History Characters / DinosaurKing

* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She's the only girl among the main characters, and both of her outfits in the anime and the arcade game leave her middle section uncovered. Beside indicating her gender, it also shows her as someone used for hot climates due to her paleontological activities. In the anime at least is shown her shirt is full lenght, she just rolls up the bottom to show her midriff.

* PteroSoarer: While they are accurately sized, they have naked bodies, pointy wing tips, and grasping feet.

* WhipItGood: The Baryonyx used by the Spectral Space Pirates is fitted with the move card Aqua Whip, which allows it to grab Ace in a long tendril of water and throw him around.

* EasyAmnesia: In the Ancient Japan arc, she loses her memories after being slammed by a tree by her own Gojirasaurus (thrown by Ace) and is taken by a kunoichi quartet serving Shingen Takeda. They make her believe she’s one of them and joins them, fighting against her former allies and the D-Team through the arc. She recovers her memories after a similar process (involving one of her Deinonychus) and returns to the Space Pirates with the White Cosmos Stones.

** Because Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus were considered the same dinosaur genus until 2015, it's never made clear if Brontikens is supposed to be the former or the latter. The ''Dinosaur King'' franchises uses both names interchangeably in different media, with Apatosaurus seemingly being the correct species.

* EvilCounterpart: To Terry (who becomes heroic during the second season as a result of the Alpha Gang's HeelFaceTurn), being an evil Tyrannosaurus serving the evil ambitions of the Spectral Space Pirates. Fittingly, in the final battle of the series both he an Terry [[DoubleKnockout defeat each other in a fierce last clash]].

* TransformationSequence: Curiously, it is the only non-main dinosaur that has a transformation sequence similar to that of the main dinosaurs (in the fact it slowly asceneds to the screen and properly reveals itself), though it appears in its battle form rather than as a chibi dinosaur.

* PredatorsAreMean: With the exception of the Daspletosaurus, Fire dinosaurs tend to be violent and dangerous, occasionally causing a lot of destruction when they appear. Of course, since at the end they're just predatory animals following their instincts, this is downplayed. Interestingly enough, the Wind attribute dinosaurs, that are all also predatory theropods, tend to be portrayed as less aggressive and prone to attack, instead minding their own business more of the time.

* UniformityException: He is the only Triceratops in the entire series to be colored a goldish-orange color. All the other Triceratops in the DS Game and Arcade are colored a dull blue. Even the Triceratops herd seen in the premiere of Season 2 are colored dull greys.

* TheWorfEffect: To show how tough another dinosaur is, Terry is more often than not the one to be overpowered and defeated.

* CrystalWeapon: Thanks to Quake Saber, it can form a sword made of crystal on its tail.
* GentleGiant: The Euoplocephalus is very docile towards Amy.

* ChristmasCake: She’s beyond her twenties, and mentioning her age is a very sore point to her. Calling her old is a certified way to make her explode into an endless rage.

* MadeOfIron: In the Ancient Persia arc, he ends up trapped in a cave-in after Genie throws him towards a stalagmite that causes the cave to collapse. He escapes from the crumbled rocks unharmed, attributing it to his tough head.

* EvilCounterpart: To Chomp, being a violent Triceratops used by the Space Pirates. Despite this, Maximus develops more of a rivalry with Paris after she manages to defeat him in his very first fight by powering herself up with the green cosmo stone she swallowed.

* EvilCounterpart: To Chomp, being a violent Triceratops used by the Space Pirates. Despite this, Maximus develops more of a rivalry with Paris, who manages to defeat him in his very first fight when she is powered up by the green cosmo stone she swallowed.

* BareYourMidriff: Both of her outfits in the anime and the arcade game leave her middle section uncovered, likely to show her as someone used for hot climates due to her paleontological activities. In the anime at least is shown her shirt is full lenght, she just rolls up the bottom to show her midriff.

* {{Shorttank}}: A bossy, [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]], BadassAdorable [[FieryRedhead Fiery Pinkhead]] in short shorts? Yep, she counts.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He seems to have a crush on Seth, but also has a grandson in the arcade game, implying he may have married someone in the past.

* SissyVillain: Despite his intimidating appearance, Spectre is actually very feminine and sensitive, showing girly characteristics and behavior. In the arcade game he even BitingTheHandkerchief when you defeat him.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Ankylosaurus used by Foolscap in the second season has the honor of being the only dinosaur used by the Spectral Space Pirates to never lose at all, as it was recalled by its owner before the combined attack of Chomp, Ace and Paris could hit both it and Aramtus, and overall was shown to be a strong dinosaur. Despite this, Foolscap never uses it again, only using Armatus for the rest of the season and leaving the fate of the Ankylosaurus unadressed.

* LeeroyJenkins: It tries charging headfirst towards the Black T-Rex, only to be kicked away.

* LightningBruiser: It’s light on its’ feet and strong for its size. He's one of the few dinosaurs that manages to defeat Chomp despite his size and power.

* SuperSpeed: When it activates the move card Mayfly, it is charged with energy that can make it attack its opponent at blinding speeds.

* TroubledTeen: Pachycephalosaurus is identified as a teenager and is frequently compared to one. Ed even suggests getting him video games to calm down his rowdy nature.

* ProudBeauty: Both in the anime and the DS game she shows pride in her appearance, with her BerserkButton being called old and unattractive. In the DS game, the brainwashed workers from Dustberg even call her “Ursula the beautiful”.

* FlatCharacter: Contrary to the rest of the main dinosaurs (including TheStoic Brontikens), Gigas, [[ToughArmoredDinosaur Armatus]] and [[TemperCeratops Maximus]] barely display any personality and are basically used as glorified weapons by their owners.

* SignatureMon: All versions of him are heavily associated with the [[KingOfTheDinosaurs Tyrannosaurus rex]], referencing his ambition to become the dinosaur king. Ironically, in the first episode of the anime, he gets mad at Ed because in his virtual recreation of his kingdom of dinosaurs he only used Tyrannosaurus, instead of other dinosaur species, claiming he wants to be the king of all dinosaurs, not just T. rexes.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Somewhat of a subversion. Terry is a villainous character used by the Alpha Gang instead of the good guys, and is a genuinely strong fighter, but more often than not he's defeated by the dinosaur of the week and his record of battles constantly zigzags between success and failure.

* FlatCharacter: Contrary to the rest of the main dinosaurs (including TheStoic Brontikens), [[KingOfTheDinosaurs Gigas]], [[ToughArmoredDinosaur Armatus]] and [[TemperCeratops Maximus]] barely display any personality and are basically used as glorified weapons by their owners.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: As a modified Tyrannosaurus that Seth created for Gabbro, he shows the perception of the T. rex as a mean yet powerful apex predator.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: The Tyrannosaurus rex and all of its cousins (Daspletosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus...) are all included in this attribute, and are portrayed as powerful, fire-breathing magical dinosaurs.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: A smaller relative of the Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as the only tyrannosaur that appears in the anime other than Terry, the Black T. rex and Gigas (who all belong to the same species). However, it's portrayed as more chill and fun-loving rather than as a vicious predator.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: An exaggeration of the trope mixed with PrehistoricMonster. The Black T. rex is a huge Tyrannosaurus rivaling in size with some of the largest sauropods, possesses a lot of power and it's designed to be as badass as possible.

* AnimalsNotToScale: Recent studies on Megalosaurus estimate it to be 20 feet in length, which is smaller than ''Dinosaur King''s 30 foot long portrayal of the creature.
