  • Japanese ID number: D-325
  • Accessories: Stegosaurus shell, shell back, "Stego Gun", Dinoking footplate

Doryu's inner robot shares the same mold as the Pretender Monster Scowl, transforming into a howler monster. He comes with a rubbery cyborg stegosaurus "Transalt" shell that he can be stored in. He was available both individually and in a large Dinoking box-set.

• Dinoking (Multi-pack, 1989)
  • Japanese ID number: D-328

All six members of Dinoforce were available both in individual boxes, and in a complete six-piece gift set.

Trivia

• Doryu's name translates roughly as "Earth Dragon".

• The Dinoforce shells are notable for developing a green patina on the painted-gold portions, as well as a slimy texture over their whole surface over time. What causes this is unknown, but ick. Even previously-unopened samples will develop this nastiness. While some water and a little bit of hand-soap should take care of the slime, there's not much to be done about the green discoloration.

• The Victory anime depicted the Dinoforce members as carrying melee weapons, rather than the blasters the toys actually came with.
