Anime

Dinosaur King

Suchomimus' card was activated in a bay in Monaco in Alpha Bets It All, where he was mistaken for a sea monster by the local fishermen because he started eating all the fish they'd caught, threatening to deplete the entire stockpile and even ending up inside the aquarium's fish tank. The D-Team, locked up by the lead fisherman for having similar creatures, convinced him to let them help catch Suchomimus, Rex and the fisherman using his truck to lure him out with the last of the fish. He proved himself fast enough to stay ahead of Ace and Spiny as they raced through the streets after the truck in a "Dinosaur Grand Prix", his competitors soon tiring out. After Ace beat Spiny, Suchomimus attacked and nearly beat the exhausted Ace, but was kicked back and defeated by a ram with Cyclone. His card was claimed by Rex.

The Alpha Gang had another Suchomimus in their amusement park in Carnival of Chaos, simply walking around in an enclosure, but it went berserk and escaped along with the others due to lack of food affecting their control devices. One of the last three loose dinosaurs, it was returned to its card when Paris rammed it and knocked off its controller; its card was retrieved by an Alpha Droid and was never seen or mentioned again.

A Suchomimus was briefly seen in Max's dream in Metal Imbalance among the crowd of dinosaurs saying, "Please save us."

Character Design

Personality

Typical of a large carnivore, Suchomimus is an aggressive dinosaur, but is also simply driven by hunger, since he looted the boats of the fishermen for fish but did not attack any people. He is both a fast runner (with better stamina than Ace or Spiny, since both were exhausted after the run, while Suchomimus showed no signs of fatigue) and an excellent swimmer, probably due to his connection to the Water Element. He fought Ace, possibly because he saw him as competition for the fish, but strangely didn't attack until after Ace has defeated Spiny. It can be assumed that Suchomimus saw both Ace and Spiny as competition, so when they fought each other, he simply waited to see who would win so that he could easily defeated the weakened dinosaur. In this respect it can be said that he was smart, but also quite underhanded.

Trivia

• Dr. Taylor's arcade comments
  • Japanese: 魚を食べていたと言われている肉食恐竜だ。とても細長い顔がとくちょうだ。
  • English: A carnivore that eats mostly fish. It has a very narrow face.
  • Taiwanese: 據說是一種會吃魚的恐龍,細長的臉是他的特徵。
• DS Game Encyclopedia entry: A carnivore thought to eat fish. It has an extremely long, thin face.
• Along with Giganotosaurus, Maiasaura, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus, and Allosaurus, it is one of the dinosaurs available in the Japanese Triple Slash Card set.
• Along with Spinosaurus, Amargasaurus, Baryonyx, Saltasaurus, Camarasaurus, Irritator, Patagosaurus, Opisthocoelicaudia, and Ampelosaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Water Egg card.
• Along with Isisaurus, Megaraptor, Carcharodontosaurus, Anchiceratops, Anatotitan, Chasmosaurus, Dacentrurus, Fukuisaurus, and Liliensternus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese Green Dinosaurs Egg card.
• It is one of the few dinosaurs in season 1 that was briefly speculated by the D-Team to be another dinosaur (Spinosaurus) before being correctly identified. The others were Altirhinus (thought an Iguanodon) and Saurophaganax (thought an Allosaurus).
• Suchomimus, along with Allosaurus and Therizinosaurus, is one of the few dinosaurs from season 1 that did not appear in season 2 at all, while Stegosaurus only appeared altered.
• Suchomimus is the only Season 1 Water dinosaur whose card was activated by salt water instead of fresh water. Spiny's card was activated by a spilled drink and the other Water Dinosaurs were activated by a river or lake.
