Dinogator
- Dinogator is a Laser Beast from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Dinogator (ダイノゲーター Dainogētā) is a Laser Beast of the Crocodile Clan and a member of Underground Phantom Demons, an elite unit that has protected Tigerburn's royal family for generations. A strict and unforgiving officer, he believes wholeheartedly in the saying "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" and punishes soldiers under his command severely if they botch a mission. He is head of the marine attack and underwater maneuver portions of the Laser Beast army, answering to Skullgrotes, but dislikes sitting behind the front lines and handing out orders when he could be out in the field making use of his impressive physique. Dinogator wields the Scale Beam Laser, a weapon that hinders enemies' movement by covering them in a layer of thick scales.
