BRAAAINS (the size of walnuts)

Born in Idaho (the funny shaped one just east of Washington and Oregon) to a large family, Sam had his artistic side fostered from a young age. His Mother and Grandmother (his Father's Mother) being extremely talented artists encouraged him to draw and paint constantly. At the age of 18 he fled the state everyone forgets in search of greener pastures. Somewhere around Wyoming he missed his turn and wound up in Texas by mistake. After realizing his error (a year later) he bounced around the west coast until finally settling in the land of plastic and sunshine, which (for now) he has decided suits him just fine. Back in the 1900s, deep in Alaska, a group of miners were blasting dirt, ice and what not searching for precious metals. Instead they discovered an unknown species of dwarf T-Rex. The miners' dynamite stirred something in this cantankerous critter and he developed a taste for it. Soon their entire stash had been grabbed up. When he couldn't have any he'd get mad and bellow so loud that they decided to name him RAAAR!
