"Dinowrestler" (ダイナレスラー Dainaresurā) is an archetype of Dinosaur monsters used by George Gore in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime. Almost all members of this archetype are EARTH monsters with 0 DEF.
Design
Appearance
"Dinowrestler" monsters are anthropomorphic prehistoric reptiles; primarily dinosaurs. The "Dinowrestlers" that are based on dinosaurs are EARTH, while the WIND "Capaptera" is based on a pterosaur.
Etymology
The name of this archetype is a portmanteau of "Dinosaur" and "wrestler". "Dino" means "terrible" in Greek, so "Dinowrestler" can be translated as "terrible wrestler". This archetype's monster names are portmanteaus of prehistoric animals and martial arts (eg. Dinowrestler Capoeiraptor is derived from "Velociraptor" and "capoeira".)
Members
Playing style
"Dinowrestler" monsters have effects focused on battle; their support cards often increase their ATK and prevent their destruction. The archetype also focuses on uninterrupted one-on-one battles through the effects of "Dinowrestler King T Wrextle" and "World Dino Wrestling". Many of their effects can be triggered if the opponent controls more monsters than the player, creating a more even number of monsters on both players fields.
