Fang
Fang is one of the two main protagonists of the 2019 Emmy-award winning Adult Swim animated series Primal, created by Genndy Tartakovsky. She appears as a green, medium-sized, striped Tyrannosaur with a distinctive large fang on her mouth's right side. Fang is a dinosaur whose offspring were eaten by a group of large red dinosaurs, but a caveman named Spear arrives to help her kill them. Bonded by mutual tragedy, Spear and Fang gradually develop a deep, mutualistic relationship towards each other so that they may survive in the harsh and dangerous world they live in.
Fang is unique among the Ms. /co/ roster simply because she's a literal fucking dinosaur who behaves and acts like one, which makes her a popular /co/ntrarian pick at first. However, her show is widely praised for its art style, action sequences, and dialogue-less narrative; the character herself has also been praised for her interactions with Spear. Her vocal supporters call themselves the "Fang Gang." The dinosaur made her name as one of the highlights of Ms. /co/ 2020, where her low seed and unconventional appeal turned her into a fan-favorite contender for the Jenny. She ended up placing third, making her ineligible for the 2021 contest. Fang will return in the 2022 edition.
Tournament history
Fang was seeded 65th in her first Ms. /co/ appearance. After defeating Mirror Tulip in round 1, she faced the first seed and tournament favorite Toph Beifong in round 2. However, the prospect of a dinosaur winning a waifu contest was too good to pass up, which became a key factor on the dinosaur's eventual upset win against the earthbender. She then proceeded to defeat humanoid /co/ waifus Mavis, Lord Dominator, and two-time elite 8 member Starfire in the following rounds, gaining both vocal supporters and salty detractors along the way. Fang's rampage was eventually stopped in the semi-finals after she lost to eventual champion Mrs. Monarch by just 9 votes; several anons have speculated that had it not been for Adult Swim cancelling Venture Bros. at the time, Fang would have been most likely the champion. The dinosaur eventually placed third with a blowout win over Kim Possible. By the end of the contest, Fang ended up as the most popular subject of fan art, garnering over 100 entries in the Ms. /co/ booru from that contest alone.
