Changes: Apatosaurus

Revision as of 16:39, 18 May 2019

Note: Although long considered to be a species of Apatosaurus, a 2015 study concluded that the original species of Brontosaurus excelsus was distinct enough from the type species Apatosaurus ajax to be reassigned to its own genus, taking two other former Apatosaurus species with it.

Various Dinosaur King media alternately call this dinosaur "Brontosaurus" and "Apatosaurus", and they are used interchangeably on this page.

For the anime's armored Apatosaurus, see Brontikens.

Trivia

Along with Megalosaurus, Pawpawsaurus, and Cryolophosaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese Secret Egg II arcade card.
Its Secret Moves are all based around electricity, likely referencing Brontosaurus' name, meaning "thunder lizard", although the name was in reference to how its weight would shake the ground like thunder when it walked.
Apatosaurus's regular non-Spectral arcade form is a Secret Dinosaur, while its Spectral Armor form is a Water Dinosaur with a Spectral mark-bearing pre-armored form. In the anime, the only form to appear is the full Spectral Armor form, and it's a Secret Dinosaur. Both armored and pre-armored Spectral forms appear as Secret Dinosaurs in the TCG.
In the arcade game and anime's English dub, this dinosaur is referred to as "Apatosaurus". The Japanese anime uses both names, Spectre/Jark saying "Brontosaurus" but Max/Ryuta using "Apatosaurus".
It is the only Secret dinosaur in the series that did not defeat a dinosaur.

-*Brontikens was the only Secret Dinosaur in the anime not to use any of its Secret Moves; he did use [[Spectral Destroy]], but that was a built-in ability of his [[Spectral Armor]].
-*Its Secret Moves are all based around electricity, likely referencing its name, "thunder lizard", although the name was in reference to how its weight would shake the ground like thunder when it walked.

-*His card can be briefly seen after being defeated.
-*In the anime, Brontikens (as a chibi), was quickly shown to stand perfectly on his back legs. This is quite accurate since the fossil record shows Apatosaurus tracks of juveniles walking on their hind legs.
-*It is the only Spectral Pirate main dinosaur not to defeat a dinosaur, but as Rex said, he was one of the strongest dinosaurs in the series.
