Some, such as "[[YuUraby]]" and "[[Megazowler]]" have more down-Gito-Oh! (anime)|Yuearth 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-Giwise, Dinosaurs' play style typically revolve around using high-Oh! Duel MonstersATK 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 [[YuReptile]] type, referencing the biological connections between Reptiles and Dinosaurs in real life.

'''Dinosaur''' (Japanese: ==Themes=={{Ruby|恐style="width:100%"|きょう}}{{Rubystyle="width:50%" |竜|りゅう}} ===''Kyōryū'') is a type of monster that primarily relies on brute strength, and sometimes [[Monster EffectTCG]]s, to help a duelist prevail in a ''/''[[DuelOCG]]. 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 Instinct]]" or "[[Big Evolution Pill]]", overpowering the opponent's weaker monsters before they have a chance to defend themselves. Dinosaurs are predominantly '===* [[EARTH]]-[[AttributeBlack (series)|Black]] monsters (most of those that are or resemble Pterosaurs are * [[WINDDinomorphia]]), but the release of the "* [[JurracDinowrestler]]" Archetype has led to a surge of * [[FIREDoodle Beast]] Dinosaur-Type monsters, continued with the "* [[Evolsaur]]" archetype, "* [[Number 61: VolcasaurusEvolution Pill]]", and "* [[Pyrorex the Elemental LordJurrac]]". Dinosaur cards are most notably played by * [[King Rex (series)|King Rex Raptor]], [[Tyranno Hassleberry]], [[Scorch]] and * [[ChillsTranscendosaurus]].

Dinosaur-Type monsters are rivaled by few (including extremely powerful [[Nomi]] monsters, high-[[Level]] ; Mixed* [[Fusion MonstersBonding]], or * [[DragonsGladiator Beast]]) in terms of overwhelming brute force. They possess the first (and for a long time only and still the only non-"[[Kaiju]]") monster that completely breaks the [[Rule of 3000 ATK and DEF|rule of 3000 ATK]], "[[Super Conductor Tyranno]]style="; 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 Dinosaurvertical-Type monster from the Deck to the [[hand]]. They also possess an [[Elemental Lord]] monster, align:top"[[Pyrorex the Elemental Lord]]". 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. Dinosaurs and Dinosaur support also have a few powerful field clearing cards, most notably "[[Jurrac Meteor]]", "[[Volcanic Eruption]]", and "[[Jurrac Impact]]".|

[[Jurrac]], the first Dinosaur archetype, was released in ''[[Duel Terminal - Demon Roar God Revival!!]]'', ===''[[Rush Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!]]'', ''===* [[Duel Terminal - Dragunity of the Hurricane!!]]'', and ''[[Duel Terminal - Charge of the Genex!!]]'' in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]], while the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|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 Nouveau Riche Dinosaur-Type [[Tuners]] and [[Synchro Monsters]].

[[Evol]] is a new multi-[[Type]] archetype that contains the Dinosaur-Type "[[Evolsaur]]" monsters. The [[Reptile]]-Type "[[Evoltile]]" monsters Special Summon ('evolve into') "[[Evolsaur]]" monsters, triggering the [[Evolsaur]] effects. For example, if an "Evoltile" monster 'evolves' into "[[Evolsaur Diplo]]", it can destroy an opponent's Spell===Anime/Trap Card. The Dinosaur-Type "Evolsaur" monsters are primarily used as [[Xyz Material]]s for the [[Xyz Summon]] of Dragonmanga-Type "[[Evolzar]]" monsters. For example, "[[Evolzar Laggia]]" requires 2 [[Level 4]] Dinosaurs, and it can detach both its only===* [[Xyz MaterialDynakit]]s to negate and destroy a Spell, Trap, Normal Summon, or Special Summon.|}

One unique ==Appearance in media==The following characters use Dinosaur-Type monster, "monsters across the ''[[Tyranno Infinity]]", gains a massive 1000 ATK boost for each banished DinosaurYu-Type monster, making DinosaurGi-Type monsters viable even with the debilitating effects of "[[Macro Cosmos]]" 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 time. "[[Babycerasaurus]]" can be combined with "[[Skull LairOh!]]" to simultaneously recruit and power up "Tyranno Infinity"'' franchise.

==Playing style==Dinosaur-Type monsters have very little support that is useful at a competitive level, but the support of ;''[[Evolzar]] [[Xyz MonsterYu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]s (using "[[Rescue Rabbit]]" to make them) has helped make Dinosaurs more viable.'' "Rescue Rabbit" can Summon two Level 4 Normal Dinosaurs from the Deck to Xyz Summon either "[[Evolzar Laggia]]", which can negate the Summon of a monster or the activation of a Spell/Trap Card, or "* [[Evolzar DolkkaFrederick]]", which can negate the activation of monster effects.

";''[[Tour Guide from the Underworld]]" can also be used to make either "[[Leviair the Sea Dragon]]", "[[Number 17: Leviathan Dragon]]", "[[WindYu-Gi-Up ZenmainesOh! VRAINS]]" or "''* [[Number 20: Giga-BrilliantGeorge Gore]]".
