* DeadLittleSister: Inverted and genderflipped. The dead sibling is Sabre's ''older brother'', killed in a war between the Wolven and the Vixon.



* FantasticRacism: The Wolven Tribe and Vixon Tribe are bitter rivals. The two species generally don't get along, and wars have been fought between them. One such war killed Randorn's elder son-- Sabre is the younger.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Randorn sent one of his sons off to war, only for said son to die in battle. Randorn's grief and anger led him to wander off, find a camp of Vixon, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge and kill everyone but Krystal]].

''Dinosaur Planet'' was far into development when it was ultimately canceled. Most, if not all, of the voice acting, had been done, much of the game was finished, and it had been shown off at several events.

The rom for the game prototype is available for download from the Internet Archive [[https://archive.org/details/dino_20210220 here.]] The most recent fan-made patch as of July 2022, referred to as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u3V71v-7zU "Dinomod Extended,"]] includes a complete restoration of Sabre's original dialogue and model, along with numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements to grant the game a more optimal performance for both emulators and real hardware.

* BigBadWannabe: Just like in ''Star Fox Adventures'', General Scales. To his credit he is a more consistent and present threat than he would be in ''Adventures'', but he is still no match for Drakor.

to:

* BigBadWannabe: Just like in ''Star Fox Adventures'', General Scales.Scales only appears to be the BigBad and is later usurped by the true villain. To his credit he is a more consistent and present threat than he would be in ''Adventures'', but he is still no match for Drakor.



* CutsceneBoss: Much like ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'', General Scales is apparently defeated in cutscenes without a proper boss battle. This time, Scales confronts Krystal and Princess Kyte in the Desert Force Point Temple as she shuts it down with the last [=SpellStone=]. This activates a teleporter, sending all three of them to the Golden Plains. Scales is unceremoniously defeated when he lands back-first on a rock, although [[WeWillMeetAgain he swears that he will have his revenge]] just before falling unconscious.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Than ''Star Fox Adventures'', with a lot more onscreen death, moral ambiguity and an overall gloomier and more somber atmosphere and tone.

* TheDragon: General Scales is this to Drakor.

to:

* TheDragon: General Scales is this TheHeavy and serves as the main villain for much of the plot, but he ultimately answers to Drakor.



* KillTheParentRaiseTheChild: Randorn killed everyone in a Vixon camp, including Krystal's parents. Upon finding the orphaned Krystal, his guilt drove him to adopt her and raise her.



* NoEnding: The condensed story outline ends on a cliffhanger as Sabre prepares to fight Drakor, and it raises several questions about the ending that will only be resolved by playing the game... unfortunately, the leaked build does not have a finished ending, essentially leaving these questions unanswered on the same cliffhanger as the previously mentioned story outline.
** There are voice lines in the game's files for what appears to be the ending, relating to the Allignemnet of the Majestic Eight (the planets of the galaxy). They were incomplete, somewhat out of context, and left a few questions unanswered [[spoiler: Like what became of Sabre ]] but from what there is: [[spoiler: the Krazoa would be revealed to be evil and unhinged, listing off the names of various planets and musing about their plans for conquest and to spread evil and death across the galaxy. It's not entirely clear if the alignment was stopped or not but Krystal, Sabre, and Randorn apparently would have made a break for the teleporter back to their homeworld, with at least Randorn (and likely Sabre) managing to get into it. Randorn would have attempted to tell Krystla the truth of him killing Krystal's tribe but he would end up failing to do so. Afterward, Krystal is stranded on Dinosaur Planet, as one of the Swap Stones notes his magic has faded however Krystal meets Trickey's parents, who state the tribes of Dinosaur Planet are gathering strength and aim to combat the Krazoa. It seems to have been intended to leave a *Sequel Hook. There are no lines confirming what became of Sabre, however.]]

* TheUnfought: Although the condensed story outline refers to Krystal defeating General Scales after a long-fought battle, this battle does not exist in the prototype build, instead he dies in a cutscene.

to:

* UncertainDoom: General Scales is defeated when he lands back-first on a rock and then passes out. Just before losing consciousness, he swears that [[WeWillMeetAgain he will have his revenge]], which would suggest that he survives; however, since he is never seen again in the story after this, he could just as likely have died.
