* SwallowedWhole: One of ''Beelzebufo's'' attack animations has it shoot its OverlyLongTongue at the target and stick to it before pulling the opponent [[JustEatHim into its waiting mouth]], causing the screen to turn dark and be covered in digestive juices before being spat out.

* MovesetClone: Dinosaurs that share a similar body plan will usually share move animations, though the actual abilities will vary. Hybrids, meanwhile, usually have the same animations as one of their parent creatures. There are some exceptions to this; the ''Indominus rex'' uses the ''large spinosaur'' animations. Meanwhile the ''Indoraptor'', ''Purrolyth'', ''Purutaurus'', and ''Indotaurus'' all share a completely unique animation set that no one else has, and the ''Scorpios rex'' has unique animations too.

* NoSell: Happens if you try to do something a creature is 100% resistant to, such as attempting to Distract a ''Velociraptor'' or Stun an ''Indominus.''

* KingOfTheDinosaurs: Wouldn't be a dinosaur game without ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', who has two different [=GENs=] with many different hybrids, in addition to Rexy herself receiving a separate creature. The first Apex introduced to the game, ''Mortem rex'', is described as a modified, altered ''rex''.

** The Sirius skin for ''Aenocyonyx'' is a clear reference to [[spoiler: [[Literature/HarryPotter Sirius Black's Animagus form]]]].

* ShoutOut: A few to prehistoric media outside the Jurassic Park franchise.

** The description for ''Meiolania'' bizarrely claims it to be a very distant member of the ankylosauridae family[[note]]The correct wording is that it evolved convergently with the ankylosaurids, meaning that it took on similar features despite being separated by considerable temporal and spatial distance as well as not being related at all[[/note]], while ''Argentinosaurus'' is described as a relative of the ''Apatosaurus''(and even shares animations with it) despite being more upright and forwards-oriented in its body shape, like a beefed up ''Brachiosaurus''.
** Speaking of ''Meiolania'', it and ''Carbonemys'' look [[InformedSpecies little like their real life counterparts]], ''Carbonemys'' especially. In reality they were vertically-flattened with an almost circular appearance, adapted for an amphibious or aquatic life style, but here they look and behave a lot like tortoises. And while ''Carbonemys'' is [[ShownTheirWork correctly depicted as a fish eater]], ''Meiolania'', an herbivorous turtle, is incorrectly shown as one too.

* CanisMajor: Update 2.20 introduced the famous dire wolf[[note]]Although it is not within the proper ''Canis'' genus[[/note]], which contributes to ''Aenocyonyx'' when fused with ''Thylaconyx''. This superhybrid can then be fused with ''Indoraptor'' GEN 2 for the ''Indolycan''.

* DiscOneNuke: The ''Velociraptor'' is the first creature you will ever obtain, and spawns everywhere all the time. With enough dedication and resources, it can easily become a devastating GlassCannon. Plus, it is essential in creating the ''Indominus rex'' and its two superhybrids (and apex one).

* GoldColoredSuperiority: Epic creatures, the rarest non-hybrids (not counting the Legendary ''Parasaurolophus lux'' and Rexy) are coded with a yellow aura on the map and a yellow border on their icons. Apex creatures, enhanced dinosaurs that are among the most powerful in the game and are only obtainable through their extremely hard boss fights or by complex fusion, have a black and gold aura and border instead.

* HealingBoss: Some of the Raid bosses having healing abilities that will either heal themselves, whichever of their two [[{{Mooks}} Minions]] has the lowest health, or both Minions and the Boss themselves, and it's a mechanic the 4 players taking on the Raid will have to account for since it usually gets used on the second or third turns of each round in a Raid, although some actually have a healing ability that's a counter and thus only applies if they're dealt direct damage.. Currently, the only Bosses with some variant of a healing ability are as follows:
** For the Apex (the strongest rarity in the game) Bosses, it's just Hadros Lux and [[TheGreatSerpent Hydra Boa]]. Hydra Boa could only heal itself though, and it's an effect that's applied after dealing damage to one of the players, while Hadros Lux can heal a surviving Minion if one's still kicking, but will otherwise heal itself as well.
** For the Uniques, there's only Parasauthops, although the former [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile Grypolyth]] Boss also had a healing ability. Parasauthops heals itself regardless and its Minions if one or both of them are still up, while Grypolyth's healing mechanic is similar to Hadros Lux's.
** Among the Legendaries, Fukuimimus is the only current one with healing abilities. Uniquely for its particular raid though, it will heal either a surviving Minion or itself (like Hadros and Grypolyth), but the ability itself is also an attack that targets the player with lowest health, although unlike Hydra Boa the damage is dealt after the healing effect is applied. The former Legendary Raid Bosses Mammotherium and Megalosuchus also had healing abilities, although Mammotherium could only heal itself.
** Lastly, there's the Epic boss Postimetrodon, former Epic boss Sinoceratops, and Rare bosses Meiolania and Bajadasaurus, all of whom are faced without Minions and thus only heal themselves.

** Halloween has "spooky" creatures. The 2020 event was the formal debut of ''Acrocanthosaurus'', appropriately colored black and red.

* RaptorAttack: ''Utahraptor'', ''Pyroraptor'', ''Deinonychus'', ''Dakotaraptor'', ''Troodon'' and of course ''Velociraptor''. The first four are depicted with wings and body feathers, while the last two are scaly in typical ''Jurassic Park/Jurassic World'' fashion. Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo can also be encountered and used in the game, as can the ''Atrociraptors'' Ghost, Red, and Tiger. And there's various hybrids that can be made using dromeosaur DNA.
* RhinoRampage: Update 1.7 introduced the Woolly Rhino(''Coelodonta''), ''Elasmotherium'', and the brontothere ''Brontotherium'' [[ScienceMarchesOn (actually ]] ''[[ScienceMarchesOn Megacerops]]''[[ScienceMarchesOn )]]. Each of course has their respective hybrids.

** For the first time in 6 years, Arthropods now finally have a representative in the roster just in time for the game's HalloweenEpisode, with those representatives being [[ScaryScorpions a trio of scorpions]] (the Epic ''Pulmonoscorpios'', the Unique superhybrid ''Dsungascorpios'', and Apex ''Alacranix''.

* AnimalsNotToScale: Like with its predecessors, animals share animations to save memory, and this creates a few sizing problems. The sauropods ''Amargasaurus'', ''Apatosaurus'', and ''Argentinosaurus'' are all the same size despite ''Amargasaurus'' being a fraction of the other two, while ''Alanqa'' is positively gigantic like ''Quetzalcoatlus'' even though it was one of the smaller azhdarchids. At least this time courtesy of having a new animation set the ''Carnotaurus'' and its relatives are smaller than a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' like they should be. In a hilarious example, ''Arctodus'' and the bear hybrids are ''comically'' small, no bigger than a ''Dilophosaurus'', which really cuts into their intimmidation factor a bit.

** With the exception of a few "proximity spawn" creatures that only appear when you get close enough[[note]]''Amphicyon'', ''Oviraptor'', ''Gorgonops'', ''Megistotherium'', Tiger, ''Parasaurolophus lux'', and Rexy[[/note]], creatures will spawn just about anywhere on the map, so players will be able to tell what creatures have spawned in their vicinity as opposed to randomly walking around and trying to figure out what’s nearby.

* PantheraAwesome: ''Smilodon'' showed up in update 1.7 as the first Epic mammal added into the game. ''Thylacoleo'', dubbed the Marsupial Lion, joined in the same update. ''Smilodon'' is a Cunning that specializes in dodging hits while ignoring other dodgers and striking with its powerful Precise Pounce, while the Marsupial Lion uses Rending attacks along with a ridiculous crit chance to shred at bulky foes, making both it and its hybrid ''Thylacotator'' some of the best rending attackers in raids.

* PowerGlows: Apex creatures, the most powerful in the game, tend to have glowing body parts, with the exception of ''Gorgotrebax'' and ''Arctovasilas'' who instead have an icy haze. ''Mortem rex'' has glowing spines, ''[[MeaningfulName Hadros lux]]'' [[MeaningfulName and]] ''[[MeaningfulName Ankylos lux]]'' have glowing blue and purple markings respectively, ''Ceramagnus'' has iridescent feathers, ''Refrenantem'' and ''Haast maximus'' have glowing lava-like markings, ''Hydra Boa'' has thick and bright scales, ''Indonemys'' has [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing eyes]], and ''Imperatosuchus'' has a glowing purple maw, especially its tongue. ''Alacranix'' has glowing red spikes during the day, but at night its whole body is overtaken by a cyan glow.

* TheGreatSerpent: The Apex and Unique Raid bosses Hydra Boa and Troodoboa are large enough that even when coiled they stretch the entire width of the Jurassic World main thoroughfare and still look the giant sauropods like Brachiosaurus in the eye. Their playable versions while significantly smaller, are still the largest non-dinosaur creatures in the game, alongside the other snake hybrids Spinoconstrictor and Dilophoboa. Fittingly, this is due to them all sharing the same rig and animations made for the massive Titanoboa and Titanoboa Gen 2, the latter of which is needed to hybridize and level up Troodoboa, and the former needed to hybridize and level up both Dilophoboa and Spinoconstrictor.

* DiscOneNuke: The ''Velociraptor'' is the first creature you will ever obtain, and spawns everywhere all the time. With enough dedication and resources, it can easily become a devastating GlassCannon. Plus, it is essential in creating the ''Indominus rex'' and its two superhybrids.

** With the exception of a few "proximity spawn" creatures that only appear when you get close enough[[note]]''Amphicyon'', ''Oviraptor'', ''Gorgonops'', ''Megistotherium'', and ''Parasaurolophus lux''[[/note]], creatures will spawn just about anywhere on the map, so players will be able to tell what creatures have spawned in their vicinity as opposed to randomly walking around and trying to figure out what’s nearby.

** The dinosaurs with wings all have their pennaceous feathers ending at the wrist rather than at the tip of the second digit, with many appearing to have hair like feathers covering their bodies rather than bird like contour feathers.
** Many of the paravian dinosaurs do not have their third and second fingers joined in a syndactyl appearance which is very likely to have been the case in life due to their close relationship to birds.

** ''Miragaia'' has a neck about as long as those of the other stegosaurs, when this genus is known for having a ''very'' long neck.
** ''Postosuchus'' is depicted as a quadruped again, when the real animal is bipedal like a theropod.

* CriticalHitClass: Critical hits increase damage dealt by 25%. Not all creatures have the same base crit chance of 5%, however; many, especially MightyGlacier bruisers like ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' and ''Ophiacodon'', have much more increased crit chances, as high as ''40%'' at base. Such chances of landing critical hits can be buffed and nerfed accordingly by various attacks.

* PowerGlows: Apex creatures, the most powerful in the game, tend to have glowing body parts, with the exception of ''Gorgotrebax'' and ''Arctovasilas'' who instead have an icy haze. ''Mortem rex'' has glowing spines, ''[[MeaningfulName Hadros lux]]'' [[MeaningfulName and]] ''[[MeaningfulName Ankylos lux]]'' have glowing blue and purple markings respectively, ''Ceramagnus'' has iridescent feathers, ''Refrenantem'' and ''Haast maximus'' have glowing lava-like markings, ''Hydra Boa'' has thick and bright scales, and ''Imperatosuchus'' has a glowing purple maw, especially its tongue.

* RaptorAttack: ''Utahraptor'', ''Pyroraptor'', ''Deinonychus'', ''Dakotaraptor'', ''Troodon'' and of course ''Velociraptor''. The first four are depicted with wings and body feathers, while the last two are scaly in typical ''Jurassic Park/Jurassic World'' fashion. Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo can also be encountered and used in the game. And there's various hybrids that can be made using dromeosaur DNA.

* UniquenessDecay: Originally, the Apex rarity was reserved only for creatures that were available only through extremely difficult raids(one on each day). However, this changed with the introduction of the eighth Apex, ''Arctovasilas'', who instead is obtained by fusing the Legendary ''Arctalces'' with the Unique ''Testacornibus'', followed by ''Ankylos lux'' the next update formed by fusing ''Ankylomoloch'' and ''Diorajasaur'', again a Legendary and a Unique respectively. The original seven Apexes have not followed suit with this, nor has ''Imperatosuchus'', a Raid-exclusive Apex released after ''Ankylos lux''.
* VictoriousRoar: The victory animations for most of the animals include them either roaring or screeching. Notably, unlike other large theropods who share the same animations, the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' GEN 1, which is obviously intended to resemble Rexy, uses her famous franchise-wide roar.

* UnevenHybrid: Some superhybrids resemble this tropes, with more dominant genes taking over and recessive DNA becoming vestigial or straight-up lost between fusions.

* StockDinosaurs: Most of the famous genera that appeared in the films and novels also appears here. Strangely, some stock species commonly seen in the franchise(especially previous games) like ''Ceratosaurus'' aren't present in the game (though it's safe to assume they will also be eventually added).

* TurtlePower: ''Carbonemys'' was added as an obtainable creature in update 1.9, and has one turtle hybrid, ''Carbotoceratops'', which is a component in the superhybrid ''Testacornibus''. ''Meiolania'' was added in a later update, with two powerful Unique superhybrids: ''Entelolania'' and ''Mammolania''. Turtles are ''the'' de facto StoneWall creatures, with tremendous Health and Armor but very little of anything else...unless they use their powerful Devastation attack, which does '''triple''' Precise damage.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: There's more than a few, like the tyrannosaur ''Lythronax'', crocodile ''Gryposuchus'', and pterosaur ''Arambourgiania''. For many of them, this is their first time appearing in a video game, let alone any sort of popular media.

** While many theropods are commendably feathered, they all possess the pronated wrists that were made common in the movies, and the ''Troodon''[[note]]Which, by the way, might not even exist considering the fragmentary remains associated with it[[/note]] is curiously featherless, despite ''Deinonychus'' and ''Dakotaraptor'' possessing extensive plumage and being released a few updates before and after respectively.

* RaptorAttack: ''Utahraptor'', ''Pyroraptor'', ''Deinonychus'', ''Dakotaraptor'', ''Troodon'' and of course ''Velociraptor''. The first four are correctly shown feathered, while the last two are scaly in typical ''Jurassic Park/Jurassic World'' fashion. Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo can also be encountered and used in the game. And there's various hybrids that can be made using dromeosaur DNA.

** While ''Velociraptor'' still looks like the RaptorAttack that the franchise made famous, along with ''Gallimimus'' and ''Troodon'', many other theropods such as the dromaeosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and oviraptorids are accurately (and ''beautifully'') feathered. Even ''Lythronax'' has a moderate coat of fluff.

* PantheraAwesome: ''Smilodon'' showed up in update 1.7 as the first Epic mammal added into the game. ''Thylacoleo'', dubbed the Marsupial Lion, joined in the same update. ''Smilodon'' is a Cunning that specializes in dodging hits while ignoring other dodgers and striking with its powerful Precise Pounce, while the Marsupial Lion uses Rending attacks along with a ridiculous crit chance to shred at bulky foes.

* CrutchCharacter: The Rare and Epic Bosses. During the early game meta, they're the easiest ([[WakeUpCallBoss but by no means easy when you're not in a group]] due to the boss' exclusive LevelCap) way to grind for Rare and Epic DNA (especially when they're hybrids) without waiting for a specific time of week when they're available on the weekly Featured Creature events (typically Fridays and Saturdays) or using microtransactions, but once the player reaches a certain level or skill where they can consistently get over 70 rare/Epic DNA per attempt, they become more of practice warmups for legendary bosses and onward.
