[[File:DD1-Canopus.jpg|300px|thumb|right| | [[File:DD1-Canopus.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Canopus from Dino Device 1]]'''Dinos''' {{lang|jap=ダイナ}} are robotic monsters found in a virtual world known as the [[Dino Net]]. They are divided into Types, Styles, and Elements. Dinos are generated from a gashapon-like '''Gacha Station''' (usually shortened to '''Gachasta'''.) They are able to equip a variety of '''Devices''' (weapons and armor) to give them different advantages in battle. | ||

The resulting Style of Dino will be different depending on the name and birthdate of the entry, for example inputting a February birthday is likely to result in an Aquarius Dino of a random Element.
