Dino-Rang's official catchphrase

Dino-Rang is a green boomerang-wielding dinosaur Skylander in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He is of the Earth element.

Background

Personality

Unlike most unruly dinosaurs, Dino-Rang has a calm and collected demeanor. However, if anyone calls him a dragon by mistake, Dino-Rang will lose his cool, resulting in a furious display of whirling boomerangs. Even though he loves being a Skylander, he still dreams of the hunting plains of his homeland.[1]

Biography

For years, Dino-Rang trained to use the weapons of his tribe – earthen boomerangs. His people were skilled hunters in a world far away from the realm of Skylands. As he slept one night, a freak portal suddenly opened beneath him. Unsure of how or why he arrived in Skylands, Dino-Rang set out to explore the world that was suddenly his new home. Eventually becoming a Skylander, he now fights with his own brand of dino-justice, while seeking out the fabled Twin Diamond Boomerangs, which he believes could hold the clues to his greater destiny.

Story

History

Dino-Rang came from a tribe of skilled hunting dinosaurs from a faraway world. There, he had been the first to twirl the legendary twin boomerangs and was top of his tribe. But his fortunes changed one night when a portal popped open beneath his bed and sucked him into a strange Skylands temple. He was surrounded by sinister wizards, whose spell had gone askew. Dino-Rang broke out his boomerangs and, before the wizards could say 'boo' (or even 'bo'), they were blasted to the remote Outlands.

Threat averted, he began searching for the fabled Twin Diamond Boomerangs which he hoped could take him home. He is yet to find them, but he did find Master Eon - who promptly made him a Skylander.[2]

Gameplay

Dino-Rang uses his boomerangs to attack his foes at range or to deflect their attacks. He can also use the surrounding dirt to form traps that spring up from the earth when an opponent gets too close.

Trivia

  • His appearance bears a resemblance to Vector the Crocodile from the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
  • Dino-Rang, Flashwing, Spyro and Star Strike are the only Skylanders whose origin homes are not in Skylands.
  • Despite his size, Dino-Rang is a suprisingly gifted dancer. Sometimes though, he forgets his own strength. Once, when he dancing with a female partner, he attempted to lift her above his head, and accidentally launched her screaming several miles into the air. She has not, as of yet, come back down.[3]
  • His catchphrase is a play on "Come Rain or Shine".
  • Dino-Rang speaks in an Australian accent.
  • Dino-Rang can summon Stone Fists like Bash does.
  • He also resembles the platypus hunter Liam McCracken from the Phineas and Ferb episode "Primal Perry", as both use boomerangs as weapons and speak in Australian accents.
  • He, Slobber Tooth and Chopper are currently the only Skylanders who are dinosaurs.
  • His name is a pun on the words "Dinosaur" and "Boomerang".
  • In Swap Force, Dino-Rang's profile picture has the Obsidian Armor upgrade.
  • In Swap Force, every time he performs the Stonefist Traps, they immediately pop out of the ground rather than waiting for enemies to step on them.
  • Dino-Rang and Snap Shot are both reptilian Skylanders that use a projectile weapon.
  • In Skylanders Giants, Dino-Rang can preform a glitch were he seems to moonwalk. In order for this glitch to work, Dino-Rang must have the upgrade Boomerang Finesse. Then the player must make Dino-Rang run to a wall, crate or enemy and hold the A button. As long as the player holds down the A button, Dino-Rang can walk in any direction and still face forward.
