Cardosaurs

"card-o-saur" is used as the name of all the dinosaurs that can be turned from simple cards and back again, which included the D-team. at first it was made by anguirus as a sort of joke but the cardosaurs decided to call themselves that making the name stuck

## background

Dinosaur Cards are one of 2 card types alongside Move. The body of the cards are a gray color; Secret Dinosaur cards have a gray-to-yellow gradient to indicate inherent Move Cards; dinosaurs with Spectral Armor have dark purple cards instead; Alpha Dinosaur cards have a brighter purple on the back only; and Black Dinosaur cards are nearly black.

They can be activated and become the dinosaur in an Element-colored glow by coming into contact with their Element in the environment, or by being swiped across their Element's Stone; swiping a dinosaur's card *down* across a Stone summons them full size, while swiping them *up* across one summons them as a pet-sized chibi version; Spectral Armor Dinosaur Cards drain to complete grayscale when the dinosaur is summoned, this card later adding their armor.

Only dinosaurs summoned with a Stone or a device powered by or copying the power of a Stone can be recalled on command. If a dinosaur, activated or summoned, takes too much damage or runs out of energy, they will return to their card in an Element-colored glow; the glow is always purple for Spectral Armor Dinosaurs. Velociraptor is a special case exception to almost every rule

## history

65 million years ago when the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs struck, a stone plate was created from the earth to inherit the spirits and thoughts of the dinosaurs before they died pleading for help. in the 22nd century, two scientists named dr ancient and dr cretacia found the stone and got the message and knew they had to help the dinosaurs.

they built a time machine called the back lander and traveled to the dinosaur age to save the dinosaurs by turning them into cards to preserve the species, however a paleontologist named dr z became obsessed with such power and started creating move cards based off the elemental stone plates to make the dinosaurs stronger with a mislead dream of turning all dinosaurs into cards and make a dinosaur kingdom crowning himself dinosaur king, which is when he started making the secret dinosaurs and making various dinosaurs into move cards. when they were about to leave, dr z tried to kill the ancients by dispatching them from the back lander and then it malfunctioned separating the stone plates and all their dinosaur cards.

they were then dispatched to the 21st century where when activated the dinosaurs lost their memories of before becoming cards, accept guru, with that they were all gathered up by the ancients son rex with the help of his two friends max and zoe and retrieved numerous cards that were held by space pirates who held them prisoner to their own amusement. eventually they were headed to the future before a earthquake like event happened which caused the cards and the ancients to be deperated and stranded in equestria. when godzilla and the equestrian guardians learned the story, they were able to find all the cards and make the cardosaurs feel home in harmony land with the help of the ancients to help bring as many dinosaur herds from their universe and welcomed dinosaurs from the Dinosaur King anime, ds, trading card game, and arcade game
