3	----
4	!!This episode contains examples of the following Tropes:
5	* AngryFistShake: Aside from the usual one from Dan at the beginning, we get one from the dinosaur when Dan gets his revenge by mailing her his car repair bill.
6	* ArbitrarySkepticism: Chris refuses to believe that Dan could have seen a real dinosaur, despite having previously encountered plenty of other equally weird entities over the course of the show.
7	* BlatantLies: Elise, in cover identities as a geologist and an old lady, claim that the recent mini quakes and the incident at the museum were caused by tectonic activity and teenagers respectively. The television anchor interviewing her the two separate times seems skeptical of it.
8	* ContinuityNod: Possibly to "Dan Vs. The Family Thanksgiving", Ben mentions that his parents are house hunting, due to Dan [[spoiler: burning it down at the end of the episode.]]
9	* DirtyCoward: Ben, defied later on in the story.
10	* DisneyDeath: Chris has one.
11	* DistaffCounterpart: Dan believes that the dinosaur is this to him.
12	* EveryoneHasStandards: Dan [[PetTheDog can't bring himself to kill the dinosaur]] because he identifies with its laziness, gluttony, and misanthropy.
13	* FantasticVoyagePlot: "Who wants to know where I've been?"
14	* GettingEatenIsHarmless: For Chris specifically. He manages to exit the dinosaur the... normal way for matter to leave the body. Though any dogs may have been unfortunate...
15	* GoneHorriblyRight: The dinosaur.
16	* {{Jerkass}}: Ben chickens out and doesn’t fire the third arrow at the dinosaur, which causes the dinosaur to eat Chris. However, he does make for it.
17	* SecretIngredient: The secret ingredient to creating a dinosaur was corn syrup.
18	* ShoutOut: The government have a box that contains "[[ComicBook/SpiderMan someone who shouldn't exist, he's half spider, half man, and he fights crime]]."
19	* SkywardScream: Done by Dan and the dinosaur at the end.
