Anime

Dinosaur King

Saltasaurus' card was activated in the Amazon Rain Forest by rain during a storm in Bungle in the Jungle. It chased after a lizard it saw, thinking it to be one of its own kind. The D-Team found it, but had to run when it wandered right at them. Then Spiny was summoned to fight it; he proved ineffective against Saltasaurus' back armor until he used Tail Smash, but the Alpha Gang had neglected to feed Spiny, and he was weak enough to be easily defeated by exhaustion. Saltasaurus again followed the lizard, now hitching a ride with an unsuspecting Max, and cornered him against a waterfall. A missing Chomp reappeared in time to fight Saltasaurus, having the same trouble against its armor but managing to defeat it with Electric Charge before collapsing from exhaustion himself. The card was claimed by Rex and given to Max.

Another Saltasaurus is briefly seen in the Alpha Gang's dinosaur amusement park in Carnival of Chaos. Due to being unfed, its control device malfunctioned and it got loose like the rest of the dinosaurs, but was returned to its card by the pet-size Chomp knocking the device off. Its card was retrieved by an Alpha Droid and never seen again.

Mesozoic Meltdown

A recolored wild Saltasaurus is briefly seen in the Cretaceous Period in Alien Parent Trap when the meteor crashes down.

The D-Teams' parents later released a Saltasaurus on the Space Pirates' ship along with several other dinosaurs to distract a group of Gel Jarks so that they could escape.

Personality

Saltasaurus appears to have been a rather gentle dinosaur overall, simply following a lizard around thinking they were the same species, likely because most sauropods were probably herd animals. The only reason he seems to have fought the D-Team at all was Max's mistake in thinking Saltasaurus was chasing him. Thusly pushed, he was more than willing and capable of fighting when threatened, even without a Move Card, his bulky defenses exhausting out two different opponents rather close together.

Trivia

Dr. Taylor's arcade & anime comments:
- Japanese: せなかによろいを持った草食恐竜だ。四足歩行でどっしりとした体をしている。
- English: A herbivore with plates on its back. It is heavy set and quadrupedal.
- Taiwanese: 在背部有著盔甲的草食恐龍,以四腳行走,其體型非常壯碩。
Along with Spinosaurus, Amargasaurus, Baryonyx, Suchomimus, Camarasaurus, Irritator, Patagosaurus, Opisthocoelicaudia, and Ampelosaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Water Egg card.
Dr. Taylor claims that Saltasaurus chased the lizard because its name meant "lizard from Salta", meaning that it was a lizard, too. Although that is what its Latin name is derived from, any real paleontologist would know that dinosaurs and lizards were in actuality hardly related except for both being reptiles.
On the Japanese official website, Saltasaurus's roar is used as Camarasaurus's sound in the painting game on Kyoryu-King.
Saltasaurus has the same English dub roar as many other sauropods: Amargasaurus, Seismosaurus, and Shunosaurus.
When the Saltasaurus returns to its card in Carnival of Chaos, the Futabasaurus in the pool next to it also reverts at the same moment. This may suggest that the Saltasaurus was the Water Dinosaur who used its Move Card, or it was simply a coincidence.

-Immediately after his card was activated, the Saltasaurus chased a small lizard because the thought they were the same type. This shows, that he was looking for a company of his own kind, which can be regarded as a typical feature, since most sauropods were probably herd animals. He is a strong fighter even without a move card, but he seems to be passive because he only attacked Spiny and Chomp after they attacked him and he only defended himself.
