. (Ifrit is the first Guardian Force who has the Elem-Atk-J support ability.) The player can get Sleep spells from the Grats in the Balamb Garden training center, and either cast them outright or junction them to ST-Atk-J to inflict the status with normal attacks. (Siren starts with ST-ATK-J.) The player can then use magic and summons on the T-Rexaur without it waking. Shiva is the best GF to summon against it for its weakness to Ice. Though Shiva's Doom command will work, the counter takes a while to expire and the player may be faster killing it normally.

Etymology

The Tyrannosaurus is a genus of dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period. Its scientific name means "tyrant lizard". The species Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the largest land predators ever known and means "king of the tyrant lizards".

It is known as Archeodinos in the Japanese and German versions, and as Archaeosaur in Record Keeper. The word root archaeo-, as in "archaeology", comes from Greek archaios meaning "ancient". Thus, the creature’s name can be read as “ancient lizard” or “ancient terror”.
