Black dinosaurs are enemies in Dino Quake. They appear in levels 15, 16 and 17 (3-3, 3-4 and 3-5).
Behaviour[]
Black dinosaurs run back and forth across a series of platforms. If there are small gaps between platforms, they will jump to the adjacent platform and continue running as long as the platforms are at the same height. Occasionally, they will pause and jump to the platform directly above or below them.
If the player is at the same altitude as a black dinosaur, the enemy will fire a pink bullet in the player's direction. The bullet is able to travel through walls and, upon contact, will cause the player to lose a life.
Additionally, if the player faces a black dinosaur on the same platform, the enemy may charge at them instead of firing a bullet.
Black dinosaurs can spawn from any of the three nests in level 17 (3-5).
Strategy[]
Black dinosaurs are killed when hit by a quake. When defeated, they will drop a fruit based on the combo of enemies hit with a single quake:
- 1 combo -
Strawberry (300 pts) - 2 combo - Grape (500 pts)
- 3+ combo - Watermelon (600 pts)
