Hello, I would like to talk to you about the deletion of the Vastatosaurus Rex and Tyrannosaurus (King Kong) pages.

In real life, predators are only instinctive, but in fiction they are evil killing machines who don't behave like real animals. For example, they constantly want to kill the protagonists even when a real life animal should have abandoned. A real dinosaur would probably never fight a giant gorilla only to eat a puny human, but it's a fiction, and a fiction needs villains to work, therefore the predators are portrayed as more evil than they should be. As the Main Page says, without villains there is rarely a plot, and this is why there are plenty of fictions who use evil predators as their villains (including King Kong films).

By the way, there are a lot of iconic villains who are non-sentient killing machine (the Xenomorphs, Jaws (Jaws)...) but they are undoubtedly villains (these two are even in American Film Institute's list of greatest villains). The Tyrannosaurus from King Kong is clearly one of them, his fight scene is one of the most iconic of the movie. And if we should delete all the non-sentient man-eaters, there are plenty of iconic villains who will be missing.

In addition, there are many categories who are made for the non-sentient predators, such as Predator, Amoral, True Neutral, Villains by Proxy and some others, which mean that they have their place in this Wiki.
