Revision as of 15:53, 26 May 2020
Some scientists (starting in 2010) consider Torosaurus fossils to simply represent mature Triceratops after their frills had extended, but later research (2011 and 2012) 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.
Trivia
- Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
- Japanese: とても大きなえりかざりを持つ草食恐竜だ。頭の大きさは2mをこえる。
- English: A herbivore with a very large neck frill. Its head measures over two meters.
- Taiwanese: 有著極大領飾的草食恐龍,頭部大小超過2公尺。
- It is the first Bronze rarity Lightning Dinosaur card in the arcade.
- Along with Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Triceratops, Chasmosaurus, Eucentrosaurus, Einiosaurus, Arrhinoceratops, and Brachyceratops, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese and Taiwanese non-sale Lightning Egg card.
- Along with Torvosaurus, Baryonyx, Shantungosaurus, Edmontonia, and Ceratosaurus, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese non-sale Stalwarts of Bronze card.
- Torosaurus' anime roar is a combination of Paris' and Chomp's, mixed in with other stock roars.
- It is one of the dinosaurs that was defeated by the Alpha Gang, but claimed by the D-Team. The other ones were Ceratosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Megaraptor, Anchiceratops, Saurolophus, Deltadromeus, Iguanodon, Fukuisaurus, Jobaria, and the second Carcharodontosaurus.
- He is the only Lightning Dinosaur in the anime to use a Lightning Move other than Chomp (Styracosaurus's card was separated from Lightning Spear before it was activated, Anchiceratops and others used Normal Moves, and Maximus's Spectral Punisher was an ability of his Spectral Armor without a true Element).
- Although Chomp befriended most of the Lightning Dinosaurs in season 1, Torosaurus in general is actually the only ceratopsid species in the anime the D-Team has never fought against, given Alpha Gang and Space Pirate controlled former friends and new members, even for Chomp's species. As such, however, only the first Pentaceratops fought them by choice, and only because of a misunderstanding.
