'''Rex''' is an [[Easter egg]] that has appeared in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and'' ''[[Halo 2]]''. The egg takes the form of the word "Rex" written on a level's scenery. It was added by [[Bungie]] programmer [[Tyson Green]] as a reference to his username "Ferrex".
The word '''''Rex''''' can be found in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'', and ''[[Halo 3]]''. [[Bungie]] programmer [[Tyson Green]] (username Ferrex) planted an Easter egg in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2''.

===Great Journey Rex===
On top of the final tower in the [[Great Journey (Level)|Great Journey]], there is a bloody ''REX'' written in [[Flood]] blood.
 
====Directions====
It seems that the only way to see this particular ''Rex'' is by using Dev Cam mode, unless you have a [[plasma grenade]] pile and a [[Ghost]] with the [[Sputnik Skull]] turned on. A video of how to get it is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOhuYlhRgBE here].

===The Great Journey===
On top of the control room in the level ''[[The Great Journey]]'', the word "REX" is written in [[Flood]] blood. It seems that the only way to see this particular ''Rex'' is by using Dev Cam mode, unless you have a pile of {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s, a {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}, and you have the [[Sputnik Skull]] turned on. A video of how to get it can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOhuYlhRgBE here]. However, with the addition of the Acrophobia skull in Halo 2: Anniversary, reaching this easter egg is very easy, as you simply fly to the top.


==Trivia==
====Cortana Rex====
In ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', finding the Rex on ''The Maw'' will unlock the [[T-Rex]] achievement, while finding the Rex Sword in ''Outskirts'' will unlock the [[Rex Sword]] achievement.
In one of the larger rooms in the level, on top of one of the ledges, you will see "Rex" etched into the wall.
 
====Directions====
In between points ''T'' and ''U'' (see level map in official guide), when you come into a large room, you will see a ledge to your right, go up and turn to your right and you will find ''Rex'' scratched into the wall.
