- Eotyrannus is an extinct genus first described in 2001. Eotyrannus is a 4-5m (12-15 feet) long tyrannosaur-like dinosaur which lived during the Early Cretaceous Period (146-100 million years ago). It was considered an early, primitive version of the Tyrannosaur, being much smaller than the well-known dinosaur. It predated the Tyrannosaur by 80 million years. Only one species is known, Eotyrannus lengi. It was discovered on the Isle of Wight in the British Isles around May 2001. Eotyrannus means “dawn/early tyrant”.
- Eotyrannus (meaning "dawn tyrant") was a genus of tyrannosauroid theropod dinosaur hailing from the Early Cretaceous Wessex Formation beds, included in Wealden Group, located in the southwest coast of the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. The remains (MIWG1997.550), consisting of assorted skull, axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton elements, from a juvenile or subadult, found in a plant debris clay bed, were described by Hutt et al. in early 2001.
- The discovery of Eotyrannus corroborates the notion that early tyrannosauroids were gracile with long forelimbs and three-fingered grasping hands, although the somewhat large size of the animal either means that early evolution for this clade was carried out at a large size or Eotyrannus developed large size independently. The find of this animal in Europe puts in question to the purported Asian origin for these animals along with North American Stokesosaurus and European Aviatyrannis arguing for a more complex biogeography for tyrannosauroids.

| abstract | - Eotyrannus (meaning "dawn tyrant") was a genus of tyrannosauroid theropod dinosaur hailing from the Early Cretaceous Wessex Formation beds, included in Wealden Group, located in the southwest coast of the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. The remains (MIWG1997.550), consisting of assorted skull, axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton elements, from a juvenile or subadult, found in a plant debris clay bed, were described by Hutt et al. in early 2001. The etymology of the generic name refers to the animal’s character as an "early tyrant", while the specific descriptor is a mention to the discoverer of the fossil.
- The discovery of Eotyrannus corroborates the notion that early tyrannosauroids were gracile with long forelimbs and three-fingered grasping hands, although the somewhat large size of the animal either means that early evolution for this clade was carried out at a large size or Eotyrannus developed large size independently. The find of this animal in Europe puts in question to the purported Asian origin for these animals along with North American Stokesosaurus and European Aviatyrannis arguing for a more complex biogeography for tyrannosauroids. Below is a cladogram by Loewen et al. in 2013 that includes most tyrannosauroid genera. A recent analysis has found Eotyrannus to be a megaraptoran closely related to taxon like Megaraptor (Profiri et al., 2014)

Of all the mythological and historical creatures added to Final Fantasy XI, Eotyrannus is one of the the most historically recent, 2001 CE. It was discovered only 1 year before the launch of FFXI and only 7 months before the launch of FFXI's original Beta. This is also the fastest turnaround between the source of a monster, item, etc. and its implementation in the game. Eotyrannus was added in April 2003 with the Rise of the Zilart expansion, merely 1 year and 11 months after its discovery. Tsaagan beat out Eotyrannus in 2009 for the most historically recent creature in Vana'diel.
