Christosaurus rex (pronounced /kraɪstɵˈsɔrəs rɛks/ or /ɛksɵˈsɔrəs rɛks/, meaning 'anointed lizard king') is a messianic species of theropod dinosaur. It is also commonly known as Jesussaurus, a popular but obsolete synonym of Christosaurus. It lived throughout what is now the Middle East, though some paleontologists posit that the species also occurred in North America, based on several fragmentary remains. Fossils are found in a variety of caves which were sealed off by huge rocks. The Christosaurus rex sacrificed itself and all other dinosaurs so that humans could evolve and worship him later on. Following the mass extinction event, it momentarily resurrected to show off its powers and to spread prophecies of its Second Coming which was foretold to be much grander than the first one.
