Dinosaur Man

"NYEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!"~ Dinosaur Man's catchphrase.Dinosaur Man is a reptilian Mutant from the Monster World who occasionally visits the surface world to hang out with other strange beings. He is a reoccurring character in the Terrachaoverse series.
Tier: 7-B
== Appearance ==
Dinosaur Man is a humanoid monster with green reptilian skin growing over his human skin. In the middle of his chest resides a set of yellow scales that act as armor. However, this part always appears to be open. He also has a tail with two red spikes & one yellow spike. His head resembles the MonsterVerse incarnation of Godzilla, & if you look closely, he has some dark hair growing on the back of his head. This, accompanied by how much skin he shows, indicates that he has plenty of Human DNA in his genetic composition.
== History ==
=== Meeting of Mutants ===
Little is known about Dinosaur Man's past, but what is known is that he is a mutation that spawned from the Chernobyl Disaster of 1986, along with several other Mutants in the Terrachaoverse. He would enter the Monster World shortly afterwards, making it his home. At some point in time, he learned how to play noseflute thanks to the High Priest Not to Be Described.
Dinosaur Man would meet Jack Jarren sometime years later, & the two would team up on several occasions to obtain radiation to satisfy their hunger. When Dinosaur Man became the way he is today, he found himself not only craving meat, but nuclear waste as well. Jack found himself in a similar situation, so it was only logical for them to team up.
=== Radioactive Quest ===
On June 28th, 2016, Dinosaur Man & Jack went to the Ledda Residence because they were able to sense the presence of nuclear waste within the house. Using a Warp Zone to enter the basement, he & Jack would scavenge any radiation they could find. A few other Mutants would exit the portal, too, but they would leave after Dinosaur Man scared them away, wanting the radiation all for himself & Jack. This caught the attention of Imhotep, who alerted Almighty Tallest Daniel Ledda of "a bunch of weirdos in the basement". Dan paired up Imhotep with Toy-Toy Ninja Man, ordering them to vacate the premises of any Mutants present. Toy-Toy Ninja Man encountered Dinosaur Man in the boiler room. As the abominable hybrid would introduce himself, he explained that he was taking his supplements, lifting up a large container of radioactive waste. Toy-Toy Ninja Man exclaimed that he was not authorized to take that, but Dinosaur Man roared at him & ran away. The two engaged in a chase that would continue outside, leaving Dinosaur Man with only one option: use the Warp Zone in the well to escape into the Monster World. Upon entering & sealing the portal, Toy-Toy Ninja Man couldn't even budge the well's opening. Dinosaur Man had successfully stole the radiation, & Jack would follow suit after seemingly becoming friends with Imhotep.
Over the summer, Dan would take note of Jack & Dinosaur Man's abilities, even going so far as recruiting Jack into the Irken Empire. As for Dinosaur Man, Dan would allow him to enter the house so long as he doesn't steal anything anymore. Dan understood that being a scavenger could only get those two so far, so offering them refuge in his house could benefit them.
=== Battle Against the Yellow King ===
Dinosaur Man would return on August 3rd, where he was goofing around with Jack, Imhotep, & Mecha-Hairy Harry. Bagwis interrupted their fun, as Imhotep would introduce the imperial janitor to his monster friends. Bagwis would leave, but only to be driven insane by none other than the God of Insanity, King Hastur. Hastur would enter the office, where Mecha-Hairy Harry would charge at the Great Old One head-on, only to be turned into a pile of gravel. Dinosaur Man let out a furious roar of anger, which prompted Hastur to turn his hand into a tentacle & strangle Dinosaur Man. After Hastur crushed Dinosaur Man's windpipe & forced him to the ground, Jack would fire his Gamma Rays at Hastur, who counterattacked with a telekinetic push. Hastur would leave after sharing a few words with Imhotep, who made sure everyone else was okay before attending to Bagwis.
The death of Mecha-Hairy Harry had left a permanent mark on his fellow monster friends. Because of this, Dinosaur Man had officially joined the Irken Empire so that one day he could lay vengeance on the Yellow King.
=== Goofy Ahh Dinosaur ===
Dinosaur Man would reappear on March 17th, 2017, where he would celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Jungle Man, Drowzon I, Cyclome, & Lord Claudius Ko'Al. After Dinosaur Man, Jungle Man, & Drowzon were done playing their music, Dinosaur Man would prompt Jungle Man to locate a container of nuts that could play the theme song from The Nutshack. Upon doing to, Jungle Man opened it slowly, causing it to release said theme song, but with blaring loud audio. Dinosaur Man was pleased. Later on, he & the others, except for Claudius, would get crunk & embark on a quest to search for a Leprechaun & find a pot of gold. However, their quest did not succeed, as it was too cold outside to venture any further.
On August 31st, Dinosaur Man was spotted by Sir Rob Oftolenov, who witnessed the reptilian mutation being chased by the Demon of Gluttony, Count Maluss. The reason for the two beings chasing each other is unknown, but Mal was angry at him for something.
When Dan was giving an update video on December 3rd, Jungle Man interrupted Dan's viewing of My Little Pony: The Movie. They would make strange noises to each other, & for a quick second, Dinosaur Man fused with Jungle Man just to shout his catchphrase. The fusion was severed right before Kettle-Head knocked out Jungle Man.
At an unknown point in time, Dinosaur Man stole three of Frogman's fish.
On December 15th, Dinosaur Man, Jungle Man, & Sdrawkcab were goofing around in the Room Where Time is Not. This caught the attention of Santa Maria, who was visiting the Ledda Residence & was told of something weird going on in the bathroom upstairs. When Santa opened the door, the three weirdos were caught by surprise, with Dinosaur Man changing his dialogue from "NYEEEEEEEES" to "NOOOOOOOOO". Santa would quickly close the door without a word, leaving the three to act weird in peace.
=== Discovering & Protecting Artifacts of Power ===
On January 28th, 2018, Dinosaur Man accompanied Dan, Claudius, & Sans out in Dan's front yard during the January Thaw. Because of the higher temperatures, there was a pond forming next to the house, & Dinosaur Man walked through it, as the cold water somewhat soothed him. Unexpectedly, he found an unusually large key, & proceeded to ask if anyone knew why it was there. Dan summoned Keycorr to analyze the key, & was told that he needed to keep it safe (super-safe, mind you). Dinosaur Man agreed to this. Dan speculated that it could've come from outer space, & Dinosaur Man roared at the sky, being reminded of the Unspeakable One.
On September 19th, Dinosaur Man was tasked with guarding the Infinity Gauntlet while Dan was at college. Two days later, he, alongside Vabarish, Imhotep, & Vendu were invited to hang out at Dan's house as a thanks for protecting his godly gauntlet. After enjoying his lunch, Dinosaur Man went outside to play with one of Dan's dogs. Meanwhile on the inside, Imhotep was scared away by Dan's painting of President Valak, evident by the Bishop Bullwinkle music playing in the background. Dinosaur Man heard the commotion & looked up at the window of Dan's bedroom. He then climbed up the house & went in Dan's room through the window. Dan then asked Dinosaur Man if he thought his painting was bad, to which he said no & quickly jumped out the window, as he was also frightened by the demonic painting.
Dinosaur Man was spared during the End of the World on December 7th, & his memories were presumably wiped after the planet was repaired.
=== Traveling & Stopping Travelers ===
On March 9th, 2019, Dinosaur Man teleported to a hotel in Connecticut, as he was tracing Jack & Imhotep's power signatures & wanted to hang out with them. Jack used his scouter to tell Dan about this, as he would also be sharing this hotel room with them later on. As they lounged about, Imhotep explained to Jack about the High Priest Not to Be Described, including how Dinosaur Man got his flute playing skills from him. Later that night, Dan came back to the hotel & saw Dinosaur Man perched atop a nightstand like a gargoyle. He ordered him to sleep elsewhere, as that would be too weird of a spot considering it was between two beds. Dinosaur Man reluctantly complied & crawled to the bathroom, where he would sleep in the shower. The next morning, he used said shower before teleporting away.
Dinosaur Man would not come back to the surface world until January 21st, 2022, where he appeared through Emperor Dan's basement Warp Zone to get Dirty Dan out of his house. Somewhere between this & Dinosaur Man's last visit to the surface world is when these two got acquainted. Dirty Dan's basement looked pretty much identical to Emperor Dan's, & he was under the impression he was in the right universe, but Dinosaur Man interrupted his food review to tell him he was in the wrong dimension. Sdrawkcab was also present, demanding him to leave. Dinosaur Man then made way for the Almighty Tallest to come down & properly order his Variant to leave through an exchange of lightning attacks. Dirty Dan then left with haste, but left his food behind, which Dinosaur Man gobbled up.
== Personality ==
Dinosaur Man is very strange person, constantly uttering the word "yes". He also has been seen beating his chest & rubbing it for reasons unknown. He is known to be territorial, as any dinosaur should be, taking his possessions very seriously. This is evident when he refused to give the nuclear waste he stole back to Toy-Toy Ninja Man, roaring at him & running away. His temper showed even more so when Hastur killed Mecha-Hairy Harry right in front of him, causing him to roar in anger. But he can sometimes keep his negative feelings reserved, as he can tolerate Dirty Dan's existence. Generally speaking, though, Dinosaur Man is a very goofy character, taking on a liking to dank memes & other types of tomfoolery. He also has an appreciation for music, as he likes to play the flute with his nostrils.
== Powers & Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
Mutant Strength: Dinosaur Man's mutations have made him incredibly strong. While he has not shown much combative prowess in the series so far, it is known that his power level is comparable to how Imhotep's was before 2021.
Mutant Speed: Dinosaur Man has shown that he is quite fast on his feet, able to outrun Count Maluss & even Toy-Toy Ninja Man. His top speed should be in the hypersonic range. 
Durability: Dinosaur Man's mutations made him incredible durable, tough enough to withstand the destruction of an entire city. He even recovered from getting strangulated by Hastur in a weaker avatar.
Regeneration: Dinosaur Man has low-mid levels of regeneration, able to heal from Hastur crushing his windpipe. He is able to regrow severed limbs, as well, an ability that unmutated reptiles share.
=== Special Powers ===
Power Sensing: Dinosaur Man is able to detect the power levels/signatures of other beings, which is how he knew where to teleport in Hotel of Shenanigans 4.
Radiokinesis: Dinosaur Man can manipulate radiation, as it's the source of his power & mutations. He can feed off of nuclear waste & is unharmed by its normally lethal effects.
* Thermal Nuke Breath: In a deleted scene from Monsters Galore, Dinosaur Man would've shown the ability to breathe radioactive flames from his mouth. A casual usage of this power could turn an average Human into ashes, & as the name implies, could be as destructive as a nuclear explosion when amped up.
Teleportation: Dinosaur Man is able to relocate his molecules to another location instantaneously. He can also create glowing green portals.
Nose Flute: Dinosaur Man has the unique talent of being able to play the flute from his nostrils. This was taught to him by the High Priest Not to Be Described.
Instant Fusion: Dinosaur Man is somehow able to fuse with other beings without any sort of spell or ritualistic dance, as shown when he instantly fused to Jungle Man just to say his catchphrase. It's unknown if he can fuse with just anyone on the spot or if it has to be someone he knows.
== Equipment ==
Magic Flute: Dinosaur Man owns a small red & yellow flute that's been enchanted by the High Priest Not to Be Described. It can play any instrumental song, no matter if it contains flute or not (though for the latter, he has to concentrate harder).
== Weaknesses ==
Dinosaur Man is easy to please, but also easy to anger. His short temper causes him to make hasty decisions when in danger. For instance, he decided to attack Hastur head-on, but failed due to the Yellow King being too overwhelming for him. Besides that, Dinosaur Man has no other known weaknesses.
== Trivia ==
* His mannerisms are based off of Salamander Man from The Filthy Frank Show.
* Despite having Godzilla's face, he never roars like Godzilla, instead borrowing sound effects from the Tyrannosaurus Rex & Indominus Rex from the Jurassic Park series.
