'''Yellow Dinos''' (''Diplodocus carnegii'') are not really dragons at all! Based loosely on the sprites from [http://mario.wikia.com/wiki/Yoshi Yoshi], these shoe-wearing dinos feature a much different, lighthearted style than the more serious dragons. Adult dinos possess no known gender and are therefore [[Unbreedables|unbreedable]] (however, this is a recent change; dinos in the past were all gendered male and shortly before the change they were also female).

'''Yellow Dinos''', or '''Diplodocus carnegii''', are an original species on the site, having been released on June 19, 2007, alongside [[Storm Dragon]]s and [[Red Dino]]s. Dinos are a special release of [[:Category:Non-Dragon|creatures]] as opposed to the traditional dragons found on the site; they do not possess genders and cannot breed. They also cannot be [[Revive|revived]] if [[Killing|killed]].
   
Dinos come in 5 colors: [[Green Dino|Green]], [[Red Dino|red]], [[Blue Dino|blue]], '''yellow''' and [[Purple Dino|purple]]. Purple was the only color not originally on the site from the start and was added recently. The old sprites of the Dinos were actually in fact different colored Yoshi sprites. These Dinos have no breed specific action and are all classed as rare. They cannot breed with other Dinos or with other species.

Adult Dinos used to originally possess genders, with all of them gendering male (and later female, shortly before the change to remove genders entirely). Despite having genders though, they still could not breed. The current sprites were based loosely on the sprites of [[:w:c:mario:Yoshi|Yoshi]], which were the Dinos' original sprites before [[Replacement Project|the Great Fog]]. It is because of this that they have a different art direction than the rest of the dragons on-site, opting for a more light-hearted and cartoonish style. Another theory for this art direction however, is that they're not considered entirely serious in terms of the game's lore, and are seen as more of an on-site joke like the [[Chicken]]s.
When sorted by "Breed" they are listed as "Yoshi Yellow" on a users scroll.

Yellow Dinos, or Diplodocus carnegii, are an original species on the site, having been released on June 19, 2007, alongside Storm Dragons and Red Dinos. Dinos are a special release of creatures as opposed to the traditional dragons found on the site; they do not possess genders and cannot breed. They also cannot be revived if killed.

Dinos come in 5 colors: Green, Red, Blue, Yellow and Purple. Purple Dinos are the only color not considered an original species of Dragon Cave, having been instead introduced on July 15, 2009.

Adult Dinos used to originally possess genders, with all of them gendering male (and later female, shortly before the change to remove genders entirely). Despite having genders though, they still could not breed. The current sprites were based loosely on the sprites of Yoshi, which were the Dinos' original sprites before the Great Fog. It is because of this that they have a different art direction than the rest of the dragons on-site, opting for a more light-hearted and cartoonish style. Another theory for this art direction however, is that they're not considered entirely serious in terms of the game's lore, and are seen as more of an on-site joke like the Chickens.

Under the old Breed sort, these creatures sorted as "Yoshi Yellow" on a user's scroll. As of August 14, 2016, they now sort using their Encyclopedia name with other non-dragons at the bottom of users' scrolls.

Official Creature Descriptions

Egg

"This egg looks like it doesn't belong; it is brightly colored with white spots. It's much heavier than the other eggs."

Hatchling

"You were right, it's not the same species as the other eggs. So if it's not a dragon, what is it?"

Mature Hatchling

"You were right, it's not the same species as the other eggs. So if it's not a dragon, what is it?
And look, it's gotten bigger! Maybe it will reach its full size soon."

Adult

"Finally, after much feeding, your baby has grown into a full Dino! Dinos can eat almost anything, including things with spikes. In order to do so, they must have very tough stomachs. Yellow Dinos have very long necks, which they use to reach and eat food located high off the ground."
