[edit] In Golden Sun: The Lost Age
[edit] Dino
A Dino (デイノ) is an orange-scaled level 10 variant with light-green claws and feet. In The Lost Age it is fought throughout the overworld portion of eastern and central Osenia, as well as throughout Yampi Desert.
The Dino has the highest attack in the overworld portion of where it can be fought, but is less durable than the Troll; these two monsters can essentially be considered equal, and though the Dino has much more agility than the Troll, it is outsped by the Kobold and Momonga in the area. In Yampi Desert the strongest enemy becomes the Emu.
A Dino's statistics are as follows:
| Name | HP | PP | Attack | Defense | Agility | Luck |
| Dino | 82 | 0 | 84 | 23 | 35 | 8 |
| Elemental Resistances | Turns | Exp | Coins | Item Dropped | Drop Rate | |

A Dino uses these battle commands:
| Command | Chance to use | Elem. Stats used with * | Description |

110 Power
|
Enemy ability where the user leaps through the air at a targeted Adept and produces a burst of orange energy to signify a bite. Deals a Venus-aligned standard physical attack with 12 damage points added to the end result. |
[edit] Dinox
A Dinox (デイノニクス Deinonychus) is a slightly larger light-green-scaled level 27 variant with orange claws and feet. In The Lost Age it is ideally first fought on the continent of Tundaria and subsequently in Tundaria Tower, and later throughout Ankohl Ruins.
The Dinox, amongst its Tundarian contemporaries Needle Egg and Squirrelfang, has the highest Attack and HP but the lowest Agility. In a battle, it is possible, though rare, that it will lower an Adept's HP down to 1, and another monster's attack right afterwards would down that Adept, which can be dangerous. In both Tundaria Tower and Ankohl Ruins, however, it is far outperformed by the Minotaurus, which has superior stats everywhere.
A Dinox's statistics are as follows:
| Name | HP | PP | Attack | Defense | Agility | Luck |
| Dinox | 172 | 0 | 264 | 82 | 116 | 10 |
| Elemental Resistances | Turns | Exp | Coins | Item Dropped | Drop Rate | |

110 Power Level 4
|
Enemy ability where the monster leaps through the air at a targeted Adept and produces a crunching bite symbol that explodes into a large burst of orange-red energy. Deals a Venus-aligned standard physical attack with the end result multiplied by 1.3, and if it is not strong enough to down the target, it has a chance of lowering the target's remaining HP down to 1. |
[edit] Dinosaurus
The Dinosaurus (デイノサルス) exists as a named but unused variant in the code in The Lost Age, where none of its statistics and abilities are coded beyond weak placeholder abilities. Had it been used it would have appeared as a violet-scaled variant with dark-purple claws and feet.
