12 📝 **Note :** In the 1^^st^^ December 2000 prototype of Dinosaur Planet, Sabre was replaced with [[Fox>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Fox.WebHome]]. Although, he was present[[ in the hour long footage>>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOVBRJToVDY]] leaked over Rare Thief's blog in 2012 - in order to play with Sabre in the prototype, [[codes>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.codes.WebHome]] have to be used to replace [[Fox>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Fox.WebHome]] and there are still bugs in cutscenes and such to fix to be completely seamless.

20 Sabre is a 20 year-old warrior of the [[Wolf Tribe>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Wolf Tribe.WebHome]] from the [[planet Animus>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.planet Animus.WebHome]]. His father [[Randorn>>Randorn]] abandoned him at the age of 10 to avenge his fallen eldest son who was killed by the [[Vixon>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Fox Tribe.WebHome]]. He is one of the two main protagonists of [[Dinosaur Planet>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Dinosaur Planet.WebHome]], the other one being his sister [[Krystal>>Krystal]]. In the game his sidekick is [[Tricky>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Tricky.WebHome]], a triceratops prince of the [[EarthWalker>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.EarthWalkers.WebHome]] tribe. Sabre is much more direct than his sibling and has a short temper, but he is courageous and kind when better acquainted, as seen with his sidekick.

22 = Early story (From Character Bio) =
23
24 When he was 10 years old, after his brother's death to the [[Fox Tribe>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Fox Tribe.WebHome]], his kin made a midnight ceremony for his brother's spirit - a tradition for all Wolven Warriors. [[Randorn>>Randorn]], their father, filled with grief and guilt, left the tribe to pursue a personal quest and Sabre never saw him again.
25 \\Many years passed, but Sabre finally decided to leave to search for his father. He felt unable to keep his questions for himself and yearned for his father answers.
26 \\Walking in a deep wooded valley, he came face to face with [[a female warrior>>Krystal]] of the [[Vixon Tribe>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Fox Tribe.WebHome]]. Sabre drew his sword, but became surprised when the warrior called him by his name, and so he listened to her tale.
27 \\She recalls that [[Randorn>>Randorn]] disappeared into a vortex bound to a planet of dinosaurs. An alliance was thus born and the newly reunited siblings headed on the trail of their father on Dinosaur Planet.

33 The characters' biographies were leaked (with other promotional material such as official renders, condensed story and gameplay footage) [[on the website RareThief in September 2012.>>https://rarethief.com/dinosaur-planet/||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] All bios are dated for the year 2000.
34 \\It’s worth mentioning though, not all character’s information and trivia are present [[in the December 1, 2000 prototype.>>https://archive.org/details/dino_20210220||rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"]] These were probably written pretty early on in the development of the game to summarize each character, but were not really changed after the game’s story underwent many changes and evolutions. (i.e : //Krystal's backstory not being mentioned except that she was adopted by Randorn or Krystal’s crush on Sabre even though they are siblings.//)

59
60 * //What does Sabre want to do when Dinosaur Planet has been saved?//
61 Despite acting like he doesn't care, Sabre has a soft spot for [[Krystal>>Krystal]]. When this is all over, he's hoping that maybe //she will go on a date with him.//
62
63 (% class="box infomessage" %)
64 (((
65 This may be a remnant from a past story, this isn’t mentioned in the final game once since the sibling characters don’t interact at all.
66 )))
67
68 * //Personality//
69 A proud knight of the Wolven Order, Sabre can be very headstrong and does not relish the prospect of looking after a spoiled prince throughout his journey.
70
71 * //Role in game//
72 As half of the main duo, Sabre's skills and courage are of utmost importance when it comes to finishing the game.
73 \\He will develop a love / hate relationship with his sidekick, [[the EarthWalker prince Tricky>>Main.World.Bestiary.Sabre.Tricky.WebHome]]. Sabre is firstly entrusted to look after Tricky although later into the adventure he will realize the importance of the young prince's skills.

84 In the very beginning of the game conception, Timber (From Diddy Kong Racing) was visioned as the main character, before being changed to Sabre. It is worth nothing the presence of a staff in the center piece, a sword in the bottom left and most importantly the center jewel necklace that would stay on Sabre (And Krystal!) in the final models.

91 His appearance on subsequent concept art were more wolf like, but Sabre kept some stripes in his fur, perhaps a souvenir from the initial concept of the tiger. Note on the concept art on the right, Sabre had a cape and much more visible equipment in a backpack.

108 This render is the most associated with Sabre. It was used (Without Tricky) on E3 display, just like the [[early render fur Krystal>>attach:krystal_fur-early-model-render.png]]. Although, it was probably made around the same time as the early Krystal, it stayed pretty close to Sabre's appearence in-game with minimal changes, such as the necklace jewel not present in this render.
