King of Dinosaurs

King of Dinosaurs (キング・オブ・ダイナソー), or Dinosaur for short, is a new character in The King of Fighters XIV.

When the director, Yasuyuki Oda, came by with a drawing of a Dino-wrestler, Eisuke Ogura and the other developers immediately wanted to use it for the new game. Ogura insists that King of Dinosaurs is not Tizoc, despite evidence to the contrary.

He is voiced by Hikaru Hanada.

Story
King of Dinosaurs is the heel persona of Tizoc. After he lost against Nelson, he couldn't face the disgrace. To avoid tarnishing the honorable image of his face persona, he adopted this identity to settle the score.

Personality
Dinosaur is a fierce man with a primal attitude (or at least tries to be). With his heel gimmick, he's also shown to be fearless with animal-like prowess as well (or so he says). Despite his attitude, he seems to having trouble pinning down his new persona. Though his moments of over the top theatrics and love of children still shine through despite being a heel for the sole sake of revenge. In team Mexico’s ending he is shown to ponder a new diet befitting of his new persona and trying to get over the children. Plus his disguise is so obvious that all his friends immediately find out who he is, leading to humerous fits of rage from Tizoc

Appearance
While apparently not growing or shrinking in terms of height or weight Tizoc has slimmed down significantly, showing a slightly skinnier (but still muscular) body now covered in scars. Much like in Garou: Mark of the Wolves Tizoc in game is shown to be white in skin tone.

Powers

 * Great Strength: The King of Dinosaurs can lift anyone heavier than him.

Fighting Style
Dinosaur's fighting style is a twist of Pro Wrestling that's grapple-focused, with many dynamic and crushing hold attacks including a highly exaggerated Hurricanranna, piledriver, and a charging attack among others. Unlike his old persona Tizoc however, majority of his moves are more feral and ruthless including that he uses his teeth, and uses his claws to scratch the opponent in certain moves.
