The '''Dinosaur''' is an invincible enemy from ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape]]'' and its remakes, ''[[Rayman 2: Revolution]]'' and ''[[Rayman DS]]''. It goes un-named in all versions but the PS version.

The Dinosaur is a giant, remote-controlled robot with a head resembling that of a [[Teensie]]'s, along with two raptor-like legs. It tends to hop a lot like a kangaroo and makes noises almost like a chicken.

The Dinosaur was used by [[Admiral Razorbeard's Lackey]] to patrol the [[The Reformatory for Disturbing Children|Reformatory for Disturbing Children]] in the [[Iron Mountains]]. If anything escaped, it would persistently chase down the escapee.

The Dinosaur doesn't appear until the grand finale of the Iron Mountains. It is dangerous for [[Rayman (character)|Rayman]] to approach, but otherwise helpful: its jumping makes a crate bounce just high enough for Rayman to enter the Reformatory. Similarly, a crate bounces inside the Reformatory; this allows Rayman to reach the Reformatory's roof.

However, once Rayman reaches the roof the Dinosaur's role is another story completely. After Rayman releases [[Globox]]'s [[Baby Globox|children]] from the Reformatory, the Dinosaur is quick to react. Rayman must speedily zip by the incoming Dinosaur on a [[Shell]] or risk being flattened. However, it is still useful for the player, because it can hurl big stones into the air or crush them, revealing [[Yellow Lum]]s underneith.

The exception to the rule is the PS version of ''Rayman 2'', in which Razorbeard's lackey has forgotten to put fuel in the Dinosaur's tank, rendering the Dinosaur useless.

Also,in the 2D beta version of Rayman 2, Rayman could jump on a mechanical dinosaur and ride it, and he could also smash its head and turn it into a platform.
