Anime

Dinosaur King

Maiasaura's card, along with her Move Card, was activated by curious goat in the Swiss Alps, who kicked the Card Capsule open. Maiasaura was very protective of her egg, but allowed the goats near it. When the D-Team teleported in right in front of her, they thought that she was attacking them, so Max summoned Chomp to battle her. They were equally strong, but when the Alpha Gang spotted them, Ursula summoned Terry to battle them. However, they saw Maiasaura's egg and sent Terry after it. Zoe teleported in and saw this, summoning Paris to knock Terry away from the egg, bouncing it out of the nest. Max recalled Chomp, but Maiasaura saw her egg was gone and went on a rampage looking for it, hitting Terry with Diving Press and knocking him away, defeating him, before going after the nearby Paris. She nearly defeated her, but stopped when she heard her baby crying, who had hatched, which calmed her down enough to let the Battlefield disappear. She and her baby were reunited, and asked the D-Team, through the Dino Holders, to "go home". Through the power of the Grass Stone, Zoe was able to turn them both into a single card, collecting it along with Diving Press.

In Carnival of Chaos, another Maiasaura of unknown origin was seen in the Alpha Gang's amusement park, but due to not eating in so long, its control device failed and it went berserk. It was returned to its card after pet-size Paris knocked its device off.

Later, Zoe summoned the first Maiasaura to fight against the Black T-Rex, but she was defeated when she tried leaping at it and it kicked her.

Mesozoic Meltdown

A wild Maiasaura and her group of babies were caught in the Cretaceous meteor impact in Alien Parent Trap.

Character Design

Personality

Maiasaura was a gentle but very protective dinosaur, especially toward her baby, fighting Chomp and attacking Terry, Paris, and nearly the D-Team when her egg was threatened and later disappeared, showing her strength when she easily defeating Terry. However, she was rather impulsive in her defense, as there was no indication Paris had harmed her egg when she attacked her, though realized her mistake and calmed down when her baby showed up safe, even asking the D-Team through the Stones to help them.

Trivia

  • Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
    • Japanese: すを作りこどもを育てていたらしい。名前の意味はここから来ている。草食恐竜だ。
    • English: A herbivore that makes nests and takes care of its young, from which it got its name.
    • Taiwanese: 他似乎有築巢照顧孩子的能力,故有此名,是草食恐龍。
  • Along with Parasaurolophus, Lambeosaurus, Shantungosaurus, Iguanodon, Tsintaosaurus, Ouranosaurus, Saurolophus, Altirhinus, Corythosaurus, and Muttaburrasaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Grass Egg card.
  • Maiasaura is the only dinosaur to alone use the power of the Stones to communicate directly to the D-Team via spoken words. All other instances of this power feature crowds of dinosaurs all talking over each other to say the same thing at once.
  • Maiasaura is the only anime dinosaur to have two distinct cards but not be altered (unlike Acrocanthosaurus and Velociraptor). When she was first activated, she came from a card featuring only her. When she allowed Zoe to return her and her baby to the same card, they became a card featuring both of them; this card appeared on all the "tally screens" at the end of each episode from 20-48. But when she is summoned to fight the Black T-Rex, she is alone, and returns to the first version of her card when defeated. The Carnival of Chaos Maiasaura's card isn't clearly seen.
  • As was reflected in her anime appearance, a number of Maiasaura's arcade cards also feature one or more baby Maiasaura alongside the adult, even in waves where every other dinosaur's card showed them alone (as some waves featured natural landscapes with shots of herds or packs for many dinosaurs).
  • When Dr. Taylor looks at the Maiasaura Card at the end of the episode, he also holds a Grass Move Card in his hand. That was probably an animation mistake, since Diving Press is a Normal Move card, and the D-Team rarely uses Normal Moves.
