'''Dinosaur''' is a type of monster that primarily relies on brute strength, and sometimes ; Mixed* [[Monster EffectBonding]]s, to help a duelist prevail in a * [[Duel]]. There are many high-level Dinosaur-[[Type]] monsters, so the general strategy for them is to Summon their high-Level monsters as quickly as possible using cards like "[[Hunting InstinctGladiator Beast]]| style=" or "[[Big Evolution Pill]]", overpowering the opponent's weaker monsters before they have a chance to defend themselves. Dinosaurs are predominantly [[EARTH]]vertical-[[Attribute]] monsters (those that are or resemble Pterosaurs are [[WIND]], with exception of "[[Jurrac Ptera]]align:top"), but the release of the "[[Jurrac]]" Archetype has led to a surge of [[FIRE]] |

Dinosaur-Type monsters. Dinosaur cards are most notably played by ===''[[Rex RaptorRush Duel]], ''===* [[Tyranno Hassleberry]], [[Scorch]] and [[ChillsNouveau Riche Dinosaur]].

Short of extremely powerful [[Nomi]] monsters, high===Anime/manga-level [[Fusion Monsters]], or only===* [[DragonDynakit]]s, Dinosaur-Type monsters 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 a powerful searcher, "[[Fossil Dig]]", a Spell Card that can add any Level 6 or lower Dinosaur-Type monster from the Deck to the [[hand]]. In addition, Dinosaurs can search monsters through "[[Miracle Jurassic Egg]]", which builds up counters to be Tributed for a big Dinosaur-Type monster, or "[[Babycerasaurus]]", which combos well with "[[Torrential Tribute]]" or "[[Dark Hole]]". Unlike other Monster Types in which high-Level monsters risk being useless in the hand, Dinosaur-Type monsters have numerous options for getting around Tribute requirements that make high-Level monsters the bread and butter of the Deck.}

[[Jurrac]], ==Appearance in media==The following characters use Dinosaur monsters across the first Dinosaur archetype, was released in ''[[Duel Terminal Yu- Demon Roar God Revival!!]], [[Duel Terminal Gi- Champion of Chaos!Oh!]], [[Duel Terminal - Dragunity of the Hurricane]], and [[Duel Terminal - Charge of the Genex]] in the [[OCG]], while the [[TCG]] received them in in [[Hidden Arsenal 2]], [[Hidden Arsenal 3|3]], and [[Hidden Arsenal 4: Trishula’s Triumph|4]]. Jurracs focus on battle and low-Level Special Summons, and encompass all Dinosaur-Type [[Tuners]] and [[Synchro Monsters]]'' franchise.

[[Evol]] is a new multi-[[Type]] archetype that contains the Dinosaur-Type {| style="width:100%"[[Evolsaur]]| style=" monsters. The [[Reptile]]vertical-Type align:top"|===Manga===;''[[Evoltile]]" monsters Special Summon Yu-Gi-Oh! ('evolve into'manga) "[[Evolsaur|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]" monsters, triggering the [[Evolsaur]] effects. For example, if an "Evoltile" monster 'evolves' into "* [[Evolsaur Diplo]]", it can destroy an opponent's Spell/Trap Card. The Dinosaur-Type "Evolsaur" monsters are primarily used as [[Xyz Material]]s for the [[Xyz Summon]] of Dragon-Type "[[Evolzar]]" monsters. For example,"[[Evolzar Laggia]]" requires 2 [[Level 4]] Dinosaurs, and it can detach both its [[Xyz Material MonstersRyuzaki (manga)|Xyz MaterialsDinosaur Ryuzaki]] to negate and destroy a Spell, Trap, Normal Summon, or Special Summon.

One unique Dinosaur-Type monster, ";''[[Tyranno Infinity]]", gains a massive 1000 ATK boost for each banished DinosaurYu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|Yu-Type monster, making DinosaurGi-Type monsters viable even with the debilitating effects of "[[Macro CosmosOh! GX]]" and related cards. "''* [[Tyranno Infinity]]" also works extremely well with "[[Survival Instinct]]"; the two can end games in one blow if used at the right timeMr. "[[BabycerasaurusRyuga]]" can be combined with "[[Skull Lair]]" to simultaneously recruit and power up "Tyranno Infinity".

==Playing Style==Dinosaur-Type monsters have very few support that puts them at a competitive level, however with recent releases of the ;''[[EvolzarYu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]] ''* [[Xyz Summon|XyzScorch]] and * [[Rescue RabbitChills]] the type has started to show more potential being the best deck of the Format.

With Rescue Rabbit you can summon two Normal Dinosaurs from your deck to XYZ into either ;''[[Evolzar LaggiaYu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]] if you want to negate any card your opponent plays or ''* [[Evolzar DolkkaFrederick]] if you're having trouble with Monster Effects.

You can also use [[Tour Guide from the Underworld]] to make either ;''[[Leviair the Sea Dragon]] if you want to make another [[Evolzar]] [[Xyz Summon|Xyz]], [[Number 17: Leviathan Dragon]] if you need to beatstick, [[WindYu-Up Zenmaines]] if you need to destroy a troublesome card or [[Number 20: GigaGi-BrilliantOh! VRAINS]] if you want to boost your ''* [[Xyz MonsterGeorge Gore]]s' attack.

Dino Rabbit deck is further more dangerous when combined with Defensive ;''[[Spell]] and [[Trap]] such as [[Forbidden LanceYu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]] and [[Fiendish Chain]]. ===Monster Cards===''* [[Babycerasaurus]]* [[Black Ptera]]* [[Black Veloci]]* [[Dark Driceratops]]* [[Destroyersaurus]]* [[Frostosaurus]]* [[Gilasaurus]]* [[Hydrogeddon]]* [[Hyper Hammerhead]]* [[Miracle Jurassic Egg]]* [[Sabersaurus]]* [[Sauropod Brachion]]* [[Super-Ancient DinobeastProfessor Diggs]]* [[Tyranno InfinityTracker]]
