UPGRADED to Dino Monster!
Knock prey in Air to inflict deadly damage!
The **Dino Monster** is a Tier 16 Land animal in Mope.io, and the equivalent of the Bird Monster, Sea Monster, Ice Monster, Giant Scorpion, and Land Monster.

## Technical

* Upgrades from the Kraken, King Crab, Dragon, T-REX, The Bigfoot, Yeti, The Snowman or Pterodactyl at 5M XP.
* Upgrades to the Black Dragon or King Dragon at 10M XP.
* 'Charge' ability is like the Rhino and Bison's abilities combined. By pressing `W`, the Dino Monster will charge, and on contact will damage the animal and then toss it high into the air. On landing, extra damage will be dealt.
* It can climb on hills, and is immune to ink. It won't burn in the desert either.
* Can eat all foods except berries, dates and Cactus Pears.
* Can eat all animals below it that are between T-REX and Donkey tiers.

## Appearance

The Dino Monster is a brown mutant dinosaur; a hybrid of a T-REX, Triceratops, and Nodosaurus. It has a Triceratops face with horns but a T-Rex's mouth and arms. It has 3-fingered hands. The Dino Monster has also big plates with large spikes on its back and dark-brown spikes surrounded along the body, which come from the Nodosaurus. Its tail is rather lengthy.

While charging, the Dino Monster's horns will arc in closer and its eyes will narrow more.

### Golden Dino Monster

The Golden Dino Monster is similar to the Dino Monster, but is golden in color with freckles and spikier. Its eyes are closer together, and its arms face further outwards.

### Citrine Monster

The Citrine Monster is like a Dino Monster, but its scales around the back plating are yellow, it has brown freckles and has more curved red horns. Its snout is slightly more narrow and its spike is more prominent. The plates on its back are a warm brown, and the spines on the flanks are a little longer. Its body structure looks very similar to the Golden Dino Monster.

### Ruby Devil

The Ruby Devil is bright red with darker plates and more spines. It has eyeshadow and white thick horns. The horn on the Ruby Devil's snout sticks further upwards. It has two-fingered hands instead of 3 with a small spike at the start.

While charging, its arms will extend backwards, unlike any of the other skins.

### Old/Legacy

The old Dino Monster looks similar to the current Dino Monster, but has a much broader rounded snout. It has no folds on its back and a single brown patch all the way to the tail. 5 pairs of cream curving spikes sit on its back. The Dino Monster has darker spines on its sides and shorter thicker arms with 3 fingered hands. Its tail is short yet fat.

## Strategy

* If you see a Black Dragon try to throw it; your ability can do a little damage, but you can kill it with an army.
* The ability can help Dino Monsters to kill their prey but also works as a defense tactic.
	+ If a Dino Monster is surrounded by teamers or a group of other animals then it can use the Charge ability to escape from their reach.
	+ During this type of usage, when a Dino Monster hits any animal less than 1s of charge time, it won't toss them in the air; instead it will knock them back and give a 2s stun, make them go flying in the air and run away.
	+ It can also toss the Black Dragon in the air but for a shorter time- how long an animal stays in the air depends on which tier and how much XP the animal has. The higher tier the animal is, and the more XP it has, the shorter it flies in the air. It can also climb hills to escape from teamers or Black Dragons.
* Use your ability like an overpowered Bison. It is faster and also does more damage, so it is a great ability.
* You can go into the Desert, since the Dino Monster no longer suffers burn damage.
	+ There will be plenty of animals there, but particularly target Blackwidow Spiders, Pterodactyls, Bison and Komodo Dragons.
		- If they are on low health from eating a cactus, it becomes a guaranteed kill. Potentially Blackwidows and Pterodactyls may be more of a challenge since both can climb rocks.
		- If the rock is small enough and if you still come into contact with the animal while charging, they may still be tossed off the rock. The latter animal is harder to catch since it can fly away.
	+ Try to ram a Pterodactyl as it is beginning take-off to fly.
	+ You can also try eating a Giant Scorpion.
		- Repeatedly knock them into the air, and significantly take their health away.
		- Beware their stings though; stings can work on the Giant Scorpion's equivalents, so just go into a hiding hole if stung and on low health. If not on low health, don't bother hiding, as the health reduction isn't as high for the Dino Monster.
* Most of your monster equivalents are easy to kill.
	+ Try knocking the Land Monster far away from the volcano; rinse and repeat.
	+ If you manage to do the same with a Sea Monster, ram it from the ocean. If successful for either, you have a good chance of eating them.
	+ Ice Monsters are a bit more of a challenge, they can put up quite a fight with the ice crystals. Avoid Ice Monsters if your health isn't too high.
* As for other Dinos; it really depends on how good you are at 1v1.
	+ If not, try asking to 'team' or be on peaceful terms.
		- If that fails, ram them away and make a run for it, especially if you're on low health.
* Giant Scorpion is even more of a challenge, they can even kill you.
	+ When you spot a giant scorpion on a rock/oasis, its better not to try to ram it, because dino cant climb rock, and is very slow on oasis. (((Giant scorpion is actually quite weak if they can't manage to stop your ability because your cooldown is faster than the stun, so you can just ram them until they die, but don't be too greedy, it could make you die!)))
* Try to stay away from the Ocean biome if possible; you are extremely slow there, which weakens your ability.
	+ Sea Monsters can easily drag you further into the ocean while tail-biting you, and thus, resulting in your death.
	+ Other ocean animals are a potential threat; the Kraken has a similar ability to the Sea Monster, Blue Whales have a powerful tail slap, Killer Whales may push you into the ocean with the ability, etc.
* Cassowaries are your speciality.
	+ You are just as fast as they are so you can run them down and knock them into the air.
	+ If there are several teaming up on you, just charge away. An alternative is to run them down with your charge, but it won't work with too many of them.
* Dino Monster is very dangerous. Sometimes with the Dino Monster, bigger is better; you have more chance of hitting bigger Dino monsters when fighting with them.
* T-Rexes are a hazard, if in numbers.
* On their own, the T-Rex causes high damage to any animal.
	+ However, a team of two *can*, and may try to kill you.
		- The best way to deal with one is, initially pretend to run away. Charge in the opposite direction, then turn around when out of their sight and ram into them! Unless the player has very good instincts/reacting time, they will have no time to respond and will be rammed. This is very risky so it may be wise to charge away and hills to your advance, (T-rex can’t climb hills).
		- When dealing with a team, target the T-Rex with lower health. Focus on one and knock it into the air until it eventually dies from some other cause.
* But Giant Scorpions can be a hazard too, if you don't react quickly enough.
	+ It's even worse if there's more than one.
	+ While you're trying to ram into them, they can make you shiver. Their shivering ability isn't too much of a hazard, because the Dino Monster is a bulky animal, but if you're on low health... well let's say you're slipping off the fence between life and death in Mope.io if there isn't a hiding hole nearby.
* From a small distance, you should try ramming into the Scorpion with its backside facing you. That way, likely they won't have a chance to whip around and sting you. If you're lucky, you might even get a tailbite from it. Repeat this until it's dead.
* Make sure to watch out for tailbiters as they can catch you off guard. You probably don’t want to die as you’re such a high tier, so run away if there’s a group of them or try to ram them away.

## Trivia

* The Dino Monster is actually based off of a dinosaur cryptic from Dungeons and Dragons called Tarrasque.
* It's is the second dinosaur-like animal in mope.io (the first one being the T-Rex) and is also the third Jurassic animal.
* Its ability is similar to the charge ability of the Rhino, Swordfish and Muskox combined with the Bison and Markhor's ability, but with an extra mechanic added to it.
* There is currently a glitch where, if you are tossed in the air by a Dino Monster, you will go *very* much further in the air than usual if you hold the `Space` bar.
	+ This glitch can also occur if a Black Dragon bites a Dino Monster two or more times while it's (it referring to the Dino Monster) using its ability. Except if this occurs then that Black Dragon will be thrown *really far.*
	+ (To be added to the Strategy section for "As the Dino Monster") Due to this glitch, you can use this to ram the Black Dragon away from the Volcano (or towards it if there is another Black Dragon or even a King Dragon idling there). If you're lucky, you can team up with other Dino Monsters.

* The Dino Monster is currently the one of the 2 monsters that can kill a Black Dragon with ease outside of 1v1 arena.
* A minimum of two Dino Monsters can kill a Black Dragon but only if that BD doesn't heal enough, stay too close to the volcano, or gets into a 1v1 arena.
