Because dinosaurs that can talk just wasn't extreme enough.
Extreme Dinosaurs is a show, from the creators of the rather similar
Street Sharks, about four dinosaurs taken from prehistoric times and turned into
Animal Superheroes so they could be used as an alien overlord's minions to conquer a planet from
Another Dimension. (Really.) You can pretty much tell
everything you need to know about it from the title.
- Action Prologue: First episode, "Out of Time"
- Adult Child: Haxx and Spittor. Well, mostly Haxx. Haxx believes in Santa Claus and tried to behave himself so he could get presents for Christmas. He was actually the only one on his team with a Christmas spirit.
- Always Chaotic Evil: Raptors (as a species, not only Bad Rap, Spittor, and Haxx).
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Raptors, in Episode "Tiptoe through the Tulips".
- Badass Normal: Bad Rap, given that his Wave Motion Gun was broken in the first episode, relies mostly on his teeth and the Villain Ball.
- Big Eater
- The Big Guy: Arguably all of the dinosaur characters in certain ways, but more specifically Spike.
- Butt Monkey: Haxx, so many times. Being used as a guinea pig to test the Jurassic Flu virus is just top of the list. In fact, he's usually the first one to be hit, defeated or seperated from the fray. Even his own team mates could be rather firm towards him most of the time. It's usually due to his clumsiness and him being the least smart one.
- Card-Carrying Villain: The Raptors, especially Bad Rap.
- Catch Phrase: "Cretaceous!", "Let's Fossilise'em!", "Let's Carnivate'em!" (We shudder to think what the last one involves.)
- Cool and Unusual Punishment:
Bad Rap: "Do as I say, or I'll pickle your head in the hottest chili sauce I can find."
