Dinosaur monsters are aesthetically themed after their historical namesake, as well as other prehistoric beasts like mammoths, ichthyosaurs, and pterosaurs. Some, such as "[[Uraby]]" and "[[Megazowler]]" have more down-to-earth design, while other such as "[[Miscellaneousaurus]]", and "[[Hydrogeddon]]" are more fantastical. Dinosaur monsters are predominantly [[EARTH]] or [[FIRE]], but do have members from all [[Attribute]]s in the game aside from [[DIVINE]].

Gameplay-wise, Dinosaurs' play style typically revolve around using high-ATK monsters and offensive [[Monster Effect]]s, Special Summoning high-Level Main Deck monsters, and effects that destroy friendly Dinosaurs for advantage, or advantageous effects that trigger from being destroyed by friendly cards. Due to a large number of generic Dinosaur supports, the type is also notable for allowing a great degree of hybridization between various Dinosaur themes.

Older Dinosaur supports are often also cross-supports of [[Reptile]] type, referencing the biological connections between Reptiles and Dinosaurs in real life. Some newer Dinosaur supports are cross-support with the [[Dragon]], [[Sea Serpent]] and [[Wyrm]] types; this is likely due to all four types containing the kanji character ''ryuu'' 竜 ("dragon") in Japanese.

'''Dinosaur''' monsters are a type of monster that primarily rely on brute strength, and sometimes their [[Card Effect]]s, to help a duelist prevail in a [[Duel]]. There are many high-level Dinosaur-[[Type]]s, so the general strategy for them is to [[Special Summon]] their high-level monsters as quickly and easily as possible using cards like "[[Hunting Instinct]]" or "[[Big Evolution Pill]]" to overpower the opponent's weaker monsters before they have a chance to defend themselves. Dinosaurs are predominantly [[EARTH]]-[[Attribute]] monsters (those that are or resemble Pterosaurs are [[WIND]], with exception of [[Jurrac Ptera]]), but the release of the [[Jurracs]] Archetype has lead to a surge of [[FIRE]] Dinosaurs.

Short of extremely powerful [[Nomi]] monsters, high-level [[Fusion Monsters]], or [[Dragon]]s, Dinosaurs are second to none in terms of overwhelming brute force. They possess the only monster that completely breaks the [[Rule of 3000 ATK and DEF|rule of 3000 ATK]], "[[Super Conductor Tyranno]]", their [[Field Spell Card]] [[Jurassic World]] grants a higher ATK and DEF bonus than any other for specific monster types, and they have recently been issued [[Fossil Dig]] a Spell Card that can add any Level 6 or lower Dinosaur from the Deck to the [[Hand]]. Unlike other monster types which run the risk of being useless in the hand if the deck is too top-heavy with high-level monsters, Dinosaurs have numerous options of getting around tribute requirements for summoning high-level monsters from their hand.

A lot of Dinosaur-[[Type]] monsters have high [[ATK]] like "[[Frostosaurus]]", "[[Super Conductor Tyranno]]", "[[Black Tyranno]]", "[[Super-Ancient Dinobeast]]", "[[Dark Driceratops]]", "[[Ultimate Tyranno]]", the TCG/OCG [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]] - "[[Jurrac Giganoto]], [[Jurrac Velphito]] and [[Jurrac Meteor]]".  One unique Dinosaur, [[Tyranno Infinity]], gains a massive 1000 ATK boost for each removed from play Dinosaur, making Dinosaurs viable even against the debilitating effects of an opponent using [[Macro Cosmos]] and related cards. [[Tyranno Infinity]] also works extremely well with [[Survival Instinct]], another support card.

Dinosaur [[Beatdown]] Decks focus on swarming the field with [[Dinosaur]] creatures, summoning big beat-sticks like [[Ultimate Tyranno]] by bypassing tribute requirements with [[Big Evolution Pill]], a combination of [[Gilasaurus]] and [[Hunting Instinct]] then using various power-boosting and Dinosaur-support cards. Another possible strategy focus on quickly dispatching Dinosaurs to the Graveyard then removing them from play (ex. [[Survival Instinct]]) to boost [[Tyranno Infinity]] and move in for a quick-kill. Dinosaur-type monsters are also known for their high ATK points that can overpower other deck types quickly if you play your cards right. It is highly recommended to bring cards to destroy your opponents back field. Dimensional Fissure can really help out decks with Tyranno Infinity because every card that is destroyed is removed from play, so use this to make sure your dinosaur monsters that are destroyed are removed from play, so you don't have to use any other cards.

For the card part in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories, see Dinosaur (card part).
Ultimate Conductor Tyranno
"Ultimate Conductor Tyranno", a Dinosaur monster.

Dinosaur (Japanese: 恐（きょう）竜（りゅう） Kyōryū) is a Type of Monster Card. It debuted in Vol.1 in the OCG, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in the TCG, and Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!! in Rush Duel.

Overview[edit]

Dinosaur monsters are aesthetically themed after their historical namesake, as well as other prehistoric beasts like mammoths, ichthyosaurs, and pterosaurs. Some, such as "Uraby" and "Megazowler" have more down-to-earth design, while other such as "Miscellaneousaurus", and "Hydrogeddon" are more fantastical. Dinosaur monsters are predominantly EARTH or FIRE, but do have members from all Attributes in the game aside from DIVINE.

Gameplay-wise, Dinosaurs' play style typically revolve around using high-ATK monsters and offensive Monster Effects, Special Summoning high-Level Main Deck monsters, and effects that destroy friendly Dinosaurs for advantage, or advantageous effects that trigger from being destroyed by friendly cards. Due to a large number of generic Dinosaur supports, the type is also notable for allowing a great degree of hybridization between various Dinosaur themes.

Older Dinosaur supports are often also cross-supports of Reptile type, referencing the biological connections between Reptiles and Dinosaurs in real life. Some newer Dinosaur supports are cross-support with the Dragon, Sea Serpent and Wyrm types; this is likely due to all four types containing the kanji character ryuu 竜 ("dragon") in Japanese.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom, Dinosaur monsters are lumped together with Dragon monsters, and are treated as the latter Type.
