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 who gets her name from a distinctive large tooth on her mouth's right side. Fang is introduced bringing home food to her two offspring, and encounters a caveman named Spear. Soon after, a group of large red dinosaurs arrives and kills Fang's children, but with Spear's help the duo manage to kill all of the predators. Bonded by mutual tragedy, Spear and Fang gradually develop a deep, mutualistic relationship towards each other in order to 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 popularity is justified since the show is widely praised for its art style, action sequences, and dialogue-less narrative; the character herself has also been praised for her relationship with Spear. 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, supported by a loose group of vocal supporters who call themselves the "Fang Gang." She finished in third place, which is the best a non-anthropomorphic animal character has ever done in the /co/ntests.
With Primal season 2 confirmed for a mid-2022 release, the dinosaur will continue to challenge for the championship in her return on that year's corresponding Miss /co/ntest.
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 most likely been 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.
