'''Dinosaur''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|恐|きょう}}{{Ruby|竜|りゅう}} ''Kyōryū'') 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 (most of those that are or resemble Pterosaurs are [[WIND]]), but the release of the "[[Jurrac]]" Archetype has led to a surge of [[FIRE]] Dinosaur-Type monsters, continued with the "[[Evolsaur]]" archetype, "[[Number 61: Volcasaurus]]", and "[[Pyrorex the Elemental Lord]]". Dinosaur cards are most notably played by [[Rex Raptor]], [[Tyranno Hassleberry]], [[Scorch]] and [[Chills]].
 +
 
 +
Dinosaur-Type monsters are rivaled by few (including extremely powerful [[Nomi]] monsters, high-[[Level]] [[Fusion Monsters]], or [[Dragons]]) 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]]"; 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]]. They also possess an [[Elemental Lord]] monster, "[[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]]".
  
'''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]]''.
+
[[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 [[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 Dinosaur-Type [[Tuners]] and [[Synchro Monsters]].  
  
==Overview==
+
[[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]]s to negate and destroy a Spell, Trap, Normal Summon, or Special Summon.
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.
+
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".
  
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 the ''[[Falsebound Kingdom]]'', Dinosaur-Type monsters are treated as [[Dragon]]-Type monsters.
  
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom]]'', Dinosaur monsters are lumped together with [[Dragon]] monsters, and are treated as the latter Type.

Dinosaur-Type monsters have very little support that is useful at a competitive level, but the support of [[Evolzar]] [[Xyz Monster]]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 Dolkka]]", 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]]", "[[Wind-Up Zenmaines]]" or "[[Number 20: Giga-Brilliant]]".
