Earth dinosaurs

**Earth Elemented Dinosaurs (土)** are from the Thyreophora group, which includes stegosaurians and ankylosaurians (Ankylosauridae, Nodosauridae, "polacanths"). They are resistant against Lightning Moves, but weak against Grass Moves, and their Move Cards are strong against Lightning Dinosaurs and weak against Grass Dinosaurs. In the anime, Earth Dinosaur cards can be activated by stone, dirt, rock, or any other form of "earth". Their Move Cards often involve the use of sharp, glowing, purple crystals, or the ground around your opponent
