'''Dinosaur''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|恐|きょう}}{{Ruby|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]]''.

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''' is a type of monster that primarily relies on brute strength, and sometimes [[Monster Effect]]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 Instinct]]" or "[[Big Evolution Pill]]", overpowering 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 "[[Jurrac]]" Archetype has led to a surge of [[FIRE]] Dinosaur-Type monsters. Dinosaur cards are most notably played by [[Rex Raptor]], [[Tyranno Hassleberry]], [[Rikuo]] and [[Kaio]].

Short of extremely powerful [[Nomi]] monsters, high-level [[Fusion Monsters]], or [[Dragon]]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.

==Appearance in media==

[[Jurrac]], the first Dinosaur archetype, was released in [[Duel Terminal - Demon Roar God Revival!!]], [[Duel Terminal - Champion of Chaos!!]], [[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]].  
The following characters use Dinosaur monsters across the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' franchise.

[[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/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 Monsters|Xyz Materials]] 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 Dinosaur-Type monster, making Dinosaur-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 Lair]]" to simultaneously recruit and power up "Tyranno Infinity".

Dinosaur-Type monsters generally have high [[ATK]] and can overpower most other Types. Dinosaur [[Beatdown]] Decks focus on swarming the field with Dinosaur-Type monsters. They Summon big beatsticks like "[[Ultimate Tyranno]]" by bypassing Tribute requirements with "[[Big Evolution Pill]]" and a combination of "[[Gilasaurus]]" and "[[Hunting Instinct]]". Another strategy focuses on quickly dispatching Dinosaur-Type monsters to the Graveyard then removing them from play (ex. "[[Survival Instinct]]") to boost "[[Tyranno Infinity]]" and move in for a quick kill, possibly using "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" as it also cripples many Decks. It is highly recommended to bring cards to disarm your opponent's defensive Spells and Traps. "Royal Decree" or "Tyrant's Temper" are cards that will help in protecting your Dinosaur-Type monsters from Trap Cards, while "[[Solidarity]]" and "[[Jurassic World]]" give your Dinosaur-Type monsters ATK boosts.
  
;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]''
+
Another Dinosaur build revolves around using "[[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]" to Normal Summon high-Level Dinosaur-Type monsters without Tributes to quickly overrun the opponent's weaker monsters and use "[[Royal Decree]]" to shut down all Trap Cards on the field. The best Dinosaur to Summon with "Mausoleum" is "[[Jurrac Titano]]". His effect makes him immune to targeting by Traps and Effect Monsters, and his ATK is second only to "[[Super Conductor Tyranno]]" among [[Dinosaur]] [[Type]] monsters.

;''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]''

Another recent method to use dinosaurs has come to be known as Rabbit-Dinosaurs, a deck which concentrates on [[Rescue Rabbit]] and using it's ability to summon level 4 normal dinosaur type monsters in order to perform a quick XyZ summon like [[Evolzar Laggia]]. This deck lacks in attack points unlike most dinosaur decks, so cards like [[Burden of the Mighty]] and [[Shrink]] are recommended.
