| 8 | [[caption-width-right:250: From left to right: Rex, Ace, Max, Chomp, Dr. Taylor, Paris, Zoe]] |
| 9 | The main characters from the series. A trio of dinosaur-loving friends that get into the conflict of the dinosaur cards after discovering the Stone Fragments of Lightning, Wind and Grass in the forest where the meteorite that was carrying them fell, allowing them to summon their dinosaur partner. Guided by Max's father (a famous paleontologist) and Zoe's sister (an accomplished scientist), they fight against the Alpha Gang to recover the dinosaur cards spreaded through the world so the evil organization doesn't abuse the dinosaurs inside them. |

| 12 | [[folder: In General]] |
| 13 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: When Chomp, Ace, and Paris are applied with Dinotector armor, they can use Ultimate Thunder, Ultimate Wind, and Ultimate Leaf respectively to charge themselves with their elemental energy and ram into their opponents. The force of these attacks are so strong, they often break through the Spectral Armor of the Spectral Space Pirates' dinosaurs. |
| 14 | * BlondBrunetteRedhead: Rex, Max and Zoe, respectively (Zoe being pinkheaded instead, however). |
| 15 | * FighterMageThief: The three dinosaurs of the D-Team follow this dynamic with their fighting styles. Chomp, the strongest physically and who fights head to head with other dinosaurs, is the Fighter; Paris, who doesn’t has powerful offensive attacks and instead uses buff, debuffs and summoning move cards, is the Mage; and Ace, who relies in very fast attacks but lacks the raw power of Chomp, is the Thief. |
| 16 | * PowerTrio: Max, Rex and Zoe fit this dynamic perfectly, being a trio of friends in which one is the main character, another his best friend, and the last one is a female friend. |

| 21 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/max_69.jpg]] |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The protagonist of the story. A young boy who loves dinosaurs whose father is a renowned paleontologist. He finds a set of strange stones that fell from a meteorite in a forest, where he meets his dinosaur partner Chomp the Triceratops. He is usually hotblooded and brash, but also compassionate and righteous. |
| 24 | ---- |
| 25 | * AnimeHair: He has the wild, spiky hair usual from anime protagonists. He inherited it from his father. |
| 26 | * CharacterCatchphrase: In the DS game, anytime he wins against a powerful enemy he says "That was an awesome battle!". |
| 27 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Rex’s Blue. Max is impulsive and acts before thinking, compared to Rex, more analytical and down to earth. |
| 28 | * SeriousBusiness: Lunch is this for him. In the 39th episode of the anime, he loses it when a Mapusaurus ruins his lunch and spends most of the episode trying to make it pay for that. |
| 29 | * SignatureMon: He's associated with the Triceratops (either Chomp or the normal playable Triceratops) in both the arcade, the anime and the DS game. |

| 32 | [[folder:Chomp (Gabu)]] |
| 33 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AsukaTanii (Japanese, episodes 01-62), Yuka Nakatsukasa (Japanese, episodes 63-79), Creator/KetherDonohue (English) |
| 34 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chomp.PNG]] |
| 35 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Battle form]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chomp_battle_form.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 36 | |
| 37 | A Triceratops and Max's dinosaur partner through the story. Very playful and with a habit of affectionately biting Max. |
| 38 | ---- |
| 39 | * TheAce: Chomp might be the best fighter in the series. He boasts an impressive set of Lightning move cards, has defeated the most dinosaurs in the series, and rarely displays moments of weakness like the rest of the main dinosaurs. |
| 40 | * BashBrothers: He and Ace often frequently team up to fight other dinosaurs. Sometimes, they defeat certain dinosaurs together. |
| 41 | * TheBigGuy: As a ceratopsian, he is physically the strongest of the D-Team’s dinosaurs, usually doing most of the heavy work in battles. |
| 42 | * BiteOfAffection: His name is Chomp for a reason! |
| 43 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: While Chomp may be a formidable fighter, he prefers to play and coexist peacefully with other dinosaurs than fight them. |
| 44 | * {{Expy}}: He looks very similar to [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] in his chibi form. Both of them are even pets of the main character who use lightning-based attacks and receive a significant amount of attention acting as the mascots for their series. |
| 45 | * InterspeciesFriendship: Chomp is great friends with Ace and Paris, two vastly different dinosaurs who play with him and fight alongside him. He also quickly befriends fellow Ceratopsians like Styracosaurus, Anchicertops, and Torosaurus. |
| 46 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: He is still pretty strong in his chibi form, as he was able to flip over an alligator with his head while lost in the jungle! |
| 47 | * ShockAndAwe: As a ceratopsian, he fights using powerful lightning attacks. |
| 48 | * TemperCeratops: Downplayed. Chomp is a tough fighter when the time to battle comes, but most of the time he’s a docile, playful dinosaur. |
| 49 | * TropeyComeHome: Chomp wanders off on his own in a lot of episodes. He always ends up eventually coming back to Max though. |
| 50 | * 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 grays. |

| 53 | [[folder:Rex Owen]] |
| 54 | -> '''Voiced by''': Matsuri Mizuguchi (Japanese), Sebastian Arcelus (English), Julia Martínez (European Spanish) |
| 55 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rex_4.jpg]] |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Max's best friend and one of the protagonists of the story. Adopted by a paleontologist who was friends with Dr. Taylor, he lives with him and Max as his adoptive father is usually busy in excavations. His partner is Ace the Carnotaurus. He's usually more calm and collected than Max, but can be as inmature if pussed enough. |
| 58 | ---- |
| 59 | * DubNameChange: Averted. He's one of the few characters whose name doesn't change in the Japanese and English version, likely because he has an English name. |
| 60 | * TheLancer: He is Max's adopted brother and is just as skilled as he is when it comes to fighting with their dinosaurs. |
| 61 | * RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Max (and Zoe)'s Red. He is calm and usually thinks before acting, contrasting the hotblooded attitude of his friends. He even wears primarily blue clothes. |
| 62 | * SignatureMon: He's associated with the Carnotaurus (either Ace or the normal playable Carnotaurus) in both the arcade, the anime and the DS game. |
| 63 | [[/folder]] |
| 64 | |
| 65 | [[folder:Ace]] |
| 66 | -> '''Voiced by''': Seiko Tamura (Japanese), Creator/EricStuart (English) |
| 67 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ace.PNG]][[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Battle form]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ace_battle_form.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 68 | |
| 69 | A Carnotaurus and Rex's dinosaur partner through the story. A very fast dinosaur specialized in quick attacks. He has a crippling fear of large bodies of water. |
| 70 | ---- |
| 71 | * BashBrothers: He and Chomp often frequently team up to fight other dinosaurs. Sometimes, they defeat certain dinosaurs together. |
| 72 | * BlowYouAway: As a medium sized theropod, he fights using fast wind attacks. |
| 73 | * BlueIsHeroic: He is a blue Carnotaurus who is a part of the D-Team. |
| 74 | * DopplegangerAttack: Ace's Ninja Attack gives him the ability to create translucent duplicates of himself that rapidly run through his opponent from all sides. Tank is often on the receiving end of this attack. |
| 75 | * DubNameChange: Like his owner, he averts this, as his name is unchanged in the English version from the Japanese one. |
| 76 | * FragileSpeedster: He hits hard and his attacks are very fast, but lacks the physical endurance of Chomp. As such, if he's hit with a very powerful move he's usually defeated. |
| 77 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Ace is still a dinosaur that is 7 feet tall and 20 feet long, but he is capable of beating dinosaurs even bigger and heavier than him. |
| 78 | * PredatorsAreMean: Subverted. Despite being a predatory dinosaur, Ace is one of the heroes and a good natured dinosaur. |
| 79 | * SuperSpeed: When move cards like Ninja Attack are activated, he can move extremely fast and attack his opponent from all sides at rapid fire speed. |
| 80 | * TokenMinority: A species case. Ace is the only theropod and saurischian dinosaur of the D-Team. |
| 81 | * UseYourHead: Thanks to his pair of brow horns, he often rams into his opponents. |
| 82 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Ace is very uncomfortable around water. |
| 83 | [[/folder]] |
| 84 | |
| 85 | [[folder:Zoe Drake (Malm Tatsuno)]] |
| 86 | -> '''Voiced by''': Tomoko Kobashi (Japanese), Creator/KetherDonohue (usually) Annice Moriarty (credited in a few episodes) (English), Marta Argota (European Spanish) |
| 87 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zoe_6.jpg]] |
| 88 | |
| 89 | The only girl of the trio and another friend from Max. Though sweet and bubbly usually, she can be fearsome when angered. She has a rivalry with Ursula because she has a tendency to call her an old lady. |
| 90 | ---- |
| 91 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the DS game, Zoe isn't playable and remains as a supporting character that doesn't has her own [=DinoShot=] nor a dinosaur under her command, thus she remains irrelevant for the plot except for the post-game, when the player has to retrieve personal objects of hers that the Alpha Gang stole as revenge for their defeat in Antarctica. |
| 92 | * 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, her shirt is shown full length, she just rolls up the bottom to show her midriff. |
| 93 | * CanonImmigrant: Originally created for the anime series, she was eventually introduced as a character in the arcade. |
| 94 | * DemotedToExtra: She's an NPC in the DS game and her contribution to the story is minimal except for kickstarting the post-game of the story. |
| 95 | * FieryRedhead: A pink variant. She's normally sweet and caring, but she can be fierce, competitive and bossy on certain instances. |
| 96 | * MsFanservice: Especially in the original Japanese version. She has her midsection exposed and some of the poses she does when she activates her dinosaur cards are very suggestive. |
| 97 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Though she can be bossy and tough, Zoe is ultimately a good person that genuinely cares for her friends. |
| 98 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She likes hobbies usually liked by males such as paleontology or football, but on occasions she has shown feminine behavior such as dressing Paris in cute clothing or fawning over boys. |
| 99 | * SignatureMon: She's associated with the Parasaurolophus (either Paris or the normal playable Parasaurolophus) in both the arcade and the anime. |
| 100 | * {{Shorttank}}: A bossy, midriff-baring, BadassAdorable [[FieryRedhead Fiery Pinkhead]] in short shorts? Yep, she counts. |
| 101 | * ValleyGirl: Like any other character played by Annice Moriarty/Kether Donohue. |
| 102 | [[/folder]] |
| 103 | |
| 104 | [[folder:Paris (Parapara)]] |
| 105 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YurikoFuchizaki (Japanese) |
| 106 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paris.PNG]] |
| 107 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Battle form]][[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paris_battle_form.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 108 | |
| 109 | A Parasaurolophus and Zoe's dinosaur partner through the story. Loves to sing and dance like her master. |
| 110 | ---- |
| 111 | * CharacterTic: She likes to sing at all times (independently if it sounds good or not), a reference to the sounds the real Parasaurolophus made with its crest. |
| 112 | * CuteButCacophonic: Her singing usually can get annoying if she’s left unchecked. |
| 113 | * FourLegsGoodTwoLegsBetter: She is normally quadrupedal like the real Parasaurolophus was believed to have been, but she sometimes moves on two legs to move faster. |
| 114 | * GentleGiant: She's the biggest dinosaur of the D-Team, but she's generally sweet and peaceful (though still a competent fighter). |
| 115 | * GlassCannon: Paris may be a tougher than she looks, but she cannot take a whole lot of punishment compared to Chomp or even Ace. |
| 116 | * GreenThumb: As an ornithopod, she fights using Grass moves, usually as support as opposed to offensive attacks. |
| 117 | * MakeSomeNoise: She can use her powerful voice to generate sound waves able to stun enemies, another reference (albeit a very exaggerated one) to real hadrosaur noises. |
| 118 | * SummonBiggerFish: Her Big Foot Assault move card allows her to summon a humongous Seismosaurus that is so big no dinosaur can even scratch it. |
| 119 | * WhiteMagicianGirl: Paris's move cards usually center in healing allies or debuffing enemies, contrasting the more offensive movesets of Chomp and Ace. The times she performs an offensive attack, it usually is by summoning other dinosaurs/pterosaurs. |
| 120 | [[/folder]] |
| 121 | |
| 122 | [[folder:Spike Taylor (Kenryu Kodai)]] |
| 123 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/NaoyaUchida (Japanese), Creator/DavidWills (English), Iñaki Alonso (European Spanish) |
| 124 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dr_taylor_8.jpg]] |
| 125 | |
| 126 | Father of Max. A famous yet childish paleontologist with an excitable personality that loves dinosaurs. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * AdventurerArchaeologist: Or Adventurer Paleontologist in this case. Dr. Taylor is clearly based in Indiana Jones and his clothes and looks clearly evoke this trope. |
| 129 | * AnimeHair: The times he doesn't wears his hat, it is shown he has the same spiky hairstyle as Max. |
| 130 | * DemotedToExtra: In the DS game, he's barely relevant in the story of the game, and his main contribution to it is to supply the player with Mystery Fossils in his Dinoman persona if they find enough dinosaurs. |
| 131 | * DishingOutDirt: Though he never owns a dinosaur properly in the anime, in the arcade game he's usually associated with the Earth element. |
| 132 | * {{Expy}}: As a variant of an AdventurerArchaeologist, wearing a hat and using a whip, Dr. Taylor seems to be based on Franchise/IndianaJones. |
| 133 | * GoodParents: He loves his son Max ''very'' much and is more than willing to spend time with him. |
| 134 | * HappilyMarried: He's very much in love with his wife Aki, and their relationship still goes strong after years of marriage. |
| 135 | * {{Manchild}}: Very energetic and excitable for his age, especially if something is related to dinosaurs, to the embarrassment of Max. He can still be serious when the situation is needed, however. |
| 136 | * ManlyFacialHair: He sports a rather impressive beard that serves to enhance his looks as a paleontologist that usually works on field instead of expending time in the laboratory. |
| 137 | * OutOfFocus: As a result of being kidnapped by the Spectral Space Pirates in the second season, his role gets severely diminished as a result. |
| 138 | [[/folder]] |

| 140 | [[folder:Reese Drake (Riasu Tatsuno)]] |
| 141 | -> '''Voiced by''': Eri Komiyama (Japanese), Creator/RachaelLillis (English), Silvia Evora (European Spanish) |
| 142 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reese.PNG]] |
| 143 | |
| 144 | Zoe's responsible and taciturn older sister, who also acts as Dr. Taylor's assistant and the unofficial head of the D-Lab. She's also the one who created the Dino Holders. |
| 145 | ---- |
| 146 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Compared to her stern and no-nonsense anime self, her DS version usually smiles gently and is a lot more openly nice. |
| 147 | * AscendedExtra: Not that she was a minor character, but the DS game upgrades her to the BigGood of the story, while in the anime she acts as the NumberTwo of Dr. Taylor, the closest thing to a BigGood in the first season of the anime. |
| 148 | * BigGood: In the DS game, she provides the player and their partner with everything they need for their quest (including upgrading their [=DinoShots=]) and in general acts as the primary commanding figure of the D-Team. |
| 149 | * EmotionlessGirl: In the anime, she rarely expresses her feelings beyond mild annoyance at Dr. Taylor's antics. She's more emotional in the arcade and the DS game, however. |
| 150 | * GreenThumb: She doesn't use any dinosaurs either in the anime or the DS game, but in the arcade she's associated with the Grass element like her sister. |
| 151 | * MoralityPet: Is this to Zander. He's willing to go against the Alpha Gang and Dr. Z (that for all purposes is his adoptive father) just for her sake. |
| 152 | * OutOfFocus: In the second season, she stays in the present while the D-Team and the Alpha Gang go to the past to retrieve the Cosmos Stones, so she appears less frequently. |
| 153 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: As a genius able to create most of the technology of the D-Lab, she's shown wearing glasses. |
| 154 | * StoicSpectacles: A female version. While Reese wears glasses and is attractive, she comes across as a cool beauty rather than your average BespectacledCutie. |
| 155 | * WhenSheSmiles: She's normally serious and stoic, but can smile sweetly in certain instances. |
| 156 | [[/folder]] |

| 160 | [[caption-width-right:250: From left to right: Ursula, Terry, Dr. Z, Ed, Spiny, Zander, Rod, Tank, Laura, Seth]] |
| 161 | |
| 162 | The antagonists of the first season. A mysterious organization led by Dr. Z that wants to retrieve their dinosaur cards, which were dropped around the world. They use robots and strange machinery for their purposes. It is eventually revealed that they brainwash the dinosaurs they capture, making them fight for their cause, which makes the D-Team more determined to recover the dinosaur cards themselves. |
| 163 | ----- |
| 164 | |
| 165 | [[folder: In General]] |
| 166 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the DS game, though they still retain some quirks, each one of them is a serious threat for the world, including the more incompetent members like Dr. Z and the Alpha Trio. |
| 167 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike in the anime, the Alpha Gang members remain as villains in the DS game and never turn over a new leaf. |
| 168 | * ArmorPiercingAttack: When Terry, Spiny, and Tank are applied with Dinotector armor, they can use Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Water, and Ultimate Earth respectively to charge themselves with their elemental energy and ram into their opponents. The force of these attacks are so strong, they often break through the Spectral Armor of the Spectral Space Pirates' dinosaurs. |
| 169 | * ButtMonkey: The Alpha Trio and Dr. Z are often subjected to multiple abuse (physical or not) and disrespect through the series, sometimes due to their own incompetence, sometimes cause their luck just suck. |
| 170 | * EvilIsPetty: In the DS game, after completing the main story they attack Zoe and steal her personal things to spite the D-Team for thwarting their plans in Antarctica. |
| 171 | * HazyFeelTurn: Despite allying themselves with the D-Team to stop Seth at the end of the first season, Dr. Z and the Alpha Trio still want to fulfill their goal of being rulers of the dinosaurs and in the second season, during some instances they end up betraying Max and his friends and fighting against them again. It is however PlayedForLaughs, as their bad luck and the new threat of the Spectral Space Pirates really impedes their betrayal from succeeding. |
| 172 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: The Alpha Trio (and Dr. Z for that matter) is so incompetent it gives Team Rocket a run out for their money. They, however, sometimes DO have success and there are episodes where they end stealing the dinosaur of the week from the D-Team. |
| 173 | * LaughablyEvil: With the exception of Seth, the remaining members are incompetently comedic and tend to be more amusing than evil. |
| 174 | * MechaMooks: They use a bunch of robots known as Alpha Droids as their main mooks, usually for heavy tasks or restraining dinosaurs. The Alpha Droids depending on their function feature a different design each one. |
| 175 | * OddlySmallOrganization: Other than the Alpha Droids, the dinosaurs they use and Helga the maid (which later is also revealed to be another android), the actual organization is composed of 7 members. It is even smaller in the arcade and the DS game, where Helga (being an anime only creation) doesn't appear. |
| 176 | * PerpetualFrowner: Unlike the dinosaurs of the D-team, the Alpha Gang’s main dinosaurs are less emotional and their expression is set in a perpetual scowl. |
| 177 | * TeamRocketWins: The Alpha Gang sometimes beat the dinosaur of the episode and take their cards from Max and his friends. Unfortunately, in most instances their own incompetence ends with them losing their cards sooner or later. |
| 178 | * TerribleTrio: Ursula, Zander and Ed form one in similar lines to the Dorombo Gang and Team Rocket, being a trio composed of an assertive, temperamental female and two males (one lanky and another round) with a more submissive personality. |
| 179 | * TwoGirlsToATeam: Ursula and Laura are the only girls of the group in the arcade and the DS game. The anime averts this with [[BrawnHilda Helga]] acting as a third female member (albeit as a maid rather than a proper member). |

| 182 | [[folder:Dr. Z (Dr. Sonoida)]] |
| 183 | -> '''Voiced by''': Tetsuo Goto (Japanese), Creator/EricStuart (English), Creator/JaimeRoca (European Spanish) |
| 184 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dr_z.jpg]] |
| 185 | |
| 186 | The main antagonist of the first series and leader of the Alpha Gang. A mad scientist that wants to recover the dinosaur cards scattered through the world in order to become the king of the dinosaurs. |
| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the DS game, he's never betrayed by Seth and remains as the main threat of the game, and much of his silly quirks from the anime are replaced with a more serious personality. |
| 189 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the anime, he remains as a NonActionBigBad that rarely uses dinosaurs and leaves most of the heavy work to his subordinates. In the arcade game, however, he does have dinosaurs he uses to fight the player. |
| 190 | * AntagonistTitle: Both the Japanese (roughly translated as "Ancient King of the Dinosaurs") and English titles of the franchise refer to Dr. Z's desire to obtain all the dinosaur cards and name himself the king of the dinosaurs. |
| 191 | * BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: In the anime, he experimented on a Pachycephalosaurus by fusing energy into his skull, trained and punished a Therizinosaurus, and put the Deinonychus trio through rigorous ninja tests to make them the perfect ninja. Even though Dr. Z still loves his Secret dinosaurs, each of them do not have very fond memories of him to say the least. They even end up attacking him in some capacity when they see him again. |
| 192 | * BigBad: As the leader of the Alpha Gang, he's the main antagonist of the first season, as well as the DS game. He loses this position to Seth and later Spectre later in the anime, in which he pulls a HeelFaceTurn. |
| 193 | * BigBadWannabe: Despite being the main villain of Season 1, his short temper, incompetence and bad luck makes him look like an utter fool. It culminates with Seth betraying him at the end of the season. |
| 194 | * BaldOfEvil: He's practically bald except for a few locks of hair that sprout out of his head. It serves to show he's both evil and old. |
| 195 | * BeardOfEvil: His spiky white beard serves to show him as a villainous character. |
| 196 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely loves the modified dinosaurs he raised, even if they loathe him. He also really loves his grandsons and even the Alpha Trio (that he adopted along with the father of Rod and Laura), even if he treats them like dirt most of the time. |
| 197 | * EvilOldFolks: A shriveled, nasty old man who betrayed Rex's parents and wants the dinosaur cards for selfish reasons. |
| 198 | * LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: Almost always seen wearing a white lab coat, showing him as a scientist (a mad one at that). |
| 199 | * MadScientist: As much of a wimp Dr. Z is, there's no denying he's a true genius. He can turn dinosaurs into stronger Alpha variants (like he did with the Acrocanthosaurus in the anime) and he's the one who invented the Secret attribute, the only one rivaling his intellect being Seth. Unfortunately, he tends to use his mind for selfish and evil purposes. |
| 200 | * MiniatureSeniorCitizens: He's barely any taller than his grandchildren, and the elementary schooler protagonists tower over him. |
| 201 | * NonActionBigBad: He doesn't have a dinosaur properly in the anime, unlike his arcade and DS counterparts, meaning he usually doesn't get into the action. There have been some instances where he has unoffically used one of the secret dinosaurs he raised to fight the D-Team. |
| 202 | * PetTheDog: He adopted the father of Rod and Laura, as well as the Alpha Trio, from an orphanage for completely selfless motives, and is shown he really cares for them despite how short-tempered he can be. |
| 203 | * PlayingWithFire: In the arcade and DS game, he's commonly associated with fire dinosaurs. In the DS game, all of his dinosaurs (except the Eoraptor he uses against the player in the post -game rematch) are from the fire attribute, including a Tyrannosaurus, a Mapusaurus and two Saurophaganax. |
| 204 | * PsychopathicManchild: PlayedForLaughs. Dr. Z is a nasty, evil old man with an obsession with dinosaurs (especially being their king) and self-entitlement that wouldn't be strange from a child. |
| 205 | * SignatureMon: All versions of him are heavily associated with the UsefulNotes/TyrannosaurusRex, 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. |

| 210 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ursula_2.jpg]] |
| 211 | |
| 212 | The unofficial leader of the Alpha Trio. A very vain woman very sensitive about her age, to the point calling her old is a VERY easy way to release her wrath. |
| 213 | ---- |
| 214 | * AdaptationalModesty: In the arcade game, Ursula wears a short dress that leaves her shoulders and legs exposed. The dress also brings attention to her cleavage. In the anime, Ursula wears a jumpsuit-like outfit that covers most of her body except her arms. That being said, she still has a diamond shaped cutout that shows her bellybutton. She also has quite the [[{{Fanservice}} voluptuous body]]. |
| 215 | * AttentionWhore: In the DS game, she craves for male attention, to the point ignoring her leads to her threatening the player. |
| 216 | * BeautyIsBad: While she tends to fail to seduce others in the anime despite being a good looking woman (with the exception of Dr. Owen), in the DS she uses her beautiful appearance to mind control the male workers from the Dustberg. |
| 217 | * BerserkButton: Being called an old lady drives her incredibly livid. It goes to a point that she can hear someone calling her an old lady even if the perpetrators are kilometers from her, or even if they aren't referring to her! |
| 218 | * ControlFreak: She bosses Zander and Ed around like there is no tomorrow. When Dr. Z or Helga enter the picture though, she immediately becomes subservient. |
| 219 | * ElementalHairColors: She has green hair like the grass dinosaurs she uses. |
| 220 | * GreenThumb: She specializes in grass dinosaurs in the DS game, using a Maiasaura, a Tsintaosaurus, a(n) (Alpha) Ouranosaurus and a (Super Alpha) Iguanodon. |
| 221 | * ItsAllAboutMe: She's usually self-centered and selfish, but has a good side underneath. |
| 222 | ** Played straight in the DS game, when she gets furious if you reject her offer to join the Alpha Gang and claims that you shouldn't waste your time saving the dinosaurs and should love her instead. |
| 223 | * NoblewomansLaugh: In the DS game, she laughs like this when things go her way, with the usual pose that goes with the laugh too. |
| 224 | * NumberTwo: With Seth out of the picture, she more or less becomes Dr. Z's second in command during the second season thanks to being the de-facto boss of the Alpha Trio, the main servants of the doctor. |
| 225 | * OldMaid: 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. |
| 226 | * 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". |
| 227 | * SignatureMon: In the anime, she frequently switches between the main dinosaurs of the Alpha Gang, so she doesn't have any assigned one. The game gives her both the Alpha Ouranosaurus and the Super Alpha Iguanodon, however. |
| 228 | * SmugSnake: She thinks she is a lot smarter than she actually is, which often ends up backfiring in her face in some sort of way. |
| 229 | * TheVamp: In the DS game, she abducts and hypnotizes the male workers from the North American zone so they all worship her unconditionally, making them abandon their wives. She even goes her way to add children like the player and Max/Rex to her fanclub. |
| 230 | * WeCanRuleTogether: When Max and Rex confront her in the DS game, she offers them to become her slaves and join the Alpha Gang. You can even say "Yes" to her offer if you desire, but in that case, the character you don't play will intercede and claim you won't join her. |

| 262 | * DishingOutDirt: He specializes in earth dinosaurs in the DS game, using an Edmontonia, a(n) (Alpha) Wuerhosaurus and a (Super Alpha) Kentrosaurus. |
| 263 | * FatBastard: Downplayed in the anime, where he works for an evil organization, but his incompetence and generally good disposition make him one of the least evil members of the organization. Played straight in the DS game, however, where he's portrayed as a smug and obnoxious evil hacker with a portly physique. |
| 264 | * HiddenDepths: He's shown to be technology savvy, as in the first episode he makes a virtual recreation of Dr. Z's dinosaur kingdom. |
| 265 | * SignatureMon: In the anime, he frequently switches between the main dinosaurs of the Alpha Gang, so he doesn't have any assigned one. The game gives him both the Alpha Wuerhosaurus and the Alpha Kentrosaurus, however. |

| 273 | ---- |
| 274 | * BerserkButton: In the DS game, calling her a little girl prompts her to cry, to disastrous effect. |
| 275 | * BerserkerTears: In the DS game, her tears actually invigorate her enough to send people flying away with her tantrum. |
| 276 | * BlowYouAway: She specializes in wind dinosaurs in the DS game, using a Ceratosaurus, a(n) (Alpha) Dilophosaurus, a Utahraptor and a (Super Alpha) Allosaurus. |
| 277 | * BrotherSisterTeam: She often works with her brother in the anime. |
| 278 | * DaddysLittleVillain: In the DS game, she's this to Dr. Z, who spoils her a lot and cannot ignore a petition from her when she starts to cry. |
| 279 | * OcularGushers: Very frequently in the DS game when she's upset. |
| 280 | * SignatureMon: In the anime, she frequently switches between the main dinosaurs of the Alpha Gang, so she doesn't have any assigned one. The game gives her both the Alpha Dilophosaurus and the Super Alpha Allosaurus, however. |

| 287 | |
| 288 | A member of the Alpha Gang and grandson of Dr. Z. He can come as arrogant, but has a good heart. He's not normally sent to missions, but proves to be more competent than the Alpha Trio when he does. |
| 289 | ---- |
| 290 | * AvengingTheVillain: After you defeat the Alpha Gang in Europe in the DS game, he decides to go to Asia to avenge the defeat of his sister at the hands of the player. |
| 291 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He's very protective of Laura and messing with her is a sure way to anger him. He exclusively comes to Asia in the DS game to make the player pay for making her cry in his battle with her in Europe. |
| 292 | * BrotherSisterTeam: He often works alongside his sister in the anime. |
| 293 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In the DS game, after you defeat him the first time in the Darkwood forest, he tells Max and Rex that Zander is the culprit of the sleeping sickness affecting the inhabitants of the Gobi village, arguing that, though he's not betraying the Alpha Gang, he dislikes Zander's methods and that's why he tells the main characters that information. |
| 294 | * EvilCounterpart: Can be seen as one to Max, especially in the DS game. Both are kids around the same age with a very impulsive personality who specialize in lightning dinosaurs. |
| 295 | * HotBlooded: In the DS game, he's shown to be as competitive and impulsive as Max. |
| 296 | * MotorMouth: He's fond of giving lengthy speeches in the DS game. Even Max lampshades this after he defeats him for the first time. |
| 297 | * SignatureMon: In the anime, he frequently switches between the main dinosaurs of the Alpha Gang, so he doesn't have any assigned one. The game gives him both the Alpha and the Super Alpha, however. |

| 304 | |
| 305 | A Tyrannosaurus Rex who is the Alpha Gang's most used dinosaur. |
| 306 | ---- |
| 307 | * TheAce: Though often subjected to TheWorfEffect, Terry nonetheless remains as the strongest and most competent dinosaur of the Alpha Gang, being the dinosaur in their possession who has defeated the most enemies and the only one of them who has defeated all three main dinosaurs of the D-Team at least once. His losses mostly steem from the incompetence of the Alpha Trio or Dr. Z. |
| 308 | * CuteLittleFangs: He has 4 fangs in his mouth when in his chibi form. |
| 309 | * EvilEggEater: In episode 6, Terry is shown to be interested in eating the egg of the Maiasaura. He almost bites it until the timely intervention of Paris manages to save the egg. |
| 310 | * KillerRabbit: Terry in his chibi form is adorable and chubby, but also very aggressive and prone to bite others. |
| 311 | * MascotVillain: Terry is featured prominently in promotional material for the series, yet he is the main dinosaur for the antagonists. |
| 312 | * OhCrap: Has a spectacular one when he sees the Black T. rex for the first time and realizes how much it outclasses him in size. |
| 313 | * PlayingWithFire: As a tyrannosaur, Terry primarily uses devastating fire move cards. |
| 314 | * RedIsViolent: He is a bright red Tyrannosaurus who acts aggressive to everyone. Even when not in his battle mode, he isn't exactly cuddly. |
| 315 | * TheRival: To Chomp, following the traditional rivalry between the T. rex and the Triceratops that happens in media (and happened in real life). |
| 316 | * TerrifyingTyrannosaur: Terry is a villainous dinosaur used by the Alpha Gang for their nefarious purposes, and is shown as a fearsome and strong fighter that is also the powerhouse of the dinosaurs of the Alpha Gang. |
| 317 | * TheWorfEffect: To show how tough another [[MonsterOfTheWeek dinosaur of the week]] is, Terry is more often than not the one to be overpowered and defeated. |

| 322 | |
| 323 | A Spinosaurus who started out as a wild dinosaur in Egypt before being used as another dinosaur to fight for the Alpha Gang. |
| 324 | ---- |
| 325 | * ALizardNamedLiz: Spiny is a Spinosaurus. |
| 326 | * ButtMonkey: Spiny is regularly thrown around and beaten by other dinosaurs. He just might be the most abused dinosaur out of the main dinosaur cast with how constantly he gets overpowered. |
| 327 | * LeanAndMean: He has a rather thin build compared to Terry and Tank, but makes up for it by being a ferocious adversary. |
| 328 | * MakingASplash: As a spinosaurid, he uses several water-based attacks. |
| 329 | * PaperTiger: He may be the largest dinosaur on the Alpha Gang's team, but he is actually quite a pushover. He can be a formidable fighter on occasions, but usually against smaller dinosaurs. That being said, some smaller dinosaurs like Ace can have an easy time taking him down. |
| 330 | * RunningGag: He is constantly sent flying into the air by another dinosaur. Variants of this gag include him landing on top of the Alpha Gang and squashing them flat. |
| 331 | * SavageSpinosaurs: He is a hostile Spinosaurus that is used by the Alpha Gang to attack other dinosaurs. |
| 332 | * TailSlap: Spiny's preferred method of attack. |
| 333 | * ThrowTheDogABone: After multiple fights of him either defeating weak dinosaurs or getting easily beaten in return, Spiny finally has his chance to shine during an impressive fight against Foolscap's Jobaria, that he ends winning at the end. |
| 334 | ** He is also the only Alpha Gang dinosaur who is still left standing after defeating one of the Spectral Space Pirates armored dinosaurs (Terry and Gigas defeated each other, while Tank did not defeat any of them). To be fair, having Ace and Chomp to assist him probably played a role in that. |

| 339 | |
| 340 | A Saichania who started out as a wild dinosaur activated in a museum in London only to be used as another dinosaur to fight for the Alpha Gang. |
| 341 | ---- |
| 342 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Tank is much taller and wider than the real Saichania. She also possesses very pointy spikes across her body, even though a Saichania like her would have more rounded osteoderms covering her body. |
| 343 | * BeTheBall: In her chibi form, Tank can move herself around by curling her body into a ball like an armadillo. |
| 344 | * DishingOutDirt: As a thyreophoran, she uses earth-based movements. |
| 345 | * ElementalBarrier: Tank uses the move card Earth Barrier to slam into the ground so chunks of earth will be forced into the air and fuse into a protective glowing shield. Despite its effectiveness against Daspletosaurus's attack, this move card was only used once. |
| 346 | * FlippingHelpless: When she is thrown onto her back, she is rendered unable to get back up. |
| 347 | * HerbivoresAreFriendly: Averted. After being modified to be more aggressive by Dr. Z, Tank is just as hostile as her theropod teammates, and has even defeated a few herbivorous dinosaurs herself. |
| 348 | * MeaningfulName: Tank is a fitting name for an ankylosaur, dinosaurs which were known as "living tanks" by paleontologists. |
| 349 | * NobodyHereButUsStatues: In her first appearance, when Max is searching for her in a dark exhibit in the museum, he mistakes Tank for one of the model dinosaurs before she blinks. |
| 350 | * RedemptionDemotion: Once the Alpha Gang start fighting alongside the D-Team in Season 2, Tank is not used that often and is not as successful when she fights. The only fight she wins in Season 2 is against the armored Carcharadontosaurus. Otherwise, she loses every other fight she is in. |
| 351 | * SamusIsAGirl: As a result of having a less feminine behavior compared to Paris, it's easy to miss that she's a female dinosaur. The English dub at first even referred to her as male (tough correctly called her a female in later appearances). |
| 352 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female among the Alpha Gang dinosaurs. |
| 353 | * ToughArmoredDinosaur: She is an ankylosaur who can hold her own very well in a fight. |

| 358 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seth_4.jpg]] |
| 359 | |
| 360 | Dr. Z's second in command. A stoic, serious scientist unfazed by nothing and expert in modifying dinosaur cards. Despite his calm exterior, his intentions are in truth way more sinister than expected... |
| 361 | ---- |
| 362 | * TheAce: Of the Alpha Gang as a whole, both in the anime and the DS game, being the most competent and effective of its members. In the DS game, Ursula even refers to him as a powerhouse. |
| 363 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: All the damn time. If he serves anyone, he will surely betray them at some point in order to complete his ambition. He did it to Dr. Ancient and Dr. Cretacia, later to the Alpha Gang, and ultimately to the Spectral Space Pirates. It goes to a point where Dr. Z complains in the climax of the second season why do they keep trusting Seth when it's obvious he's gonna betray them sooner or later. |
| 364 | * TheDragon: Acts as the second in command of both Dr. Z and later Spectre, being also the strongest member of the Alpha Gang. |
| 365 | * DragonInChief: Compared to his boss Dr. Z, Seth comes off as more professional and threatening. |
| 366 | * EvilutionaryBiologist: At the end of the first season, his endgame is revealed to be creating mutant dinosaurs so the Earth can be ruled by them again. |
| 367 | * AnIcePerson: In the second season, his SignatureMon is a Cryolophosaurus, a secret dinosaur with the ability to use ice attacks. It remains as the only dinosaur of the franchise able to achieve such a feat. |
| 368 | * KnightOfCerebus: Anytime he has an active role in an episode expect things to get much more serious. The darkest parts of the show have involved him in some way or another. |
| 369 | * MadScientist: Almost as good, or even better, than Dr. Z. Seth's skills to create altered dinosaurs and move cards is impeccable, with his magnum opus being the Black Tyrannosaurus, a sauropod-sized T. rex with a huge amount of power. In the second season, he also engineers the special dinosaurs the Spectral Space Pirates use in the last two arcs of the series. |
| 370 | * MakingASplash: He specializes in water dinosaurs in the DS game, using two Spinosaurus, (an) Alpha Suchomimus, a Baryonyx and (a) Super Alpha Irritator. |
| 371 | * MaskOfSanity: While he appears at first as an impeccable and serious man, as the series advances and his cover is blown, it is clear that Seth is in truth a deranged individual that only cares about his goals and will sacrifice anyone if that means he can fulfill them. All his cool goes away when his Black Tyrannosaurus is created, LaughingMad at the sight of the destruction caused by the beast. Though he returns to his calm and collected persona in Season 2, by that time he only usually hides his nasty side when it's convenient for him. |
| 372 | * MysteriousPast: Though the past of the rest of the Alpha Gang members is revealed in more or less detail, Seth's background is a total enigma except for the part that he once worked for Dr. Ancient and later betrayed him. As such the origin from aspects of his personality such as his obsession with dinosaurs ruling the Earth again remain uncovered. |
| 373 | * PlayingWithFire: He favors fire dinosaurs in the first season of the anime, like the Saurophaganax and the Black Tyrannosaurus. |
| 374 | * PrettyBoy: Compared to his male teammates (in both the Alpha Gang and the Spectral Space Pirates), Seth possesses a more youthful and attractive face. |
| 375 | * PsychopathicManchild: A darker version than Dr. Z. Seth shows an almost child-like interest in dinosaurs and wants them to rule the world again without caring about how that may affect people. Overall, his interest in dinosaurs comes as twistedly childish. |
| 376 | * TheStarscream: He betrays Dr. Z in the last episodes of the first season to use the technology of the Alpha Gang's Zeta Point to create his Black T. rex and begin his plan of creating mutated dinosaurs to rule the world. In the second season, he also ends up betraying the Spectral Space Pirates to get the Cosmos Stones for himself and his goals, though unfortunately for him, Spectre and his forces end up being more competent than Dr. Z. |
| 377 | * TheStoic: He is quite reserved, especially early on in the series. |
| 378 | * TokenHuman: After being rescued by them, he becomes the only human among the Spectral Space Pirates. |
| 379 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: While Dinosaur King is a lighthearted anime and the Alpha Gang are mostly LaughablyEvil, Seth certainly is not, and unlike the other members, he never gets PlayedForLaughs at all, with most of his scenes being noticeably grimmer than the usual. It tells something when the Spectral Space Pirates (who are more evil than the Alpha Gang were) still have some quirks and comedic moments, while Seth remains serious to the very end. |
| 380 | * WalkingSpoiler: |
| 381 | ** It's difficult to talk about him without mentioning his betrayal to the Alpha Gang and his involvement in creating the Black Tyrannosaurus. |
| 382 | ** Considering his fate of falling into a dimensional vortex in the climax of Season 1, his reappearance as one of the Spectral Space Pirates in the second season comes as a huge reveal. |

| 387 | [[caption-width-right:250: From left to right: Seth, Spectre, Shear, Gabbro, Foolscap]] |
| 388 | |
| 389 | The antagonists of the second season. A quartet of winged humanoid aliens that were freed from the time-space vortex where they were trapped (as a result of the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs) after the end of the first season, kidnapping the parents of Max, Zoe and Rex to force them to help in their goals. They are searching seven mysterious stones known as "Cosmos Stones", that will grant them domination over space and time. They possess many dinosaurs in their arsenal, which they use to fight against the D-Team and the Alpha Gang through the second anime. |
| 390 | ----- |
| 391 | |
| 392 | [[folder: In General]] |
| 393 | * AliensAreBastards: A group of humanoid extraterrestrials that want to conquer space and time with the power of the Cosmos Stones. |
| 394 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Among other characteristics, to show they aren't humans, they have non-human skin color. Spectre is green, Gabbro red and Foolscap blue, while Shear's skin is unnaturally white. |
| 395 | * AndIMustScream: At the end of the second season, they all survive the collision between the Dark Pterosaur and the combination of the Backlander fused with the Pterosaur's power, but end confined to a pod of their ship, forever condemned to spend the eternity drifting through the space, and, worse of all, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking listening to Spectre's singing]]. |
| 396 | * ChromaticArrangement: Gabbro, Foolscap and Shear. Each one is associated with one of the primary colors; Gabbro with red (red skin, hair and wings), Foolscap with blue (blue hair and wings) and Shear with yellow (yellow bow and wings). This is not random, as each represents one of the colors of the Rock-Paper-Scissors signs that the ''Dinosaur King'' arcade uses (Gabbro-Rock-Red, Foolscap-Paper-Blue, Shear-Scissors-Yellow). Additionally, each one of their signature dinosaurs belongs to the sign they symbolize (Gigas-Rock, Armatus-Paper, Maximus-Yellow). |
| 397 | * FlatCharacter: Contrary to the rest of the main dinosaurs (including [[TheStoic Brontikens]]), [[TerrifyingTyrannosaur Gigas]], [[ToughArmoredDinosaur Armatus]] and [[TemperCeratops Maximus]] barely display any personality and are basically used as glorified weapons by their owners. |
| 398 | * TheHeavy: While Spectre is the BigBad and leader of the group, he spends most time in the ship, with his three subordinates being the ones who go after the Cosmos Stones. |
| 399 | * InstantArmor: Brontikens, Gigas, Maximus, and Armatus are all activated with built-in spectral armor. In fact, all their appearances in the anime only show them in their spectral armor. |
| 400 | * MysteriousPast: Nothing about the past of the crew is elaborated beyond the fact that before being freed in the modern day, they were trapped in a time-spatial vortex as a result of the K/T mass extinction. |
| 401 | * OddlySmallOrganization: Even worse than the Alpha Gang, as, not counting Seth, the entire group is composed of only 4 members, plus the Gel Jarks they employ as mooks. |
| 402 | * PointyEars: They all have long, elf-like ears, to convey the feeling that they aren't humans. |
| 403 | * SignatureMon: |
| 404 | ** Gigas, Armatus and Maximus serve as the main dinosaurs for Gabbro, Foolscap and Shear (respectively) in both the arcade and the anime, as they're the strongest dinosaurs in their possession, as well as the ones they use the most. |
| 405 | ** Brontikens is this for Spectre, being his only dinosaur in the anime, being practically inseparable and always seen together. |
| 406 | * SpacePirates: They're a group of alien pirates with their own spaceship. They are even after a "treasure", the Cosmos Stones in this case. |
| 407 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: Despite being on the same team, Gabbro, Foolscap and Shear don't get along well and often bicker and even trample each other to get the credit of retrieving the Cosmos Stone. |
| 408 | * TerribleTrio: Downplayed. While, outside BigBad Spectre, the Spectral Space Pirates have three prominent members and their constitution fits the spirit of the trope, they for the most part act independently of each other and usually only group together at the end of each arc. |
| 409 | * VilerNewVillain: Unlike the Alpha Gang, the Spectral Pirates are less sympathetic, less comedic, and lack many of the redeeming qualities of the Alpha Gang by being generally more malevolent than them. |
| 410 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Since the Spectral Space Pirates were unable to retrieve Gigas, Maximus, Armatus, and Brontikens when they turned into cards after being defeated, it is unknown if their cards were retrieved or if they were just left to float in the essence of the Dark Pterosaur. |
| 411 | * WingedHumanoid: They all possess a pair of bat-like wings that allows them to cover longer distances and monitor their dinosaurs more easily. It's not made clear if they are natural or artificial. |

| 416 | [[quoteright:135:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spectre.PNG]] |
| 417 | |
| 418 | The main antagonist of the second series. A ruthless space pirate who ambitions the conquest of the Cosmos Stones to become the ruler of everything. Despite his intimidating design, he's a sensible soul and likes to sing (though he's not very good at it). |
| 419 | ---- |
| 420 | * AmbiguouslyGay: He seems to have a crush on Seth, but also has a grandson in the arcade game, implying he may have married a woman in the past. |
| 421 | * BeardOfEvil: Like Dr. Z, he sports a spiky white beard, though his is much more impressive and intimidating, showing him as a bigger threat than the doctor ever was. |
| 422 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He wants to get his hands on the Cosmo Stones to achieve power over the universe, but compared to his underlings he is a lot more silly. |
| 423 | * BigBad: The main antagonist of the second season. His actions of both kidnapping the parents of Max, Rex and Zoe and his search of the Cosmos Stones for nefarious purposes is what drives the plot of the second series. And, unlike Dr. Z, despite being betrayed by Seth, he remains the main villain till the end. |
| 424 | * BlackEyesOfCrazy: Unlike the other members of his race, his sclera is completely black. Combined with his general appearance, it makes him look intimidating. |
| 425 | * HollywoodToneDeaf: His singing is hilariously bad. |
| 426 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: He spends most of the second season inside the Spectral ship while his three henchmen do the dirty job of retrieving the Cosmos Stones. It isn't until the last arc of the season where he personally appears to confront the D-Team and the Alpha Gang to obtain the last Stone. |
| 427 | * SissyVillain: Despite his intimidating appearance, Spectre is actually very feminine and sensitive, showing girly characteristics and behavior. In the arcade game, he's even shown BitingTheHandkerchief when you defeat him. |

| 430 | [[folder:Gabbro (Gunenco)]] |
| 431 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/YasuhiroMamiya (Japanese), Creator/DavidWills (English) |
| 432 | [[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabbro_8.PNG]] |
| 433 | |
| 434 | The first of the Space Pirates to appear. A red, hulking brute employing more brawn than brain. |
| 435 | ---- |
| 436 | * TheBrute: The hulking musclehead of the trio, to the point where he's strong enough to deal with dinosaurs by himself to an extent. He's even associated with the Rock sign in the Rock-Paper-Scissors dynamic he has with Foolscap and Shear. |
| 437 | * DumbMuscle: He's all muscle and no brain, so he tends to rely on brute strength rather than strategies. This makes him the only one of the Spectral Space Pirates that never retrieves one of the Cosmos Stones. |
| 438 | * MadeOfIron: In the AncientPersia 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. |
| 439 | * PowerFist: His main weapon is a pair of gauntlets that give him SuperStrength. |
| 440 | * RedIsViolent: As a result of his dim-witted persona, Gabbro tends to be short-tempered and impatient, often resorting to violence. He is fittingly depicted as a red-skinned alien, as well as associated with the color red in general. |
| 441 | * StarterVillain: His Torvosaurus is the first antagonistic dinosaur to be dealt with at the start of the second season. |
| 442 | * SuperStrength: His gauntlets give him a considerable amount of strength, to the point he can crush small buildings with a single punch. |
| 443 | * WakeUpCallBoss: His Torvosaurus (equipped with an Spectral Armor) proves to be tougher than dinosaurs fought previously. This forces the main characters to upgrade their dinosaurs with Elemental Armors and new move cards later in the series. |

| 448 | [[quoteright:144:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/foolscap.PNG]] |
| 449 | |
| 450 | The second of the Space Pirates to appear. A lanky blue alien with a high concept of himself. |
| 451 | ---- |
| 452 | * ButtMonkey: Often the victim to physical abuse among the trio, sometimes by his own teammates no less. |
| 453 | * LeanAndMean: He's as lanky and lithe as he's evil. This comes at the risk of him being very fragile, as a minor wound is enough to make him go search for some bandages. |
| 454 | * SinisterSchnoz: He possesses a long, pointy nose that shows he's up to no good. |
| 455 | * SmugSnake: Often talks big and disrespect his enemies, only to end humiliated instead. In his defense, at least he managed to obtain one of the Cosmos Stones, unlike Gabbro. |
| 456 | * ThinChinOfSin: He is an evil lackey with a very pointy chin. |
| 457 | [[/folder]] |
| 458 | |
| 459 | [[folder:Shear (Mihasa)]] |
| 460 | -> '''Voiced by''': Creator/AsukaTanii (Japanese, episodes 53-62), Saori Yumiba (Japanese, episodes 63-79), Creator/EricaSchroeder (English), Julia Martinez (European Spanish) |
| 461 | [[quoteright:106:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shear.PNG]] |
| 462 | |
| 463 | The third and last of the Space Pirates to appear, also the only female of the group. Very beautiful, but with a wicked heart. She's the most competent of the trio. |
| 464 | ---- |
| 465 | * AcrophobicBird: Despite having wings and flying rather high above the ground, Shear is apparently afraid of heights. This could be interpreted as Shear simply being afraid of falling from great heights though. |
| 466 | * BattleBoomerang: Her main weapon is a sharp-edged crescent boomerang she uses both for offense and retrieve objects. |
| 467 | * DarkActionGirl: Unlike other villains from the anime, she actually gets involved in a fight against Foolscap in the 64th episode after believing to be a kunoichi following the loss of her memories. |
| 468 | * EasyAmnesia: In the Ancient Japan arc, she loses her memories after being slammed into 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 Stone. |
| 469 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Even she is horrified at the level of destruction her Mapusaurus causes in China with the Heat Eruption move, albeit mostly for pragmatic reasons and self-preservation. |
| 470 | * EvilIsPetty: In the Ancient China arc, she summons her Mapusaurus at a group of woodcutters just because they disturbed her sleep (they didn't even know she was sleeping on a tree). |
| 471 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: She's a very pretty woman, but is also cruel and ruthless. |
| 472 | * {{Irony}}: Shear's actions through the Ancient Persia arc involve kidnapping and threatening Zahrah so she reveals the whereabouts of the Red Cosmos Stone. She could have obtained it if she would have recalled Genie once she makes him her dinosaur, but instead uses the titanosaur to attack the D-Team and the Alpha Gang, and by the time the Red Cosmos Stone is revealed, she cannot retrieve it in time (as she was tied) and Helga ends up obtaining it, thus leading to the first time the Spectral Space Pirates end an arc without getting the Cosmos Stone. |
| 473 | * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: She's the only girl of the Space Spectral Pirates and the most competent of the trio, taking a total of 3 out of the 7 Cosmos Stones. |
| 474 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female member among the Spectral Pirates. |
| 475 | * VillainDecay: Starts as the more effective of the Spectral Space Pirates, retrieving 3 of the Cosmos Stones (the first two all by herself). However, starting with the Ancient Persia arc, she becomes as incompetent as Gabbro and Foolscap and fails to capture any of the remaining Cosmos Stones. |

| 478 | [[folder:Brontikens (Bronto)]] |
| 479 | [[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brontinkens_chibi.PNG]] [[caption-width-right:330:[[labelnote:Battle form]][[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brontinkens_battle_form.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 480 | |
| 481 | Spectre's pet Apatosaurus[[note]]Or Brontosaurus if his name is of any indication.[[/note]], that is always seen sleeping on his lap and that he dotes on a lot. An unemotional dinosaur, he turns out to be more than what meets to the eye. |
| 482 | ---- |
| 483 | * TheAce: Implied to be the strongest dinosaur of the Spectral Space Pirates, as he utterly dominates the main dinosaurs in most battles he had with them and to defeat him Chomp, Ace and Paris had to combine their Ultimate moves. |
| 484 | * AmbiguousSituation: |
| 485 | ** 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'' franchise uses both names interchangeably in different media, with Apatosaurus seemingly being the correct species. |
| 486 | ** How he came to be under Spectre's ownership is never revealed, as the Spectral Space Pirates got most of their dinosaur cards thanks to Seth's aid. If Seth was the one who gave Spectre Brontikens or if the sauropod was with the Spectral Space Pirates before is never made clear. |
| 487 | * EvilIsBigger: As a medium-sized (but still huge) sauropod, Brontikens is by far the biggest of the main dinosaurs and easily towers over them all. |
| 488 | * FluffyTheTerrible: "Brontikens" is not a very intimidating name for the dinosaur of the main antagonist. |
| 489 | * MakingASplash: Weirdly enough, the arcade game considers his Spectral Armor version (as well as his Spectral Destroy) a water attribute dinosaur (and attack), in line with sauropods usually belonging to the water element. The Spectral Armor version of Brontikens along with his Spectral Destroy in the anime is a secret dinosaur/move just like the regular Apatosaurus in the arcade. |
| 490 | * NonIndicativeName: His name in both the Japanese and English version of the anime comes from the fact that when ''Dinosaur King'' was active, Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus were considered different species of the same genus (with Brontosaurus, one of the most iconic dinosaurs ever, becoming an Apatosaurus species). However, [[ScienceMarchesOn a studio in 2015 revealed that Brontosaurus was different enough from Apatosaurus to be its own genus again]], thus Brontosaurus "returned". With this, if Brontikens was supposed to be ''Apatosaurus ajax'' instead of ''Brontosaurus excelsus'', it would make his name non-sensical. |
| 491 | * RightHandCat: He's often cradled in Spectre's lap sitting around while being baby talked by his master. That is, until the final arc of the series, where Spectre summons a full sized Brontikens for battle, complete with armor all over his body with a giant laser built in. |
| 492 | * TheStoic: Compared to the other chibi dinosaurs, Brontikens barely shows any emotion and is mostly seen either sleeping or looking at things with an uninterested gaze. |
| 493 | * WalkingSpoiler: Since he's often treated as a pet rather than a fighting dinosaur, his battle form in the last arc of the anime comes as a big surprise. |
| 494 | * WaveMotionGun: His SignatureMove, the Spectral Destroy, involves the arc around his armor to reunite energy in Brontikens's back and then shoot a powerful purple beam that is potent enough to make a dormant volcano erupt. |

| 499 | |
| 500 | A modified Tyrannosaurus created by Seth and given to Gabbro during the Ancient France arc, becoming his main (and last) dinosaur in the series. |
| 501 | ---- |
| 502 | * AtArmsLength: When Spiny and Tank use their Ultimate moves to attack him from both sides, he stops both of them at the same time by using most of his body weight to block Spiny and using his leg to push Tank away. |
| 503 | * 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 and Terry [[DoubleKnockout defeat each other in a fierce last clash]]. |
| 504 | * PlayingWithFire: As a tyrannosaur, his attribute is Fire. Interestingly enough, unlike Armatus and Maximus, he does use a move from his element apart of his personal Spectral move (Magma Blaster). |
| 505 | * TerrifyingTyrannosaur: As a modified Tyrannosaurus that Seth created for Gabbro, he shows the perception of the T. rex as a mean yet powerful apex predator. |
| 506 | * WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: Compared to the [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver Black T. rex]], Gigas is white with some reddish/orangish spots all over his body. He's as antagonistic as the Black T. rex was, albeit not as uncontrollable. |

| 513 | ---- |
| 514 | * DarkIsEvil: A black Stegosaurus with white spots through his body used by the Spectral Space Pirates and their nefarious goals. |
| 515 | * DishingOutDirt: As a thyreophoran, he belongs to the Earth attribute. However, in the anime, he only uses his Spectral move in fights, not employing any Earth-based move card. |
| 516 | * SpikeShooter: His built-in move card Spectral Stinger allows him to shoot glowing spikes from all over his spectral armor to hit his opponent with great accuracy. |
| 517 | * ToughArmoredDinosaur: An evil, fierce Stegosaurus. In fact, along with Brontikens, he's the only main dinosaur of the Spectral Space Pirates who is only defeated once. |

| 524 | ---- |
| 525 | * DarkIsEvil: A black Triceratops with golden patterns through his body used by the Spectral Space Pirates and their nefarious goals. |
| 526 | * 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 Cosmos Stone she swallowed. |
| 527 | * OneHitKill: His built-in move card Spectral Punisher allows him to shoot a laser that instantly defeats whoever it touches. |
| 528 | * ShockAndAwe: As a ceratopsian, he belongs to the Lightning attribute. However, in the anime, he only uses his Spectral move in fights, not employing any Lightning based move card. |

| 544 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dr_owen.png]] |
| 545 | |
| 546 | A reknown paleontologist and Rex's adoptive father. Almost as eccentric and excitable about dinosaurs as Dr. Taylor, of which he's great friends with. Through the series, he develops a crush on Ursula after meeting her in New York when the Alpha Gang kidnapped him to make him reveal the key of an special amber they wanted to use as a power source for their headquarters. |
| 547 | ---- |
| 548 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: To Ursula. He's madly in love with her, but she doesn't wants anything to do with him and always reacts horrified to his proposals. |
| 549 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Almost as bad as Dr. Taylor in that regard, to Rex's chagrin. |
| 550 | * CanonForeigner: Only appears in the anime, with no known arcade or DS game counterpart. |
| 551 | * GiveHimANormalLife: Downplayed, as he still gets into contact with Rex and they see each other from time to time, but he pretty much made him stay with the Taylors because he wanted him to experience a normal family life, as his job as a paleontologist keeps him too busy from spending time with the boy. |
| 552 | * NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: His name almost likely comes from the biologist Sir Richard Owen, who was the one who coined the word "dinosaur" to the great land-dwelling reptiles of the Mesozoic. |

| 558 | |
| 559 | The father of Zoe and Reese, a veterinarian that works alongside his wife and is a friend of the Taylors. He loves animals, but they tend to fear him due to the giant syringe he always carries. |
| 560 | ---- |
| 561 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The Sengoku Period arc of the second season has him replacing Ieyasu Tokugawa when he goes missing after Shear attacks the real one, having a considerable role compared to his other appearances in the series. |
| 562 | * CanonForeigner: Only appears in the anime, with no known arcade or DS game counterpart. |
| 563 | * IdenticalStranger: For some reason, he looks a lot like Ieyasu Tokugawa (the only major difference between them is that Tokugawa has facial hair) to the point of having a similar sounding voice. This makes his subordinates to mix him with the real one and make him take his role until the end of the Sengoku Period arc. |
| 564 | * UglyGuyHotWife: He's overweight and plain looking, while his wife looks more youthful and beautiful. |

| 570 | ---- |
| 571 | |
| 572 | [[folder: Fire Dinosaurs]] |
| 573 | |
| 574 | !!General |
| 575 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fire_attribute.png]] |
| 576 | Attribute of fire. Dinosaurs of this attribute are activated when their card comes into contact with any source of fire. It includes all the tyrannosaurs and carcharodontosaurids independently of their size, as well as any large theropod from any other group. They are strong against Wind attribute dinosaurs, but weak against Water attribute dinosaurs. |
| 577 | ---- |
| 578 | * BreathWeapon: Most of the Fire move card abilities involve the theropods shooting fire from their mouths. |
| 579 | * ColorCodedElements: The icon of the attribute is portrayed as red. The dinosaurs belonging to it are also associated with the color red, as well with orange. |
| 580 | * DinosaursAreDragons: Perhaps playing with the Japanese name for dinosaurs (''"kyoryuu"'', that roughly translates as "fearsome dragon"), dinosaurs of the fire attribute are the ones who come the closest to the image of a Western dragon (sans the wings), with the members of the attribute being big, predatory dinosaurs with the ability to breathe and generate fire. |
| 581 | * PlayingWithFire: Dinosaurs of this attribute are able to summon and manipulate fire, ranging from shooting flames out of their mouth, generate fire around their opponents, shape their flames into a giant sword of fire, to provoke volcanic eruptions. |
| 582 | * 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 most of the time. |
| 583 | * TerrifyingTyrannosaur: The Tyrannosaurus rex and all of its cousins (Daspletosaurus, Tarbosaurus, Albertosaurus...) are all included in this attribute. Except for the Daspletosaurus, the three T. rexes that appear in the anime (Terry, the Black T. rex and Gigas) are villainous, ferocious and powerful. |
| 584 | |
| 585 | !!Carcharodontosaurus |
| 586 | [[quoteright:294:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/carcharodontosaurus.png]] |
| 587 | A wild dinosaur that appears in the Great Wall of China. An aggresive, destructive dinosaur with the super move card Fire Cannon in its possession, which it uses to destroy multiple chunks of the Great Wall. |
| 588 | |
| 589 | A second Carcharodontosaurus appears in Season 2 under Gabbro's command in the Ancient China arc. |
| 590 | ---- |
| 591 | * {{Fireballs}}: Thanks to his super move card Fire Cannon, the Carcharodontosaurus can shoot destructive fireballs from his mouth. |
| 592 | * GreenAndMean: The body of the Carcharodontosaurus is covered in scales of a beautiful green color, but the theropod itself is nasty and aggresive. |
| 593 | * {{Pyromaniac}}: It has a predilection to burn things, as the first things it does after being activated is to shoot several fireballs out of its mouth and roar triumphantly at the destruction it caused. |
| 594 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Its red eyes serve to show how dangerous and destructive it is. |
| 595 | * UngratefulBastard: Even after Ace helps him defeat Terry, the Carcharodontosaurus still decides to fight him. |
| 596 | * TheUnpronounceable: Ursula, Zander, and Ed have a really hard time saying Carcharadontosaurus' name. |
| 597 | |
| 598 | !!Acrocanthosaurus |
| 599 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/acrocanthosaurus.png]][[caption-width-right:320:[[labelnote:Alpha Acrocanthosaurus]][[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/acrocanthosaurus_alpha.png]][[/labelnote]]]] |
| 600 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Devon Island, Canada. Motivated by reuniting with its mate and chick (who were fossilized into the dormant volcano of the island), it confronted the D-Team. After being defeated by Terry and having its card taken by the Alpha Gang, Dr. Z turned him into the Alpha Acrocanthosaurus, a stronger but more destructive dinosaur with the ability to shoot fire without a move card. |
| 601 | ---- |
| 602 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: A more extreme case than Tank and other dinosaurs mind controlled by the Alpha Gang. As his conversion to an Alpha dinosaur was so drastic, it became more aggressive and destructive than previously. |
| 603 | * BreathWeapon: Thanks to the modifications performed on him, the Alpha Acrocanthosaurus can shoot a blast of fire out of his mouth without using a super move card. |
| 604 | * EvilIsBurningHot: The Alpha Acrocanthosaurus possesses the ability to generate fire out of his mouth without a move card, causing a lot of destruction around him and actually seeming to enjoy it. |
| 605 | * InASingleBound: Despite his hefty size, Acrocanthosaurus leaps very high into the air and lands with enough force to knock away Chomp. |
| 606 | * KillItWithWater: Ace ends up using his move card Cyclone to encase himself and Alpha Acrocanthosaurus in a funnel of water. Naturally, a fiery beast getting completely submerged in water for a few good seconds severely weakens it, causing it to revert back into a card. |
| 607 | * PlayingWithFire: The Alpha Acrocanthosaurus is special in the fact that, due to being altered by Dr. Z to be more powerful, he can produce fire by himself with no need of a super move card. |
| 608 | * PsychoPink: When turned into an Alpha dinosaur, the Acrocanthosaurus trades his original orange color for a black body and a spine and a tail of a bright, dark pink coloration (like the color of the symbol of the Alpha Gang). It is also a very unstable, destructive theropod. |
| 609 | * {{Pyromaniac}}: After being turned into an Alpha dinosaur, he seems to develop a liking to set things on fire. |
| 610 | * ShoutOut: Alpha Acrocanthosaurus's raised spine glows whenever it shoots it fire, just like another [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} super-powered giant reptile]]. |
| 611 | * ShesAManInJapan: Acrocanthosaurus was a female dinosaur in the Japanese version, but was changed to a male in the English dub. |
| 612 | * 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 ascends to the screen and properly reveals itself), though it appears in its battle form rather than as a chibi dinosaur. |
| 613 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Dr. Z greatly increases his power when he turns him into an Alpha dinosaur, but that comes at the cost of making the theropod more aggressive and destructive. |
| 614 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Ace defeats him, the fate of the Acrocanthosaurus is never revealed, as it never makes another appearance after that. It is unknown if he remained an Alpha dinosaur or the D-Team was able to revert those changes. |
| 615 | |
| 616 | !!Daspletosaurus |
| 617 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daspletosaurus.png]] |
| 618 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Bali, Indonesia. Unlike other fire dinosaurs, the Daspletosaurus is not very aggressive and loves to dance, only attacking others when someone disturbs him. |
| 619 | ---- |
| 620 | * BackForTheFinale: He can be seen in the final episode doing a little dance to himself. |
| 621 | * HappyDance: When not threatened by anything, Daspletosaurus dances by raising his tiny arms up and moving from side to side while swaying his head. |
| 622 | * PredatorsAreMean: Subverted. While most fire dinosaurs are aggresive and hungry, the Daspletosaurus is shown instead as a playful animal that only wants to be left alone with its dance. In fact, when Ace, Chomp and Paris join it during its dance, the tyrannosaur happily lets them join it instead of attacking them [[note]]Take in mind Chomp resembles the ceratopsians the real life Daspletosaurus preyed upon and Parasaurolophus lived alongside it and would have been a likely pretty item.[[/note]]. |
| 623 | * TerrifyingTyrannosaur: Subverted. He's 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, being an oddity among the usually fierce Fire dinosaurs. |
| 624 | |
| 625 | !!Saurophaganax |
| 626 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saurophaganax.png]] |
| 627 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Oklahoma, USA, equipped with the super move card Magma Blaster. A theropod with a personality similar to that of a cowboy from a western film, he initially chased a herd of cows before being intercepted by Spiny and later Chomp. Chomp proceeded to fight him for a while, but the intervention of Rod and Laura ended with Terry defeating the Saurophaganax and they taking his cards. He reappears in the last arc of season 1, where Seth experiments on him to make him able to use to super move card Fire Scorcher, also using the allosaurid as his personal dinosaur before switching to the Black T. rex. |
| 628 | ---- |
| 629 | * AnimalsNotToScale: Saurophaganax appears to be just as big as Terry, even though the real dinosaur was slightly smaller than Tyrannosaurus and not as heavily built. |
| 630 | * MeteorSummoningAttack: Saurophaganax has been altered by Seth to use the move card Fire Scorcher. It is an extremely powerful move card that allows Saurophaganax to shoot a massive burning meteor at his opponents, severely burning them on impact. |
| 631 | * OneHitKill: Fire Scorcher instantly defeats whoever it is used against. Even when Chomp, Ace, and Paris were summoned with full energy ready to fight Saurophaganax, they were quickly defeated from the devastating effects of the move card. |
| 632 | * OneManArmy: Fire Scorcher makes him capable of beating multiple dinosaurs at once. He is the only dinosaur who defeats all the six main dinosaurs (alongside Ampelosaurus) thanks to Fire Scorcher. |
| 633 | * PlayingWithFire: His original move card was Magma Blaster, which makes him shoot a thick stream of lava at his opponents. |
| 634 | * PreFinalBoss: It is the second to last dinosaur to be fought in the final arc of Season 1 before the Black T-Rex is brought to life. |
| 635 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: His scales are orange on the upper side of his body and black on the lower side. While he's not evil in his debut, by the end of season 1 Seth employs him for his evil goals. |
| 636 | * RecurringBoss: Saurophaganax is faced off against in 3 out of the 4 episodes in Season One’s final arc. |
| 637 | * RightHandAttackDog: Seth starts using him as his personal attack dinosaur in the final arc of Season 1. |
| 638 | * ShowdownAtHighNoon: He and Chomp actually have a duel arranged like this in the middle of a small Western-like town. They even manage to draw their attacks at each other, with Chomp using Lightning Strike and Saurophaganax using Magma Blaster. |
| 639 | |
| 640 | !!Mapusaurus |
| 641 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mapusaurus.png]] |
| 642 | A wild dinosaur that appears in what looked like the Yokohama Chinatown in south Tokyo, Japan, also owning the super fire move Fire Cannon. Being driven by his hunger, he causes havoc through the place. Max decides to deal personally with him after the theropod messes up his favorite restaurant of the place. |
| 643 | |
| 644 | A second Mapusaurus appears in season two under Shear's command in the Ancient China arc. |
| 645 | ---- |
| 646 | * ApatheticPet: Downplayed with the season two Mapusaurus. While it follows Shear's orders, it mostly doesn't cares about what its owner wants, as it throws Sanzo Hoshi towards the nearby volcano when it begins fighting Chomp and its reaction to the destruction it caused with Heat Eruption is complete indifference. |
| 647 | * ConvectionSchmonvection: All the lava summoned by the second Mapusaurus's Heat Eruption doesn't manages to kill any character despite the fact the theropod makes a literal sea of lava to come out of the volcano. |
| 648 | * {{Fireballs}}: Just like his fellow carcharodontosaur Carcharodontosaurus before him, he's able to use Fire Cannon to launch fireballs from its mouth. |
| 649 | * MagmaMan: Thanks to Heat Eruption, the Mapusaurus used by Shear can make nearby volcanos erupt. Unfortunately, the dinosaur cannot control the lava that comes out of the volcano, so the carcharodontosaur almost ends up causing a local disaster. |
| 650 | * RightHandAttackDog: Shear's Mapusaurus acts like one in episode 60, as she basically uses it to threaten and attack people who displeases her. |
| 651 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: The Mapusaurus from season 2 can use the Heat Eruption super move card, which involves a nearby volcano to erupt a rain of meteors from it. However, it also causes a lot of lava to come violently out of the volcano, something that almost destroys the village that was next to it. |
| 652 | |
| 653 | !!Black Tyrannosaurus (Black Tyranno) |
| 654 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/black_t_rex.PNG]] |
| 655 | A modified Tyrannosaurus created by Seth using a perfect T. rex fossil. A huge, towering monster with unmatched power, the Black T. rex becomes the final enemy dinosaur of Season 1. |
| 656 | ---- |
| 657 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the arcade game, it was only slightly bigger than the average T-Rex. Here it towers over Terry and every other dinosaur. |
| 658 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: The last dinosaur to be fought at the end of the first season, as well as the strongest one. Things seems to be over when it is finally defeated, but the appearance of the Spectral Space Pirates at the beginning of the next series shows that the plot was far from ending. |
| 659 | * EvilIsBigger: It is the largest dinosaur in the anime. Next to him, Terry looks like a chick. |
| 660 | * KilledOffForReal: After being defeated, it doesn't leaves any card at all and just vanishes into energy, implying it was destroyed forever. |
| 661 | * NoSell: Move cards like Chomp's Lightning Spear, Terry's Volcano Burst, and Daspletosaurus's Fire Bomb have absolutely no effect on the beast. |
| 662 | * PrehistoricMonster: It was created from a T-Rex skeleton and was made to be a giant, ferocious, durable beast. |
| 663 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: More like black, orange and evil all over. Nonetheless, its fiery patterns and black skin make it look really imposing. |
| 664 | * TerrifyingTyrannosaur: 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. |
| 665 | * SuperToughness: [[{{Understatement}} It is not very easy to take down.]] When Chomp and Terry used Lightning Spear and Volcano Burst respectively against the Black T-Rex, the creature was barely fazed from the attacks. It takes two fusion moves from 14 dinosaurs to bring it down. |
| 666 | |
| 667 | !!Torvosaurus |
| 668 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/torvosaurus.png]] |
| 669 | A huge Jurassic predator that Gabbro brings with him when he kidnaps the parents of the D-Team members, holding the Magma Blaster super move card. A ferocious and powerful dinosaur, his Spectral Armor represents the first challenge for our heroes in the second season. |
| 670 | ---- |
| 671 | * BreathWeapon: Its Magma Blaster attack makes the Torvosaurus shoot a powerful torrent made of fire and lava out of its mouth. |
| 672 | * LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Thanks to its Spectral Armor, it manages to take a direct hit of Chomp's Thunder Bazooka. |
| 673 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: While not evil, it is still a ferocious black beast with reddish orange lines through its body that is mind controlled to do Gabbro’s dirty work. |
| 674 | * RightHandAttackDog: Gabbro pretty much uses it as its personal attack animal, either to threaten people (like he did with the Ancients) or to get rid of annoyances (like the Roman soldiers of episode 51) |
| 675 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Even though it is a mere StarterVillain, Dr. Z designs the Elemental Boosters based in a fragment of Spectral Armor the Torvosaurus left after its defeat, that gives the main dinosaurs of the D-Team and the Alpha Gang the [=DinoTectors=] that allow them to win many other battles through the season. |
| 676 | * StarterVillain: For the second season. It is the first dinosaur to be fought at the beginning of the season, and dealing with him requires more effort than the one used for the wild dinosaurs of the first season. |
| 677 | * WakeUpCallBoss: It is the first dinosaur with spectral armor the D-Team fights. This requires Ace and Chomp to use a fusion move to defeat the theropod. |
| 678 | |
| 679 | !!Yangchuanosaurus |
| 680 | [[quoteright:173:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yangchuanosaurus.png]] |
| 681 | One of Shear's dinosaurs in the Ancient Rome arc, equipped with the Venom fang move card and the Burning Dash super move card. A strong but obedient dinosaur, the Yangchuanosaurus proves to be a difficult opponent for the D-Team, who needs to use the [=DinoTector=] armor on Chomp to defeat it. |
| 682 | ---- |
| 683 | * ALizardNamedLiz: Shear nicknames it "Yang". |
| 684 | * DarkIsEvil: Its body is mainly black and is a powerful theropod serving the Spectral Space Pirates. |
| 685 | * DualBoss: During its second fight against the D-Team's dinosaurs, Shear activates the Venom Fang card, who activates a Piatnitzkysaurus to fight Chomp while Yang deals with Paris and Ace. |
| 686 | * PlayingWithFire: Its super move card Burning Dash allows Yang to bite an opponent, lift them and then ram them towards a rock, that makes a burst of fire to appear after the deal is done. Yang manages to defeat both Ace and Paris with this super move. |
| 687 | * WakeUpCallBoss: It is the first dinosaur that had to be defeated with elemental boosters. Thanks to Chomp’s Dinotector armor activated from the elemental boosters, he was able to defeat Yangchuanosaurus. |
| 688 | |
| 689 | !!Rajasaurus |
| 690 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rajasaurus.png]] |
| 691 | One of the dinosaurs Shear uses in the Ancient France arc, equipped with the Blazing Spin Attack super move card. Shear uses it to impress the Royal Mother and Chancellor Richelieu and make them use her services to retrieve the Blue Eye of Gaia, and later to destroy an orphanage where the Green Cosmos Stones (the true identity of the Blue Eye of Gaia) was suspected to be. |
| 692 | ---- |
| 693 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Its arms are too long and developed for an abelisaur (and also pronated), and it possesses three fingers instead of the four it should have. |
| 694 | * AnvilOnHead: After being sent flying into the orphanage by Chomp's Lightning Strike, Rajasaurus gets back up to finish Chomp off only to have the orphanage’s tower fall on his head, defeating him. |
| 695 | * KarmicDeath: Or karmic defeat in this case. The Rajasaurus was used by Shear to destroy the orphanage where D'Artagnan and his friends lived. It is defeated when the tower of the orphanage (damaged by its battle against Chomp), falls on his head. |
| 696 | * SpinAttack: More like Blazing Spin Attack. Rajasaurus uses this Fire move card to bite Chomp with a flaming mouth and spin him around. |

| 699 | [[folder: Water Dinosaurs]] |
| 700 | |
| 701 | !! General |
| 702 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/water_attribute.png]] |
| 703 | Attribute of water. Dinosaurs of this attribute are activated when their card come into contact with any source of water, be large or small. It's the attribute that includes the most diverse dinosaurs, as it includes small and medium sized sauropods and spinosaurids. They are strong against Fire attribute dinosaurs, but weak against Lightning attribute dinosaurs. |
| 704 | ---- |
| 705 | * AquaticSauropods: Perhaps referencing the pre-Dinosaur Renaissance trope of sauropods being slow beasts that could only move properly in water, sauropods in ''Dinosaur King'' are water attribute dinosaurs. |
| 706 | * ColorCodedElements: The icon of the attribute is portrayed as blue. The dinosaurs belonging to it are also associated with the color blue. |
| 707 | * MakingASplash: Dinosaurs of this attribute are able to create and manipulate water as they please, using hydrokinesis to shape their attacks or trap the enemy dinosaur in bodies of water. |
| 708 | * SavageSpinosaurs: Spinosaurids fall into this attribute, including the Spinosaurus and Baryonyx as well as the Suchomimus and Irritator. In the anime, Spiny is one of the dinosaurs used by the Alpha Gang, while Gabbro uses a Baryonyx in the second season during the Sengoku Period arc. |
| 709 | * SummonMagic: Certain water attribute move cards allows water dinosaurs to summon marine reptiles to assist them in fights, including a Futabasaurus (Futaba Super Cannon) and a school of Ophtalmosaurus (Ocean Panic). |
| 710 | |
| 711 | !!Saltasaurus |
| 712 | [[quoteright:298:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saltasaurus.png]] |
| 713 | A wild dinosaur that appears in the Amazon rainforest. It was chasing a lizard, mistaking it with a relative. Despite being normally peaceful, becomes a fierce fighter when provoked. |
| 714 | ---- |
| 715 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Mr. Taylor states that Saltasaurus was following the little lizard because its name translates to "Lizard from Salta", which means the Saltasaurus is a lizard too. Any real paleontologist would know dinosaurs and lizards are not related other than both being a type of reptile. |
| 716 | * DumbDinos: Going by Dr. Taylor's logic, he apparently assumed a little green lizard was his relative, despite multiple differences. |
| 717 | * GentleGiantSauropod: Averted; It is not particularly aggressive, but it isn't exactly a pushover either. |
| 718 | * TailSlap: It manages to defeat Spiny by hitting him with his long tail. |
| 719 | |
| 720 | !!Suchomimus |
| 721 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/suchomimus.png]] |
| 722 | A wild dinosaur that appears in a bay from Monaco. Driven by hunger, he started a feeding freezing, eating all the fish he found in the zone and making the local fishermen to mistake him for a sea monster. He's also shown to be a very underhanded dinosaur. |
| 723 | ---- |
| 724 | * LightningBruiser: Not only is it quick enough to run after a truck without exhausting itself, but it is strong enough to give Ace quite a beating. |
| 725 | * OneTrackMindedHunger: The Suchomimus is obsessed with eating as much fish as possible. |
| 726 | * SavageSpinosaurs: While he is not interested in attacking humans, Suchomimus is still a very reckless and intrusive dinosaur who steals fish from fishermen and crashes into an aquarium to eat the fish there. |
| 727 | * SeaMonster: For the monegasque fishermen, a huge, swimming reptilian creature that eats all the fish it finds is the closest thing to a real sea monster. |
| 728 | * UngratefulBastard: Although Ace saves Suchomimus from Spiny attacking him, Suchomimus starts attacking Ace anyways. |
| 729 | |
| 730 | !!Amargasaurus |
| 731 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amargasaurus.png]] |
| 732 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Loch Ness after the Alpha Gang accidentaly activates its card, initially being mistaken with Nessie with its long necked appearance. It is eventually shown as an irascible, aggresive dinosaur. |
| 733 | ---- |
| 734 | * AquaticSauropods: She makes her presence known by emerging out of the Loch Ness lake. |
| 735 | * GentleGiantSauropod: Averted. Once she gets riled up from all the action, she starts attacking everyone. |
| 736 | * NotTheNessie: When it appears, the Alpha Gang eventually thinks it is Nessie due to the sauropod fitting the description of Nessie as a long necked aquatic creature, and try to capture it to win the prize for capturing Nessie the news were announcing. However, a local boy named John quickly dismisses the Amargasaurus as the Loch Ness monster, and the real Nessie DOES appear at the very end of the episode. |
| 737 | |
| 738 | !!Baryonyx |
| 739 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/baryonyx.png]] |
| 740 | A wild dinosaur that appears in the Niagara Falls. Mainly motivated by hunger for fishes, it attacks the Alpha Gang's submarine and later a tourist ferry due to confusing them as big fishes. Despite being aggressive, it quickly flees when it's in a disadvantageous situation. |
| 741 | |
| 742 | A second Baryonyx appears in Season 2 under Gabbro's command in the Sengoku Period arc. |
| 743 | ---- |
| 744 | * CombatTentacles: 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. |
| 745 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Paris appears to aid Ace after it is about to finish him, the Baryonyx tries to escape into the water, seeing itself surpassed in number. However, Ace manages to draw him out of the water with Cyclone before Chomp finally finishes it with Lightning Spear. |
| 746 | |
| 747 | !!Ampelosaurus |
| 748 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ampelosaurus.png]] |
| 749 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Moscow, Russia. Like other wild dinosaurs before it, the Ampelosaurus only wants to sleep peacefully and mind its own business, but gets aggressive if it gets perturbed. The sauropod takes a liking to Paris's lullaby, who manages to calm him down and return to sleep. |
| 750 | ---- |
| 751 | * GentleGiantSauropod: Subverted; Even though Ampelosaurus isn't looking for trouble, he clearly knows how to defend himself. |
| 752 | * GuestStarPartyMember: He is used to fight alongside the Alpha Gang when confronting Saurophaganax and the Black T. rex. |
| 753 | * MakingASplash: Its move card Aqua Vortex submerges its opponent in a vortex made of water, which makes them spin uncontrollably before falling onto the ground. |
| 754 | * MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: To stop the Ampelosaurus from moving around too much on the train car, Paris sings it a lullaby to go to sleep. |
| 755 | |
| 756 | !!Shunosaurus |
| 757 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shunosaurus.png]] |
| 758 | One of the dinosaurs Foolscap uses in the Ancient Rome arc, equipped with the Aqua Vortex super move card. He uses it twice; once to attack the D-Team and later to retrieve the Yellow Cosmos Stone from Sophia, in which it is partnered with a Majungasaurus. |
| 759 | ---- |
| 760 | * DualBoss: During its second fight against the D-Team's dinosaurs, the Shunosaurus gets the help from a Majungasaurus. |
| 761 | * BewareMyStingerTail: The most remarkable trait of the species is a spiked tail club like those ankylosaurs would evolve millions of years later. However, Foolscap's Shunosaurus barely uses its spiked club during the fight (only briefly in the first he has against Chomp) and rather relies on its natural strength and super move card. |
| 762 | * GentleGiantSauropod: Averted. The Shunosaurus follows Foolscap's orders faithfully and is shown to be a ruthless, fierce sauropod. |
| 763 | * MakingASplash: It uses Aqua Vortex to trap Paris in a spinning vortex of water, but it doesn't do much to her as Paris defeats Shunosaurus with Emerald Garden. |
| 764 | |
| 765 | !!Jobaria |
| 766 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jobaria.png]] |
| 767 | The only dinosaur Foolscap brought with him for the Caribbean Sea arc, equipped with the Ocean Panic and Shockwave super move cards. Foolscap originally summons it to pull Blackbeard's ship out of a storm before it engages into a fight against Spiny in the middle of the sea. |
| 768 | ---- |
| 769 | * AquaticSauropods: It spends most of its screen time swimming in the ocean. |
| 770 | * BehemothBattle: At 18 meters long, it is a huge sauropod who then fights against Spiny (who is also quite big at 15 meters long) in the high sea. |
| 771 | * MundaneUtility: Foolscap initially brings it to help Blackbeard's ship to move through a storm. Turns out, a big, swimming super sauropod comes in handy when you want to break out through a nasty sea tempest. |
| 772 | * SummonMagic: His Ocean Panic super move card allows five Opthalmosauruses to appear and hit the enemy from multiple angles. To deal with this, Ursula summons Futaba so he can fight the ichthyosaurs while Spiny takes on the Jobaria. |
| 773 | |
| 774 | !!Genie |
| 775 | [[quoteright:331:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/genie_3.png]] |
| 776 | An Isisaurus [[note]]identified in the anime with the non-valid old name "''Titanosaurus colberti''"[[/note]] Zahrah finds in the cave of the 39 thieves in the Ancient Persia arc, that she nicknames "Genie" due to confusing him with one thanks to his capsule being in a golden lamp similar to the one of the popular story. Unlike other dinosaurs of the second season, he wasn't in possession of the Spectral Space Pirates and quickly takes a liking to Zahrah despite being a wild dinosaur, aiding her and later the D-Team during their travels in the desert. Unbeknownst to them, Genie carries the Red Cosmos Stone on his stomach, that he swallowed when he drank water in the lair of the thieves. He's the last Water dinosaur to appear in the anime. |
| 777 | ---- |
| 778 | * AmbiguousSituation: Genie's card is shown to be contained in an egg capsule, just like all the other dinosaur cards displaced all over the world in Season 1. However, it is not made clear how Genie's card ended up in Ancient Persia while all the other dinosaur cards contained in egg capsules remained in the modern era. |
| 779 | * BackForTheFinale: He is shown as his gentle self once again amongst a crowd of dinosaurs in the final episode. |
| 780 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Shear ends up placing a control emblem on his head that turns him very aggressive and equips him with an Spectral Armor. |
| 781 | * TheCorruptible: As a result of being a wild dinosaur with no master, this makes him susceptible to be mindcontrolled by the Spectral Space Pirates. Shear takes advantages of this in episode 70 and turns Genie into one of her dinosaurs in her last attempt to retrieve the Red Cosmos Stone. |
| 782 | * GentleGiantSauropod: He is the only sauropod to play this completely straight. That is, until he gets mind controlled by Shear. |
| 783 | * GuestStarPartyMember: He's the non-main dinosaur who spends the most time with the D-Team as an ally, being with them through the four episodes comprising the Ancient Persia arc. |
| 784 | * HorseOfADifferentColor: His huge size makes him a convenient ride for the D-Team and Zahrah in their journey through the desert, and Genie is docile enough to comply. |
| 785 | * MakingASplash: When mind controlled, Genie uses the Water move card Hydro Cutter to send giant blades made out of water at Spiny, Tank, and Terry, which end up defeating them all. |
| 786 | * MartialPacifist: Genie is a powerful dinosaur, but also a gentle, peaceful one. The times he attacks anyone is when someone tries to harm Zahrah, and most of the time he stays away from fights, leaving the dinosaurs from the D-Team to deal with enemies. His true power ends being revealed when Shear takes control of him in the climax of the Ancient Persia arc and uses him to fight all of the six main dinosaurs, managing to defeat all the dinosaurs from Alpha Gang and Paris and forcing Chomp and Ace to mix their strongest attacks to take him down. |
| 787 | * NonIndicativeName: In the arcade and the anime, Genie's species is identified as "''Titanosaurus colberti''", which is an outdated name (the true one being Isisaurus). Funnily enough, the Titanosaurus holotype is also a playable dinosaur in ''Dinosaur King'', but it never appears in the anime. |
| 788 | [[/folder]] |
| 789 | |
| 790 | [[folder: Lightning Dinosaurs]] |
| 791 | |
| 792 | !!General |
| 793 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lightning_attribute.png]] |
| 794 | Attribute of lightning. Dinosaurs of this attribute are activated when their card comes into contact with any source of electricity. It includes all the ceratopsians. They are strong against Water attribute dinosaurs, but weak against Earth attribute dinosaurs. |
| 795 | ---- |
| 796 | * ColorCodedElements: The icon of the attribute is portrayed as yellow. The dinosaurs belonging to it are also associated with the color yellow. |
| 797 | * HeadButtingPachy: Artwork on the website showed ''Pachycephalosaurus'' as being part of this group, implying that pachycephalosaurs as a whole belong to the Lightning element, making the group's full roster cover all of the marginocephalians. |
| 798 | * ShockAndAwe: Dinosaurs of this attribute are able to summon and manipulate electricity and lightnings, ranging from shooting lightnings out of their horns, shocking their enemies with electric attacks or creating electric constructs to hit their opponents with. |
| 799 | * TemperCeratops: The lightning attribute includes all members of the Ceratopsia family, but unlike most examples of this trope the level of aggression depends on the dinosaurs. Some like Chomp and the Styracosaurus are docile and friendly, while others like the Pentaceratops and the lightning dinosaurs used by the Spectral Space Pirates are aggressive and easy to attack others. |
| 800 | |
| 801 | !!Styracosaurus |
| 802 | [[quoteright:324:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/styracosaurus.png]] |
| 803 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Hawaii. In spite of his size, he's a peaceful, friendly dinosaur that quickly becomes Chomp's friend after realizing he's some kind of relative to him. Unfortunately, all is ruined with the appearance of the Alpha Gang... |
| 804 | ---- |
| 805 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: He was a really friendly dinosaur before the Alpha Gang got their hands on his card. When Max and Chomp meet him again, Styracosaurus greets them by lashing out at them and defeating Chomp with no holds barred. |
| 806 | * FightingYourFriend: Styracosaurus is forced to fight Chomp when they cross paths again. |
| 807 | * GuestStarPartyMember: He fights alongside the Alpha Gang's dinosaurs to stop the D-Team from leaving Zeta Point. |
| 808 | * TemperCeratops: Subverted. The Styracosaurus is one of the friendlest of the ceratopsians in the series, and doesn't take much to accept Chomp as one of his own, even happily surfing with him. This is played straight when Dr. Z modifies him to become more aggresive and puts him to fight against Chomp, the previously gentle dinosaur turned into a fierce warrior. |
| 809 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Since he was last used under the Alpha Gang's control, it is unknown if he was ever turned back to normal after being modified into a more aggressive dinosaur. |
| 810 | |
| 811 | !!Anchiceratops |
| 812 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anchiceratops.png]] |
| 813 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Paris, France in the middle of a dinosaur fashion craze. A dinosaur driven mad from all the noise and light in the city, it befriends Chomp when the Triceratops guides it towards less noisy spots. |
| 814 | |
| 815 | A second Anchiceratops appears in Season 2 under Gabbro's command in the Ancient France arc. |
| 816 | ---- |
| 817 | * BodyPaint: Jonathan assumes the profession of a painter and covers his body in paint with many random colorful patterns. |
| 818 | * {{Fartillery}}: His move card, Death Grind, makes him fart on the enemy dinosaur after hitting them with its tail and then dragging them around the ground, as Spiny learns the hard way. This was removed from the dub for censorship reasons, simply having the Anchiceratops hitting and ramming Spiny. |
| 819 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: The first Anchiceratops does not take a liking to the modern world thanks to being in a completely different time and place from its natural environment. |
| 820 | * MonumentalDamage: He rams into the Arc de Triomphe a few times and leaves a big crater in its side. |
| 821 | * SensoryOverload: All the noise and flashing lights he was exposed to made him very irritable. |
| 822 | * TemperCeratops: Zigzagged. The Anchiceratops is not normally an aggressive dinosaur, and is even shown to be friendly with Chomp, but the noise and lighting from Paris makes it go berserk multiple times through the episode. |
| 823 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: Inverted; The D-Team realize Anchiceratops is so upset because he is from the Cretaceous period, so seeing all sorts of modern things in France has made him react aggressively. |
| 824 | |
| 825 | !!Torosaurus |
| 826 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/torosaurus.png]] |
| 827 | A wild dinosaur that appears in the Kenyan savanna after a mother rhino activated its card when she was rescuing her calf from a poacher named Ungaro, who confuses the ceratopsian with a large rhino. A friendly but elusive dinosaur, he forms a bond with Chomp and helps him fight Terry. |
| 828 | ---- |
| 829 | * ShockAndAwe: He is able to shoot a blast of lightning from his horns when using Lightning Strike alongside Chomp in their fight with Terry. Besides Chomp, he is the only other ceratopsian in the show to use a Lightning based move card (Styracosaurus had the move card Lightning Spear, but he never used it). |
| 830 | * StealthyColossus: Despite being a pretty large dinosaur roaming around a savannah with a lot of open space, he manages to stay pretty well hidden for most of the episode. |

| 832 | !!Pentaceratops |
| 833 | [[quoteright:280:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pentaceratops.png]] |
| 834 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Hollywood, California, just when director Stanley Spinoberg was deciding to make a movie about dinosaurs. A male dinosaur in heat, he falls in love with a Triceratops animatronic from Spinoberg's movie, and becomes very protective of her and acts aggressive towards anyone he perceived as a threat for her or as a male rival. |
| 835 | |
| 836 | A second Pentaceratops appears in Season 2 under Gabbro's command in the Sengoku Period arc. |
| 837 | ---- |
| 838 | * CargoShip: An in-universe example. The Pentaceratops thinks the mother Triceratops animatronic on the movie set is real. |
| 839 | * CrazyJealousGuy: When he sees Chomp alongside the Triceratops animatronic, he immediately becomes defensive due to seeing him as a rival for her affections. |
| 840 | * ManlyTears: He pours a SingleTear out of his eye when he falls defeated, lamenting the fact he couldn't get with the "female" he courted. |
| 841 | * TemperCeratops: Played straight. The Pentaceratops acts like any male animal in heat would and it's the only ceratopsian from the first season that never befriends Chomp at all, instead viewing him as a rival for the love of the animatronic he fell in love with. |
| 842 | * TragicVillain: While being an animal with no morals, the first Pentaceratops is still the antagonist of the episode in which he appears. Regardless, the sight of him crying in defeat and failing to get the affection of the animatronic (that would have never returned it to him) is still a sad sight. |
| 843 | |
| 844 | !!Diceratops |
| 845 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diceratops.png]] |
| 846 | One of the dinosaurs Gabbro uses in the Caribbean Sea arc. Gabbro initially calls him to support his Edmontonia in his fight with Ace, but called it off when he obtained half of the map that indicates the location of the Blue Cosmos Stone. The Diceratops is later used to fight Paris on a Caribbean Beach. |
| 847 | ---- |
| 848 | * DualBoss: Subverted. As the Edmontonia was losing to Ace, Gabbro decides to summon the Diceratops to aid him. When it looks like Ace will face the two herbivores alone, Dr. Z and the Alpha Trio quickly appear and call Terry, with the two dinosaurs fighting different opponents. |
| 849 | * NonIndicativeName: The name "Diceratops" was used before on an insect, so the ceratopsian previously known by that name was renamed "Nedoceratops", making the name used in ''Dinosaur King'' inaccurate. |
| 850 | * RecurringBoss: It manages to remain undefeated in the first episode where it appears and becomes the main antagonist of the latter, where it fights Paris. |
| 851 | * ReusedCharacterDesign: Its CG model is a tweaked version of Chomp's with erect brow horns, no nose horn, and different coloring. It is also slightly smaller than Chomp. Funnily enough, Diceratops (or more properly, Nedoceratops) is a dubious genus and some scientists consider it a Triceratops's species. |
| 852 | * TemperCeratops: When fighting Paris, it is shown to be a very aggressive fighter. |
| 853 | |
| 854 | !!Achelousaurus |
| 855 | [[quoteright:180:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/achelousaurus.png]] |
| 856 | One of the dinosaurs Gabbro uses in the Ancient China arc, equipped with the Attack Burst move card. Summoned at first to capture Dr. Z (who was disguised as Sanzo Hoshi), Gabbro later brings it back to fight against Chomp when the alien tries to capture the real Sanzo Hoshi. |
| 857 | ---- |
| 858 | * AdaptationalBadass: The Attack Burst move card is stronger in the anime, as it doesn't only increases the attack of the Achelousaurus, but also summons a sandstorm that confuses the enemy and later some lightnings strike them when the ceratopsian throws the enemy to the sky. |
| 859 | * DeadlyDustStorm: Thanks to Attack Burst, the Achelousaurus can bring a sandstorm that blinds the enemy to give it the chance to attack by surprise. |
| 860 | * MagicEnhancement: Attack Burst allows the Achelousaurus to increase its attack a lot by surging itself with lots of energy. |
| 861 | * ShockAndAwe: Despite not being a lightning super move card, Attack Burst in the anime also makes some lightnings to attack the enemy when it is in the air after the first attack of the Achelousaurus. |
| 862 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Interestingly enough, Gabbro bothers to recover its card after Chomp defeats it, which is surprising as the Spectral Space Pirates tend to abandon their dinosaurs when they lose. Despite this, it never appears again after its debut episode. |
| 863 | |
| 864 | !!Pachyrhinosaurus |
| 865 | [[quoteright:232:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pachyrhinosaurus.png]] |
| 866 | The only dinosaur Foolscap brought with him for the Ancient Persia arc, equipped with the Anhanguera Dive move card. It is used by its master when he ambushes the D-Team, Zahrah and Genie in the Persian oasis under the belief they had the Red Cosmos Stone. |
| 867 | ---- |
| 868 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: It has a large thick nose horn, which the real Pachyrhinosaurus did not have. The real animal had a flat boss with horns only forming on the top of its frill and the center of it. Interestingly, Achelousaurus is still portrayed with a boss despite Pachyrhinosaurus not having one here. |
| 869 | * SummonMagic: Its move card, Anhanguera Dive allows it to summon the titular Anhanguera, who hits the enemy from multiple angles and then divebombs it. The attack is strong enough to defeat Ace of a single usage. |
| 870 | * TemperCeratops: Despite its scarce screentime, the Pachyrhinosaurus proves to be a fierce fighter, being able to go toe to toe against Chomp, throwing Ace away like nothing and being defeated through Ultimate Thunder. |
| 871 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: It is defeated by Chomp just as quickly as it appears. |

| 875 | |
| 876 | !!General |
| 877 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/earth_attribute.png]] |
| 878 | Attribute of earth. Dinosaurs of this attribute are activated when their card come into contact with any source of earth, land or dirt. This attribute consists entirely in thyreophorans, armored herbivore dinosaurs such as stegosaurs and ankylosaurs. They are strong against Lightning attribute dinosaurs, but weak against Grass attribute dinosaurs. |
| 879 | ---- |
| 880 | * ColorCodedElements: The icon of the attribute is portrayed as purple. The dinosaurs belonging to it are also associated with the color purple, as well with brown. |
| 881 | * DishingOutDirt: Dinosaurs of this attribute are able to create and manipulate earth. Their range of abilities goes from creating crevices on the ground, to generate sandtraps, raise their defense with chunks of earth, or manipulating crystals. |
| 882 | * ToughArmoredDinosaur: Members of the Stegosauria and Ankylosauria groups are found in this attribute, and as per depiction in popular culture, most of them are shown to be fierce fighters. |
| 883 | |
| 884 | !!Ankylosaurus |
| 885 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ankylosaurus.png]] |
| 886 | A wild dinosaur that appears in a subway from the city where the main characters live. He only wanted to sleep in peace, and, despite initially fleeing, eventually reacted aggresively towards those who tried to disturb his rest. |
| 887 | |
| 888 | A second Ankylosaurus appears in Season 2 commanded by Foolscap during the Ancient France arc. |
| 889 | ---- |
| 890 | * BewareMyStingerTail: After flipping Tank onto her back, Ankylosaurus slams his clubbed tail into Tank's belly two times, which defeats her. |
| 891 | * CurbStompBattle: Foolscap's Ankylosaurus also has the move card Mole Attack, and is able to defeat Tank in a matter of seconds by burrowing underneath her and pushing her far off into the air. |
| 892 | * FastTunneling: Both Ankylosauruses can travel really quickly underground when their move card Mole Attack is activated. |
| 893 | * SensoryOverload: The first Ankylosaurus is overwhelmed by all the sounds in the city when he is just trying to sleep, which makes him go berserk. |
| 894 | * TunnelKing: Its move card, appropriately named Mole Attack, allows the Ankylosaurus to dig underground and burst out of the ground where its opponent is standing to launch them into the air. |
| 895 | * 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 Armatus, 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. |
| 896 | |
| 897 | !!Euoplocephalus |
| 898 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/euoplocephalus.png]] |
| 899 | A wild dinosaur that appeared in the same touristic cavern in Japan that the D-Team, along with their classmates and teacher were visiting. It's a docile, peaceful animal and quickly makes friends with a lonely girl named Amy after she got lost in the cavern looking out for a lizard she found, being nicknamed "Hannah" by her. |
| 900 | ---- |
| 901 | * BewareMyStingerTail: Its move card Quake Saber allows a long crystal to grow on its tail and strike down its opponent. |
| 902 | * CrystalWeapon: Thanks to Quake Saber, he can form a crystal sword on his tail. |
| 903 | * GentleGiant: The Euoplocephalus is very docile towards Amy, a meek and short girl. |
| 904 | * HerbivoresAreFriendly: Plays it straight, being a peaceful herbivore that makes friends with Amy easily. |
| 905 | * ShesAManInJapan: Euoplocephalus is a female dinosaur in the Japanese version, but is referred to with masculine pronouns in the English version of the anime. |
| 906 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Euoplocephalus is one of many dinosaurs summoned to fight the Black T-Rex, but oddly enough, he just disappears from the fight and doesn't even attack the evil tyrannosaur. |
| 907 | |
| 908 | !!Stegosaurus |
| 909 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stegosaurus_8.png]] |
| 910 | A wild dinosaur that appears in the Angkor Wat temple, Cambodia. Normally a relatively quiet dinosaur minding his own business, he quickly reacts to aggresion and is fast to employ the super move card he was paired with, Spike Arrows. The locals think he's a mythical monster, so they employ Helga (who looks similar to the portray of the protector goddess of the temple) to took it down. He's eventually defeated by the combined efforts of Helga and Chomp, but the former ends taking up his cards for the Alpha Gang. |
| 911 | ---- |
| 912 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: He is distracted by Helga standing in front of him, which allows Chomp to charge into him with Thunder Bazooka, defeating him. |
| 913 | * BewareMyStingerTail: Not only does he swing his spiky tail to ward off Helga and Terry, but his tail can also shoot spikes out of it when he activists his Spike Arrows move card. |
| 914 | * SensoryOverload: He is not fond of the locals and their gong ringing, so he moves away from them as quickly as possible. |
| 915 | * SpikeShooter: His move card Spike Arrows makes him shoot glowing arrows out of his tail. They manage to impale Terry and defeat him, but Helga pulls one spike out of her shoulder as if it were nothing. |
| 916 | |
| 917 | !!Edmontonia |
| 918 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edmontonia.png]] |
| 919 | One of the dinosaurs Gabbro uses in the Caribbean Sea arc, equipped with the Rock Roller super move card. Gabbro intitially used it to dig a hole to find the Blue Cosmos Stone (hidden in a treasure chest), without success. It was later used to attack Rex and Max when the Spectral Space Pirates allied with Blackbeard, fighting Ace and later Terry (both with their recent [=DinoTector=] equipped). |
| 920 | ---- |
| 921 | * DishingOutDirt: His super move card, Rock Roller, allows the Edmontonia to summon a huge boulder that it throws to the enemy. However, it's no match for Terry's Ultimate Fire, who easily deviates the boulder and defeats the Edmontonia. |
| 922 | * DualBoss: Subverted. As it was losing to Ace, Gabbro summons his Diceratops to aid him. When it looks like Ace will face the two herbivores alone, Dr. Z and the Alpha Trio quickly appear and call Terry, with the two dinosaurs fighting different opponents. |
| 923 | * NoOntologicalInertia: The boulder created by Rock Roller doesn't disappears with the Edmontonia's defeat, as it almost crushes the D-Team and Jim after it descends the cliff where Terry sent it. |
| 924 | * ShouldersOfDoom: It is a brutish dinosaur controlled by the Spectral Space Pirates that has massive spikes facing outwards on its shoulders. |
| 925 | |
| 926 | !!Tuojiangosaurus |
| 927 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tuojiangosaurus.png]] |
| 928 | One of the dinosaurs Foolscap uses in the Sengoku Period arc, equipped with the Quake Saber super move card. Foolscap uses it along with Gabbro's Pentaceratops to attack the D-Team, resulting in a chase that ends taking them all into the Battle of Sekigahara. |
| 929 | ---- |
| 930 | * BewareMyStingerTail: It tries using Quake Saber against Paris, but is quickly defeated. |
| 931 | * CrystalWeapon: Thanks to Quake Saber, it can form a sword made of crystal on its tail. |
| 932 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Apart of the multiple spikes on the back and the thagomizer, it also possesses two long spikes coming out of its shoulders. It is also a battle beast used for the nefarious purposes of the Spectral Space Pirates. |
| 933 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: As most of its battle happens offscreen, the stegosaur doesn't get to do much before being defeated by Paris. |
| 934 | |
| 935 | !!Lexovisaurus |
| 936 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lexovisaurus.png]] |
| 937 | The only dinosaur Shear brought with her for the Ancient Persia arc, equipped with the Sand Trap super move card. Shear uses it to kidnap Zahrah so she could confess the whereabouts of the Red Cosmos Stone, coming into a fight against the D-Team and showing to be a very strong dinosaur. |
| 938 | ---- |
| 939 | * QuicksandSucks: Its move card Sand Trap causes Zoe, Paris, and Zahrah to sick in a pit of sand that appears beneath their feet. |
| 940 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: It is a dinosaur controlled by Shear with bold red and black markings on its head, plates, and body mixed in with yellow. |
| 941 | * SpikesOfVillainy: It has two prominent shoulder spikes and is mind-controlled by Shear to due her bidding. |
| 942 | * ToughArmoredDinosaur: Despite its size, Lexovisaurus is strong enough to defeat Chomp by simply ramming him into the air. |
| 943 | [[/folder]] |

| 945 | [[folder: Grass Dinosaurs]] |
| 946 | |
| 947 | !! General |
| 948 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grass_attribute.png]] |
| 949 | Attribute of grass. Dinosaurs of this attribute are activated when their card come into contact with any source of vegetation or flora. It includes ornithopods, mainly iguanodonts and hadrosaurids. They are strong against Earth attribute dinosaurs, but weak against Wind attribute dinosaurs. |
| 950 | ---- |
| 951 | * ColorCodedElements: The icon of the attribute is portrayed as green. The dinosaurs belonging to it are also associated with the color green. |
| 952 | * GreenThumb: Dinosaurs of this attribute are able to summon and manipulate vegetation and nature in general, albeit for buffing/debuffing purposes more than to harm directly the enemy. |
| 953 | * SummonMagic: Grass dinosaurs can summon several other dinosaurs, pterosaurs or even plesiosaurs with the right move card. They are the ones that usually hurt the enemy dinosaur instead of the grass dinosaur itself. |
| 954 | * WhiteMage: Compared to other attributes, grass dinosaurs don't specialize as much in inflicting direct damage to the enemy as much as they do in debuffing them or healing themselves or their allies. The few Grass move cards that deal direct damage to the opponent come from SummonMagic. |
| 955 | |
| 956 | !!Maiasaura |
| 957 | [[quoteright:313:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/maiasaura.png]] |

| 960 | [[caption-width-right:313:Baby]] |
| 961 | |
| 962 | A wild dinosaur that appears in the Swiss Alps. Having an egg alongside her, she turns into an angry, protective mother when she feels someone is threatening her offspring despite her otherwise gentle nature. |
| 963 | ---- |
| 964 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Maiasaura has only laid a single egg, which is inaccurate because hadrosaurs were well known for laying more than 20 eggs in a nest. |
| 965 | * AHandfulForAnEye: Maiasaura kicks a big cloud of dust at Terry before using her move card Diving Press to launch herself onto him while biting his neck. |
| 966 | * LeeroyJenkins: When she is one of the many dinosaurs summoned to fight the Black T-Rex, she impulsively leaps towards it, only to be effortlessly pushed away and defeated. |
| 967 | * MamaBear: Making honor to the name of her species ("Good Mother Lizard"), she is devoted to keeping her egg safe. |
| 968 | * RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Her baby is very adorable with its big eyes and tiny body. |
| 969 | * XenophobicHerbivore: She is very defensive and fights any dinosaur that poses a potential threat to her egg. She attacks Terry and Chomp, and even beats up Paris (who's a hadrosaur like her). She almost would have attacked the D-Team kids too if her egg did not hatch in time. |
| 970 | |
| 971 | !!Altirhinus |
| 972 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/altirhinus.png]] |
| 973 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Brazil. A playful dinosaur with a fondness for football. He gets taken by the Alpha Gang after Terry defeats him, and later appears in Augusta, Georgia when the Alpha Gang tries to get the Super Impact move card from a local kid named Dewey. |
| 974 | ---- |
| 975 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: While Altirhinus is still a dinosaur the size of an elephant, the Supersaurus it is later allied with is much, much bigger. |
| 976 | * GagNose: Or rather, "gag snout". The Altirhinus has a tall arch on the top of its snout that gives him a rather goofy appearance. |
| 977 | * SummonMagic: In his second appearance, the Alpha Gang manage to get their hands on the Super Impact card, which allows Altirhinus to summon a humongous Supersaurus. |
| 978 | * RollingAttack: When it uses the move card Super Impact, a Supersaurus is summoned to carry and launch Altirhinus into the air, where he will tuck his body into a ball and spin into his opponent with devastating force. |
| 979 | |
| 980 | !!Saurolophus |
| 981 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saurolophus.png]] |

| 983 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/green_crest_saurolophus.PNG]] |
| 984 | [[caption-width-right:300:Green crest Saurolophus]] |
| 985 | A couple of Saurolophus (each one with a distinct card), one with an orange crest and the other with a green one. They're found by Zander (who got lost from Ursula and Ed) in a Mexican desert, who then separates their cards when he finds the capsule where they were contained, activating the one with the orange crest who starts to chase Zander (who kept the green one) to reunite with its mate. |
| 986 | ---- |
| 987 | * AmbiguousGender: The genders of the orange-crested individual and green-crested individual are never made clear. It's implied the one with the orange crest is a male, while the one with the green crest is female. |
| 988 | * BackForTheFinale: The Saurolophus couple can be seen nuzzling their heads together in the final episode. |
| 989 | * CanonForeigner: The Saurolophus with the green crest is exclusive to the anime, not appearing neither in the arcade nor the DS game. |
| 990 | * CurbStompBattle: Both Saurolophuses are taken out with minimal effort by Tank and Spiny, the latter who is known for being notoriously weak for his size. |
| 991 | * SocialOrnithopod: Both Saurolophuses are deeply in love with each other. |
| 992 | |
| 993 | !!Iguanodon |
| 994 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iguanodon.png]] |
| 995 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Australia. Very friendly and docile, he befriends Ursula when he meets her along with Zander and Ed when they were lost in the desert, eventually making her realize that dinosaurs are more than cards, to the point she ends opposing the Alpha Gang getting him. |
| 996 | ---- |
| 997 | * BackForTheFinale: He is briefly seen again being ridden by Dr. Owen in the final episode. |
| 998 | * CurbStompBattle: Since he is a very docile dinosaur, Terry has a one-sided fight with him and wins without much effort. |
| 999 | * HerbivoresAreFriendly: He is nothing but gentle to Ursula, which makes her realize that dinosaurs are not just creatures she can use to fight. |
| 1000 | * MoralityPet: For Ursula. The friendship she establishes with him makes her oppose the Alpha Gang ideals for the first time and she even indirectly gives his card to the D-Team so that Dr. Z wouldn't abuse the dinosaur. |
| 1001 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Being an ornithopod found in a desert that one member of the Alpha Trio finds while lost and eventually is given to the D-Team by them for the sake of the dinosaur makes the Iguanodon similar to the Saurolophus couple from a couple of episodes early. |
| 1002 | |
| 1003 | !!Fukuisaurus |
| 1004 | [[quoteright:315:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fukuisaurus.png]] |
| 1005 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Kyoto, Japan, and the last dinosaur of Dr. Z's collection to appear in the wild. With the super move card Emerald Garden in its possession, it's attracted to shiny objects. It comes into conflict with the D-Team when it stole the hair pin of a geisha in training named Shino. |
| 1006 | ---- |
| 1007 | * BackForTheFinale: He is shown again being ridden by Rod and Laura in the final episode. |
| 1008 | * EnergyAbsorption: Emerald Garden allows the Fukuisaurus to shoot a sphere of green energy towards a target. Once the target is hit, a garden that drains the energy of the opponent appears and then gives that energy to the Fukuisaurus. |
| 1009 | * OneHitKill: The Emerald Garden super move card is potentially this. The Fukuisaurus only had to hit both Tank and Spiny once to defeat them. |
| 1010 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: As a cow-sized ornithopod, he is relatively small compared to other elephant-sized and above relatives. However, thanks to his move card, the Fukuisaurus manages to defeat both Tank and Spiny. He is even shown to be a good physical fighter against bigger dinosaurs too. |
| 1011 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Who would expect a small ornithopod to push aside two dinosaurs that outweigh him by several tons? |
| 1012 | |
| 1013 | !!Shantungosaurus |
| 1014 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shantungosaurus.png]] |
| 1015 | The only dinosaur Foolscap brought with him for the Ancient China arc, equipped with the Green Impulse super move card. Despite being under the control of the Spectral Space Pirates, the huge hadrosaur is shown to be rather peaceful and takes a liking to Sanzo Hoshi. |
| 1016 | ---- |
| 1017 | * AntiVillain: It's not shown to be very malicious despite being controlled by Foolscap, only fighting when it was necessary. |
| 1018 | * GentleGiant: Zigzagged. The Shantungosaurus rivals in size with some medium/large sauropods, but for the most part, it is shown as a friendly animal. However, once in combat, the hadrosaur becomes more aggressive and shows to be a rather good fighter. |
| 1019 | * HerbivoresAreFriendly: Upon meeting Sazo Hoshi, the Shantungosaurus licks him on his face playfully. Despite later fighting the D-Team and defeating Paris easily, Sanzo Hoshi says it is actually a good-hearted creature, which implies all of the misdeeds of the giant herbivore were influenced by Foolscap. |
| 1020 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Implied; while Foolscap treated Shantungosaurus rather poorly, Sanzo Hoshi believed there was still good inside him. Later, when Foolscap tries to order Shantungosaurus around again, he swats Foolscap away with his tail. He does not gain full control of himself though, as Chomp had to defeat him with Plasma Anchor to break the spectral armor technology controlling him. |
| 1021 | * SummonMagic: Its Green Impulse super move card allows it to summon a Tupuxuara that attacks its enemies. |
| 1022 | |
| 1023 | !!Lanzhousaurus |
| 1024 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lanzhousaurus.png]] |
| 1025 | One of the dinosaurs Shear uses in the Ancient China arc, equipped with the Power Drain move card. Also the last Grass dinosaur to appear in the anime. It is used to keep the D-Team busy and give time to the Spectral Space Pirates to take the Purple Cosmos Stone in the cave where it resided. |
| 1026 | ---- |
| 1027 | * {{Gasshole}}: It burps after draining Chomp's energy, a side-effect from Power Drain. |
| 1028 | * EnergyAbsorption: Lanzhousaurus uses the move card Power Drain to suck up Chomp's energy to power itself up. This doesn't provide it an advantage though, as Chomp quickly defeats it with Ultimate Thunder. |
| 1029 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: One of the most short-lived dinosaurs, being featured for only a few seconds before being defeated. |
| 1030 | [[/folder]] |

| 1036 | Attribute of wind. Dinosaurs of this attribute are activated when their card comes into contact with any source of wind or air. It includes medium and small sized theropods coming from many families. They are strong against Grass attribute dinosaurs, but weak against Fire attribute dinosaurs. |

| 1038 | * BlowYouAway: Dinosaurs of this attribute are able to generate and manipulate wind, particularly specializing in quick and powerful attacks to overwhelm the opponent. |
| 1039 | * ColorCodedElements: The icon of the attribute is portrayed as white. The dinosaurs belonging to it are also associated with the color white, as well light blue, dark blue, and purple. |

| 1042 | [[quoteright:307:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/utahraptor_2.png]] |
| 1043 | A wild dinosaur that appears in a TV station in Japan. After being easily defeated by Tank, he later confronts the D-Team when the Alpha Gang summons him to fight against Chomp. |
| 1044 | ---- |
| 1045 | * AfraidOfNeedles: One individual in Season 2 is shown to be cowering in fear at the sight of Dr. Drake's giant syringe needle. |
| 1046 | * CurbStompBattle: On the receiving end by Tank. She defeats him rather easily with her Dino Swing move card. |
| 1047 | * FragileSpeedster: The Utahraptor may be light on his feet, but he isn't too durable. |
| 1048 | * RaptorAttack: It's portrayed as a scaly dromaeosaur with pronated hands, although it has some slight feathers on his head. |
| 1049 | |
| 1050 | !!Ceratosaurus |
| 1051 | [[quoteright:313:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ceratosaurus.png]] |
| 1052 | A dinosaur that didn't appear in the wild, but had his card in Jonathan's album full of dinosaur cards. He's taken by the Alpha Gang with the rest of the album, and is later accidentally activated in their headquarters by Helga. After being defeated by Terry, the D-Team (who got accidentally transported to the HQ) succesfully took his card before he could be modified. |
| 1053 | ---- |
| 1054 | * GuestStarPartyMember: He is summoned to fight alongside the D-Team's dinosaurs in two episodes, the first one against the brainwashed Styracosaurus and the second one against the Black T. rex. |
| 1055 | * LeeroyJenkins: It tries charging headfirst towards the Black T. rex, only to be kicked away. |
| 1056 | |
| 1057 | !!Megaraptor |
| 1058 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/megaraptor.png]] |
| 1059 | A wild dinosaur that appears in an airport in Japan. In the second season, another appears in the Caribbean Sea arc used by Shear. |
| 1060 | ---- |
| 1061 | * ALizardNamedLiz: Shear nicknames her Megaraptor "Meg". |
| 1062 | * AmbiguousGender: The second Megaraptor controlled by Shear is nicknamed "Meg". It is unclear whether the Megaraptor is actually a female though considering Shear simply calls it a shortened part of its species name. |
| 1063 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Its depiction in ''Dinosaur King'' portrays it as a particularly large dromaeosaur, including a sickle claw on the feet of the animal. The actual animal wasn't closely related to dromaeosaurs, being related to a different group of theropods (appropriately named "megaraptorans") that scientists have debated if they were related to carnosaurs or coleurusaurs (recent studies situate them close to coleurusaurs for now). Furthermore, the sickle claws turned out to be claws belonging to the '''arms''' of the Megaraptor instead of its feet. It is currently uncertain if megaraptorans had a lot of feathers though. |
| 1064 | * LeeroyJenkins: The first Megaraptor tries charging headfirst towards the Black T. rex, only to be kicked away. |
| 1065 | * LightningBruiser: Shear's Megaraptor is strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Ace, Paris, and Chomp. It is fast, agile, and pretty strong. While it did not defeat the D-Team dinosaurs, it certainly was giving them a rough time until Ace used his Ultimate Wind move card to defeat it. |
| 1066 | * PaperTiger: Although Zoe calls the first Megaraptor a dangerous dinosaur, it doesn't really seem all that aggressive. It just walks around the airport never really attacking anyone and only frightens the people because it is a big carnivorous dinosaur. In fact, it gets easily beaten up by Spiny, who is usually a PaperTiger himself. |
| 1067 | * SingleStrokeBattle: Ace and Shear's Megaraptor end up running towards each other using Ultimate Wind and Ninja Strike respectively. After a few seconds when they cut through each other, Megaraptor falls defeated while Ace is still left standing. |
| 1068 | |
| 1069 | !!Deltadromeus |
| 1070 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deltadromeus.png]] |
| 1071 | A wild dinosaur that appears in India. A dinosaur who loves water and swimming, likely because the animal lived in rivers back in the Mesozoic. It makes friends with an Indian princess named Meena, of which it becomes very protective about. |
| 1072 | ---- |
| 1073 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: He is shown swimming the butterfly stroke, which would be impossible for a theropod dinosaur like him thanks to the way their shoulders and arms were structured. |
| 1074 | * BackForTheFinale: He briefly makes a cameo in the finale swimming with Futabasaurus and Opthalmosaurus. |
| 1075 | * CarnivoresAreMean: Subverted. Deltadromeus may cause a bit of collateral damage, but he is one of the few wild carnivorous dinosaurs to not be portrayed as all that aggressive. The only reason he is running across the town is because he is looking for the Ganges River. |
| 1076 | * CurbStompCushion: While Spiny ultimately ends up overwhelming Deltadromeus, he at least knocked Spiny around two times. |
| 1077 | |
| 1078 | !!Allosaurus |
| 1079 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/allosaurus.png]] |
| 1080 | A wild dinosaur that appears in Barcelona, Spain, just when Max's mother was there as a tourist. A ferocious, powerful dinosaur, the Allosaurus is mostly looking for something to eat, having a special taste for hams, causing mayhem through the city in his quest for his beloved food. |
| 1081 | ---- |
| 1082 | * BullSeeingRed: A prehistoric, reptilian variant, as well as a subversion. After two attempts to get him fail, Ace manages to lure the Allosaurus towards a bullfigting plaza wearing a red cape similar to those used by bullfighters. However, the thing that brings the Allosaurus's attention are the hams held by the cape. Bonus points because the episode happens in [[TorosYFlamenco Spain]]. |
| 1083 | * 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. He also defeats Spiny, who is a much larger theropod than him. |
| 1084 | * MonumentalDamage: The Allosaurus manages to destroy the Sagrada Familia (one, if not the most, iconic monument of Barcelona and one of the most emblematic of Spain) when he throws Chomp towards the building during their fight. |
| 1085 | * OneTrackMindedHunger: The Allosaurus is simply looking for ham to eat while roaming around in Barcelona. |
| 1086 | * SuperSpeed: When it activates the move card Mayfly, he is charged with energy that can make him attack his opponent at blinding speeds. |
| 1087 | |
| 1088 | !!Majungasaurus |
| 1089 | [[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/majungasaurus.png]] |
| 1090 | One of the dinosaurs Foolscap uses in the Ancient Rome arc, equipped with the Mayfly super move card. Foolscap summons him to aid the Shunosaurus in getting the Yellow Cosmos Stone from Sophia, before the D-Team appears and fights both dinosaurs. |
| 1091 | ---- |
| 1092 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Its arms are longer than the real animal, which is saying a lot because abelisaurs were well known for their stiff, stubby, useless arms. |
| 1093 | * DualBoss: It and the Shunosaurus fight together against the three of the D-Team's dinosaurs in the climax of episode 52. |
| 1094 | * FragileSpeedster: It's a very fast and agile theropod, but a single attack from Chomp is all it takes to defeat it. |
| 1095 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Combines this with WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver. Has black and white bands going across its red body and is a vicious theropod controlled by Foolscap. |
| 1096 | * SuperSpeed: It uses Mayfly against Ace and and is able to strike him from all sides in rapid succession. |
| 1097 | * WhiteAndRedAndEerieAllOver: Combines this with RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver. Has black and white bands going across its red body and is a vicious theropod controlled by Foolscap. This overall coloration makes it resemble a milk snake. |
| 1098 | |
| 1099 | !!Gojirasaurus |
| 1100 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gojirasaurus.png]] |
| 1101 | One of the dinosaurs Shear uses in the Sengoku Period arc, equipped with the Defense Burst move card. An agile, fast and strong theropod, the Gojirasaurus proves to be a difficult opponent for both Chomp and Ace. Its defeat ends causing Shear's amnesia after hitting her accidentally thanks to Ace's Hurricane Beat. |
| 1102 | ---- |
| 1103 | * AttackReflector: Defense Burst allows the Gojirasaurus to intercept enemy attacks, shape them into a ball of energy and then throw it at them, as it does with Chomp's Plasma Anchor. |
| 1104 | * CatchAndReturn: Its move card Defense Burst allows it to catch Chomp’s Plasma Anchor attack, and throw it right back at him in a destructive ball of energy. |
| 1105 | * ImmuneToBullets: When Hanzo throws it two kunais (closest equivalent of bullets in the Sengoku Period), the Gojirasaurus calmly deflects them with its scales, completely unharmed. |
| 1106 | * LightningBruiser: Gojirasaurus is very quick, very agile, and surprisingly strong for its size. |
| 1107 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: It only appears in one episode and ends defeated by the end of it, but it hitting Shear thanks to Ace's attack ends up shaping Shear's role for the rest of the arc. |
| 1108 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite being small for theropod standards, the Gojirasaurus is a powerful beast able to throw around Ace and Chomp like ragdolls. |
| 1109 | * TokenMinority: It is the only dinosaur from the Triassic time period to appear in the anime. |
| 1110 | |
| 1111 | !!Afrovenator |
| 1112 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/afrovenator.png]] |
| 1113 | The only dinosaur Gabbro brought with him for the Ancient Persia arc, equipped with the Tornado Toss super move card. Also the last Wind dinosaur to appear in the anime. Gabbro initially summoned it to open the cave of the 39 thieves (where the Red Cosmos Stone was trapped), but due to a lack of success he recalled the megalosaur to try another method. Afterwards Gabbro uses it to deal with the Alpha Gang and later the D-Team, who were also in the cave. |
| 1114 | ---- |
| 1115 | * GlassCannon: It has a strong attack, being able to defeat Spiny with his [=DinoTector=] equipped (being the first dinosaur of the Spectral Space Pirates to defeat one of the 6 main dinosaurs with [=DinoTector=]). Its defense, however, isn't as good, as Ace manages to beat it after using a single super move card. |
| 1116 | * StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite being a medium-sized theropod, it manages to one-shot Spiny (who even if it isn't the strongest dinosaur, had his [=DinoTector=] active) with a single move. |
| 1117 | * TornadoMove: Using the move card Tornado Toss, the Afrovenator runs around Spiny so fast it creates a tornado that launches him into the air. |
| 1118 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: An owner-pet/tool case. The anime has Gabbro own it, but in the manga that adapts the second season, the Afrovenator is instead used by Shear. |
| 1119 | * UseYourHead: Gabbro calls him at first to open the cave of the 39 thieves by headbutting the cave repeatedly until creating an opening. As this proves to be useless, the alien recalls the theropod to find a new way to open the cave. |

| 1123 | |
| 1124 | !!General |
| 1125 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/normal_attribute.png]] |
| 1126 | Dinosaurs (as well as pterosaurs and occasionally marine reptiles) that only appear when the move cards which contains them is used by the owner of a Dino-Holder or a similar device. Dinosaurs and other mesozoic reptiles that don't fit the criteria to enter into the attributes of the franchise usually are put here. |
| 1127 | ---- |
| 1128 | * NonElemental: While some assist cards belong to the Water and Grass attributes, the rest don't possesses any element at all and don't have any particular advantage over any dinosaur. |
| 1129 | * SummonMagic: They are summoned to support and aid the dinosaur they're partnered with, the effects depending on the function of the card. |
| 1130 | |
| 1131 | !!Pteranodon |
| 1132 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pteranodon_trio.PNG]] |
| 1133 | A trio of pterosaurus found in a Grass attribute super move card known as Metal Wing. They were found in a book full of dinosaur cards that Jonathan was selling in a mall, their card being taken by Zoe before the Alpha Gang retreated with the rest of the cards. From that point onwards, they become an usual attack to Paris. |
| 1134 | ---- |
| 1135 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: While they are accurately sized, they have naked bodies, pointy wing tips, and grasping feet. |
| 1136 | * DemotedToExtra: While they appear a lot of times in Season 1, they are used far less frequently in Season 2, and are even less successful in fights. |
| 1137 | * RazorWings: In the Grass move card Metal Wing, they are summoned to cut through an opponent with their wings by flying really fast towards them. Spiny is often on the receiving end of this attack. |
| 1138 | * TheWorfEffect: They are easily knocked aside by the Tupuxuara in the Ancient China arc of Season 2, who ends up replacing them as the main assist pterosaur. |
| 1139 | |
| 1140 | !!Seismosaurus |
| 1141 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seismosaurus.png]] |
| 1142 | A humungous sauropod found in a Grass attribute super move card known as Big Foot Assault hidden in an skeleton of its species in the Natural History Museum of New York. A dinosaur so big and gigantic nothing can stop it. Its main function is to crush other dinosaurs with its feet. |
| 1143 | ---- |
| 1144 | * GiantEqualsInvincible: It is a gargantuan dinosaur that has never been defeated. It has been briefly overpowered in a fight against Supersaurus though, a dinosaur roughly the same size as it. |
| 1145 | * GiantFootOfStomping: Being a part of the appropriately named Big Foot Assault move card, Seismosaurus uses its massive feet to crush Terry, Spiny, and Tank in its first appearance by stepping on them. |
| 1146 | * NonIndicativeName: It is referred to Seismosaurus, but in recent years, Seismosaurus has been reclassified into a species of Diplodocus. |
| 1147 | * StoryBreakerPower: The Big Foot Assault move card is basically an autowin, as the Seismosaurus is so big and powerful it defeats every dinosaur it fights against. For that, it is only used thrice through the series, as otherwise the D-Team would have won all the battles easily. |
| 1148 | |
| 1149 | !!Supersaurus |
| 1150 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/supersaurus.png]] |
| 1151 | Another huge sauropod belonging to a Grass super move card known as Super Impact. The card was found in Georgia by a boy named Dewey, and later stolen by the Alpha Gang to support their Altirhinus against the D-Team. |
| 1152 | ---- |
| 1153 | * ArtisticLicensePhysics: The whole Super Impact move card is built on this and RuleOfCool. It basically involves the dinosaur who summons the Supersaurus to jump onto its neck and then being thrown by the sauropod at great speeds to impact the enemy dinosaur. Not only would an animal (even something as big as the Supersaurus) be unable to lift something as heavy as a big ornithopod without breaking its neck, but such neck wouldn't be as flexible as the one from the Supersaurus from ''Dinosaur King''. |
| 1154 | * BehemothBattle: Has one against Zoe's Seismosaurus in the 20th episode of the anime, first using the Altirhinus as a proxy and later fighting it directly itself. Noticeably, it was winning the fight until Chomp distracted it. |
| 1155 | |
| 1156 | !!Futabasaurus |
| 1157 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/futabasaurus.png]] |
| 1158 | A plesiosaur found in a Water super move card known as Futaba Super Cannon, which was in a mine the Alpha Trio was excavating to obtain Alpha Metal from. He was used to aid Spiny and Tank in a fight against the D-Team, but got wounded accidentally by Tank and retreated to heal his wound. He then meets Zoe, who heals him and nicknames him "Futaba", who then befriends her. |
| 1159 | ---- |
| 1160 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: When Zoe has Paris use her Nature's Blessing move to heal Futaba's wound, he reacts grateful to Zoe and plays with her in the lake. When he is summoned by Spiny again later, he realizes he is fighting against Zoe, and decides to turn on the Alpha Gang, defeating Tank and Spiny. Since the latter was summoning his card, this meant Futabasaurus turned into a card after defeating Spiny. |
| 1161 | * TheBusCameBack: Futaba is summoned again in the Caribbean arc of Season 2 to help Spiny fight Jobaria. He is shown to still remember Zoe as he smiles when she says hi to him. |
| 1162 | * ALizardNamedLiz: Zoe simply refers to him as Futaba. |
| 1163 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: After being hit by Tank and remembering Zoe's kindness towards him, he decides to betray the Alpha Gang and defeats Tank and Spiny by himself (also disappearing as Spiny was the one who summoned him). |
| 1164 | * OneHitKill: While it doesn't kill anyone, Futaba's Super Cannon ability allows him to shoot a powerful blast of water that was able to revert Ace, Tank, and even Spiny into cards with just a single blast. |
| 1165 | |
| 1166 | !!Pawpawsaurus |
| 1167 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pawpawsaurus.png]] |
| 1168 | A dinosaur found in a move card known as Tag Team, in the Temple of the Moon, Peru. The Alpha Gang finds it and proceeds to use it against the D-Team due to the useful effect of its move card coupled with its resiliance. |
| 1169 | ---- |
| 1170 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the arcade game, Pawpawsaurus was not only an Assist Creature, but a Secret Dinosaur with its own set of powerful moves. In the anime, it is only seen as an Assist Dinosaur. |
| 1171 | * ALizardNamedLiz: Ursula refers to Pawpawsaurus as Pawpaw. |
| 1172 | * MadeOfIron: It is still standing after getting struck with Chomp's Lightning Strike move and getting repeatedly hit by Ace's Ninja Attack. |
| 1173 | * TagTeam: It is a part of a move card with this very name. When Terry gets to use Tag Team, Pawpawsaurus switches places with him and takes in all the attacks meant for Terry. |
| 1174 | * ToughArmoredDinosaur: Thanks to the move card Tag Team, Pawpawsaurus can fill in for Terry in a fight and take in all the attacks meant for him. He doesn't even get defeated by any attacks from Chomp or Ace. |
| 1175 | |
| 1176 | !!Velociraptor |
| 1177 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/velociraptor_6.png]] |
| 1178 | A trio of dromaeosaurs found in a card in Australia, revealed by the rampage of the Iguanodon. Seth took the card and modified it to make it stronger, changing its shape from rectangular to traingular. The Velociraptors are strong for their size and have two movements inside their card; Critical Block (that stops the enemy dinosaur from using an attack) and Final Fury (where the raptors turn into energy beams to pull and then throw the enemy dinosaur into the ground). |
| 1179 | ---- |
| 1180 | * RaptorAttack: More accurate than the other dromaeosaurs of ''Dinosaur King'', but it still needs more feathery coverage, has pronated hands and once again their social behavior is used as the main point of their movements. |
| 1181 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Despite their small size, they manage to take down the bigger and heavier Chomp. |
| 1182 | * TerribleTrio: Three Velociraptors are contained in the move card. |
| 1183 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite being given some focus and being shown to be particularly powerful, they are only used two times in back-to-back episodes throughout the series. The final episode shows them together with some of the other minor dinosaurs, running alongside a Deinonychus trio. |
| 1184 | |
| 1185 | !!Piatnitzkysaurus |
| 1186 | [[quoteright:173:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/piatnitzkysaurus.png]] |
| 1187 | A dinosaur belonging to a move card known as Venom Fang, in possession of Shear. She summons the Piatnitzkysaurus at the climax of the Ancient Rome arc, to support her Yangchuanosaurus by distracting Chomp while the large theropod dealt with Paris and Ace. |
| 1188 | ---- |
| 1189 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Oddly enough, this dinosaur is portrayed with a venomous bite. No dinosaurs were ever known to be venomous. A small theropod called Sinornithosaurus was thought to have venom sacs in its skull, but this was later disproven. |
| 1190 | * BlowYouAway: The Piatnitzkysaurus started as an assist dinosaur from a move card, but in the last iteration of the arcade game, it was made as a playable dinosaur belonging to the Wind attribute. |
| 1191 | * DualBoss: It is summoned by Shear so it and Yang could deal with the dinosaurs of the D-Team, taking on Chomp. It proves to be way weaker than its partner, as Chomp defeats him rather easily and proves to be more of an annoyance rather than a legit threat. |
| 1192 | * FourFingeredHands: The real animal only had three fingers, but for whatever reason, Piatnitzkysaurus is given four fingers here. |
| 1193 | * PoisonousPerson: It is summoned under Yangchuanosaurus's control in the move card Venom Fang, which allows it to infect its opponent with a nasty bite. Chomp never gets bitten though as he evades Piatnitzkysaurus through most of the fight and defeats it with Thunder Bazooka. |
| 1194 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: A venomous black dinosaur with red stripes and patterns through its body employed by Shear. |
| 1195 | * ToxicDinosaur: It is a venomous dinosaur. |
| 1196 | |
| 1197 | !!Opthalmosaurus |
| 1198 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ophtalmosaurus.png]] |
| 1199 | A quintet of ichthyosaurs found in a Water super move card known as Ocean Panic, belonging to Foolscap. They are used to aid the Jobaria on its fight against Spiny, but end battling Futaba instead when Ursula uses the Futaba Super Cannon attack so Spiny could fight the Jobaria without hidrances. |
| 1200 | ---- |
| 1201 | * DeviousDolphins: While ichthyosaurs are obviously not dolphins, they behave a whole lot like aggravated dolphins with how they flip out of the water and gang up on their opponent. |
| 1202 | * ZergRush: Their main method of attack is to gang up against the enemy dinosaur to overwhelm it with numbers and hit it through multiple angles. |
| 1203 | |
| 1204 | !!Tupuxuara |
| 1205 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tupuxuara.png]] |
| 1206 | A pterosaur [[note]]though the number of Tupuxuaras summoned depends on the episode.[[/note]] found in a Grass super move card known as Green Impulse. Foolscap initially used it to support his Shantungosaurus against Zoe's trio of Pteranodon, but upon the defeat of the hadrosaur and Foolscap abandoning the cards, Zoe begins to use Green Impulse to aid Paris on her fights. |
| 1207 | ---- |
| 1208 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the arcade, Green Impulse manages to summon 8 Tupuxuaras instead of only one, plus it also steals energy from the enemy dinosaur. In the anime, the first three times it is used it only brings a single Tupuxuara, though that is fixed a bit when Zoe used the super move card against Gigas, who summons 7 Tupuxuaras. The energy stealing ability of the attack is never used or alluded to in the anime, however. |
| 1209 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In the second season, they replace the Pteranodons in the role of move card pterosaurs. |
| 1210 | * ZergRush: When used against Gigas, Green Impulse brings seven Tupuxuara instead of one, ganging up on the theropod and slicing him in a flying ring after which they drop him so he crashes into the ground. |
| 1211 | |
| 1212 | !!Anhanguera |
| 1213 | [[quoteright:347:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anhanguera.png]] |
| 1214 | A pterosaur [[note]]though when Ursula uses the card later it summons 2 Anhangueras instead of only one.[[/note]] found in a move card known as Anhanguera Dive. Originally owned by Foolscap, he uses the pterosaur to support his Pachyrhinosaurus in the Ancient Persia arc. After being defeated, the card falls into the hands of the Alpha Gang. |
| 1215 | ---- |
| 1216 | * BellyScrapingFlight: How Tupuxuara manages to defeat the Anhanguera. |
| 1217 | * GlassCannon: It manages to defeat Ace easily of a single use of its move, but its stamina proves to be not as impressive when the Tupuxuara defeats it by throwing it against the desert in a single maneuver. |
| 1218 | * HighAltitudeBattle: Anhanguera has a fight against Tupuxuara in the Ancient Persia arc. The fight ends when Tupuxuara latches onto Anhanguera and drags it across the ground. |

| 1223 | !!General |
| 1224 | [[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/secret_attribute.png]] |
| 1225 | A recent attribute created by the experiments Dr. Z performed in certain dinosaurs. Dinosaurs of this attribute don't have any characteristic they share in common and tend to have movements based on a certain trait of them. They are powerful, and are activated when their card come into contact with any source of light. They don't possesses a particular advantage over any other attribute, but compensate it with their sheer power. |
| 1226 | ---- |
| 1227 | * GoldColoredSuperiority: All the Secret dinosaurs have bright gold cards and are considerably more powerful than most average unaltered dinosaurs. |
| 1228 | * LightEmUp: Though not all Secret dinosaurs are associated with light, they are represented by a rainbow, their cards are activated with light and their attacks tend to have some light power associated to them. |
| 1229 | * RainbowMotif: Unlike other dinosaurs, they are associated with the rainbow instead of a single color, as seen in their symbol and their attacks. |
| 1230 | |
| 1231 | !!Pachycephalosaurus |
| 1232 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pachycephalosaurus.png]] |
| 1233 | The first secret dinosaur to appear. Raised by Dr. Z to be a powerful dinosaur, he seems to hold a grudge towards the scientist for all the experiments he did to him in order to increase his power. He appears in Pisa, Italy, where he develops a strange obssession with the sun. |
| 1234 | ---- |
| 1235 | * HeadbuttingPachy: While Pachycephalosaurus never butts heads with another Pachy, his dome is the main source of his power, which he uses to ram things with. |
| 1236 | * PowerGlows: When he was young, Pachycephalosaurus was fused with a move card, which had the move card's energy fuse into his dome, making it glow all the time. |
| 1237 | * RunningGag: Whenever Dr. Z tries to hug him as a baby, he repeatedly head-butts the doctor. |
| 1238 | * TroubledTeen: Pachycephalosaurus is identified as a young dinosaur and is frequently compared to the dinosaur equivalent of a teenager. Ed even suggests getting him video games to calm down his rowdy nature. |
| 1239 | * UseYourHead: He uses his dome to ram into various things. He is able to take down Ace and defeat Spiny by ramming into them, and even shoots a beam of laser energy from his dome that weakens Chomp and defeats Terry. |
| 1240 | |
| 1241 | !!Therizinosaurus |
| 1242 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/therizinosaurus_3.png]] |
| 1243 | The second secret dinosaur to appear, appearing in the city where the main characters live. Even among the Secret dinosaurs that Dr. Z created, this one is especially traumatized due to the harsh treatment he received at the hands of the doctor during his childhood, reacting very aggresively anytime he sees him. |
| 1244 | ---- |
| 1245 | * AbsurdlySharpClaws: He attacks his opponents with his really long claws. He's also shown using his claws to climb on buildings and cut apart street lamps like butter. |
| 1246 | * EasilyForgiven: Despite the abuse Dr. Z inflicted on him as a child, he ends up being the only Secret dinosaur to forgive Dr. Z when the old man reminds him of the good times they had together, particularly whenever Therizinosaurus got to cut Dr. Z's behind with his long claws. He even ends up catching Dr. Z when they both fall and takes the impact of the fall for the doctor. |
| 1247 | * OneManArmy: Therizinosaurus is able to defeat Tank, Spiny, Terry, Ace, and Paris with minimal effort. Even though he doesn't defeat Chomp, he is severely weakened after attacking him. |
| 1248 | * ShesAManInJapan: The Therizinosaurus is a female in the Japanese version, but the English dub changed the dinosaur to a male one. |
| 1249 | * ShownTheirWork: The Therizinosaurus correctly has four toes on its feet. The real creature had four toes, so its feet could support its weight better thanks to having a different body structure than other theropods. |
| 1250 | * SpinAttack: His Gyro Claw attack allows Therizinosaurus to spin around with his claws out. He throws Spiny and Terry off the building they are fighting on using this attack. |
| 1251 | * TraumaButton: The mere sight of Dr. Z puts Therizinosaurus into a blind rage, thanks to Dr. Z's abuse on him as a child. |
| 1252 | * WolverineClaws: The main trait of the species, and this one is no exception, being able to cause a lot of destruction with them thanks to Dr. Z's experiments enhancing its effectiveness. |
| 1253 | |
| 1254 | !!Deinonychus |
| 1255 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deinonychus.png]] |
| 1256 | A trio of dromaeosaurs contained in the same card, and the third secret dinosaur to appear. They appear in a ninja village in Japan, and have names (Dino, Dano and Sue). Unlike the previous secret dinosaurs, these ones don't make any attempt to reconcile with Dr. Z for the abuse he performed on them and are cunning and aggresive. |
| 1257 | |
| 1258 | A second Deinonychus trio appears in Season 2 commanded by Shear during the Sengoku Period arc. |
| 1259 | ---- |
| 1260 | * AnimeHair: The Deinonychus leader of both trios has long feathers on its head resembling a headdress. |
| 1261 | * {{Ninja}}: The Deinonychus have a strong ninja motif going on. Both trios were summoned in Japan in a place and a time related to ninjas. The first trio were even trained by Dr. Z to be ninjas just because he liked ninjas. Also, their fast, agile movement and great stealth are also reminiscent of one. |
| 1262 | * OddNameOut: Dr. Z's Deinonychus trio are named Dino, Dano, and Sue. Sue was apparently named after a pet turtle Dr. Z once owned. |
| 1263 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: They are not much bigger than a human, yet both Deinonychus trios are able to take down large theropods like Terry and Foolscap's Megalosaurus. |
| 1264 | * RaptorAttack: While they have some feathery headress, they're still not feathered enough, have pronated hands and their social behavior is so pronounced their special moves are based on team cooperation. |
| 1265 | * RollingAttack: One of their moves involves curling their bodies into a ball and striking their opponent. |
| 1266 | * StealthExpert: Dino, Dano, and Sue are very sneaky as they nab Ed, Zander, and Ursula without Dr. Z even noticing. They also try sneaking up on Max in a tunnel, who is completely unaware of their presence. |
| 1267 | * TerribleTrio: They are an efficient team made up of three Deinonychus. |
| 1268 | |
| 1269 | !!Megalosaurus |
| 1270 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/megalosaurus.png]] |
| 1271 | The last secret dinosaur (as well as the last natural dinosaur at all) to appear in the first season. Unlike other dinosaurs, he wasn't in a card capsule, but hidden in a book as a result from Dr. Z taking him there due to his violent and unstable behavior and eventually forgotting about him. The doctor finds his card again on Christmas, and gives it to the Alpha Trio so they can use the Megalosaurus to recover all the cards the D-Team took from them. |
| 1272 | |
| 1273 | A second Megalosaurus appears in Season 2 commanded by Foolscap during the Sengoku Period arc. |
| 1274 | ---- |
| 1275 | * 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. |
| 1276 | * BattleAura: A rainbow aura surrounds the bodies of both Megalosauruses whenever they use their powers. |
| 1277 | * GlassCannon: Both Megalosauruses appear to be very strong offensively, but have a less effective defense. The first Megalosaurus defeated Ace with no problem, but he and Foolscap's Megalosaurus were defeated from a single very strong attack from Chomp/Shear's Deinonychuses. |
| 1278 | * {{Irony}}: It is one of the first dinosaurs to ever be described as a dinosaur in the fossil record, yet it is the last new dinosaur card in Season 1 (the Black T. rex doesn't count because it is just a genetically altered Tyrannosaurus). |
| 1279 | * MindOverMatter: It is able to lift objects and opponents with its mind. Whenever it does this, a rainbow aura surrounds its body and the object/dinosaur that is being picked up. |
| 1280 | * TheUnfavourite: Unlike the other Secret dinosaurs of Season 1, Dr. Z didn't really like raising Megalosaurus because he was too violent and uncontrollable. |
| 1281 | |
| 1282 | !!Cryolophosaurus |
| 1283 | [[quoteright:179:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cryolophosaurus.png]] |
| 1284 | The last dinosaur to appear in the anime. Seth's personal dinosaur that he reveals once he betrays the Spectral Space Pirates and steals their Cosmos Stones in the final arc of the second season. Possessing ice based abilities, the Cryolophosaurus is a powerful fighter and tough even without wearing any Elemental or Spectral Armor. |
| 1285 | ---- |
| 1286 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: In the first season, Seth uses large fire-based dinosaurs like Saurophaganax and the Black T. rex in the final arc. Come Season 2, he uses a lean theropod with ice-based powers. |
| 1287 | * HarmlessFreezing: Its freezing attacks never manage to defeat any dinosaur and return them to cards, just incapacitate them via HumanPopsicle. |
| 1288 | * HumanPopsicle: Its technique Blizzard Smash manages to freeze Gigas, Armatus and Maximus into a giant wall of ice, incapacitating them from fighting further. |
| 1289 | * AnIcePerson: Cryolophosaurus uses many ice-based attacks. This may allude to the fact its fossils were found in Antarctica. |
| 1290 | * LightningBruiser: He is quick enough to dodge every attack from Gigas, Armatus, and Maximus, but he is also strong enough to push around several dinosaurs that are much bigger than him. |
| 1291 | * RightHandAttackDog: He is used as Seth's personal attack dinosaur in the final arc of the second season. |
| 1292 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's last seen knocking away the main dinosaurs as Seth retreats to the D-lab with all the Cosmos Stones. It doesn't appear more beyond that point and nothing about its state or whereabouts is ever mentioned. |
