Dinosaur Dinosaur ( Japanese : " 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 led to a surge of FIRE Dinosaur - Type monsters , continued with the " Evolsaur " archetype , " " , and " Pyrorex the Elemental Lord " . Dinosaur cards are most notably played by Rex Raptor , Tyranno Hassleberry , Scorch and Chills . In the " Falsebound Kingdom " , Dinosaur - Type monsters are treated as Dragon - Type monsters . Playing style . 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 , " 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 " . 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 " , " 3 " , and " " . Jurracs focus on battle and low - Level Special Summons , and encompass all Dinosaur - Type Tuners and Synchro Monsters . Evol is a 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 . 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 " , " Miscellaneousaurus " , and " Spacetime Transcendence " ; such a combo can end games in one blow if used at the right time . " Babycerasaurus " or " Petiteranodon " can be combined with " Skull Lair " to simultaneously recruit and power up " Tyranno Infinity " . The release of the Dinosmasher ' s Fury Structure Deck provides and expands on two avenues of focus for Dinosaur - Type monsters in addition to their primary strategy of Summoning high - Level monsters ; generating advantage through destroying their own cards , and Normal Monster support . Both have served as downplayed plays in the past . Dino - Rabbit . The release of " Evolzar Laggia " and " Evolzar Dolkka " provided two powerful control monsters for Dinosaur - Type decks to access . The most successful of these , and the first competitive , was Dino - Rabbit . " 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 . Through the use of either " Kabazauls " or " Megalosmasher X " , the Deck can also access the " Bahamut Shark " / " Toadally Awesome " combo for further negation . " Tour Guide from the Underworld " can also be used to make either " Leviair the Sea Dragon " , ( allowing for the swift retrival of " Rescue Rabbit " ) " " , " Wind - Up Zenmaines " or " " . True King Dinosaurs . The effects of " Babycerasaurus " and " Petiteranodon " allow a player to rapidly swarm the field with Level 4 Dinosaurs if triggered reliably , which can be accomplished using the effects of the " True King " monsters ; primarily the EARTH " True King Lithosagym , the Disaster " , as destroying the EARTH " Babycerasaurus " and " Petiteranodon " will allow the effect of " Lithosagym " to be used as its strongest . The Deck ' s Field Spell Card , " Dragonic Diagram " , allows the player to destroy a card in their hand or field to search out a " True King " , thereby generating excellent advantage . The Summoned Dinosaurs can be used as Xyz Material to Xyz Summon " Evolzar Laggia and " Evolzar Dolkka " , and later used to fuel the effect of " Miscellaneousaurus " or to Special Summon the Deck ' s Dinosaur boss monster : " Ultimate Conductor Tyranno " , which can flip all monsters the opponent controls face - down , attack all monsters they control , and send face - down monsters that it battles to the Graveyard before damage calculation , while inflicting 1000 damage for each .
