The Hypnos T-type (Tyrant-type) was an experimental model of Tyrant seen at Sheena Island's "Tyrant Plant". The main variation between this Tyrant and other models was the inclusion in its genetic make-up of the Hypnos gene, a modified genetic strand that, when implanted into an organism, would kill the weaker cells through natural selection, leaving only the best to keep the organism ongoing and encouraging the reproduction of the better cells.

[edit] Stages
[edit] Stage 1
In its original form, Hypnos resembles a genderless and hairless youth. Once awakened, it proceeded to kill a man talking to agent Ark Thompson, before turning its attention to him. After a brief conflict in a small corridor, the creature was knocked unconscious.
Its only attack was using its sharp clawed arm to stab its prey.
[edit] Stage 2
Unaware to Ark, the creature was alive, and was changing. The mutation granted it with a greater muscle mass, much larger digits upon its left claw, and an enlarged jaw.
In this state, the Tyrant could run at high speeds and viciously slash its opponents. It could also perform a downward strike. Its most dangerous attack was a powerful jumping strike performed at a distance. Lastly, it could strike with a swift lunging strike.
Nearly defeated in a second encounter with Ark on a Helipad, the creature began to mutate again.
[edit] Stage 3
The beast lost much of its intelligence in the process, suffering through a form of hypertonia, and losing its humanoid shape, becoming a bestial, primate-like, hunched monster. Because of the excessive muscle growth, the beast was rendered vulnerable, with the exposed heart common to its brethren. These new weaknesses didn't make it any less agile, however.
Hypnos fought a long, gruelling battle with Thompson, but in the end it was destroyed when it leapt upon Thompson's escape helicopter, at which point a missile was launched into its abdomen. Seconds later, another missile was launched against it, detonating both and killing it once and for all.
One of its attacks is to lift an opponent, impale them on its claw and throw the corpse around as though a rag doll. The other attacks include a shoulder tackle reminiscent of the ones performed by T-103s encountered all over Sheena island, and a jump strike.
[edit] Trivia
In Greek mythology, Hypnos was the personification of sleep, one of the sons created Asexually from Nyx. Other children included Thanatos (death) and Nemesis (vengeance).
It is also worthy to note that the Hypnos' namesake had three sons: Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos. The Tyrant had three forms.
- Morpheus was to morph into the images of people in sleep.
- Phobetor was the personification of nightmares and appeared as animals and monsters.
- Phantasos took the role of inanimate objects.
Morpheus may have been the Hypnos' first form as it had the most Humanoid appearance, though Phantasos took the role of inanimate objects which may have been the first form when Hypnos was in the stasis tank. Though there is no doubt about it that Phobetor was the Tyrant's final form due to it's hideous appearance.
