Dinosaur King

There is well-known confusion over its name's meaning due to its similarity to the Latin/Spanish "tauro"/"toro" meaning "bull" presumably due to its large horns, but is actually in reference to the large holes in its frill via the Greek "toreo" (likely, at least, as Marsh never specified its origin in his original papers). Some scientists (starting in 2010) consider Torosaurus fossils to simply represent mature Triceratops after their frills had extended, but later research (2011, 2012, and 2013) seems to prove otherwise.

Anime[]

Dinosaur King[]

Torosaurus' card was activated in Rhino or Dino? by sparks from a broken lamp after a rhino attacked Ungaro's tent, but the poacher mistook it for a large rhino itself. After remaining elusive for a time, he arrived suddenly to protect Ace and the D-Team from Spiny before running off with pet-sized Chomp, as the two belong to closely related species. He later fought against Terry to defend Chomp, but when they were found, Paris was summoned to help him fight against Terry and Spiny. When Terry tried to attack Paris, Torosaurus hit him, but was thrown into Chomp. He was nearly beaten by Terry, until Chomp finally managed to be summoned full-sized to save him. He combined his Lightning Strike with Chomp's and they defeated Terry, but the battle had weakened Torosaurus, making him collapse and return to his card out of exhaustion. His card and Move Card were claimed by Max.

A Torosaurus appears in Max's dream in Metal Imbalance among the crowd of dinosaur asking him to "save us".

A small herd of Torosaurus are brought into the present in Dinosaur War! by the malfunctioning Backlander, but are returned when the time circuits fail completely following the Black T-Rex's defeat.

Mesozoic Meltdown[]

Another Torosaurus is briefly seen in a glass dome cage on the Space Pirate's ship in Two Shoguns are Better than One, and in the finale is discovered and rescued by Dr. Z along with the other dinosaurs there.

Character Design[]

Personality[]

Torosaurus is both a very peaceful and very strong dinosaur. Like most Season 1 Lightning Dinosaurs, he became friends with Chomp and showed a strong protective instinct for him. In the fight against the Alpha Gang, he also protected Paris from Terry's attack despite not having met prior (though seeing she was there to support him) and later combined his Lightning Strike with Chomp's to defeat Terry. In this respect, he can be regarded as one of the wild dinosaurs who developed a particularly strong friendship with the D-Team.
