@@macaylacayton2915 I would definitely recommend the first two games those being Fossil Fighters and Fossil Fighters Champions.

Agreed. And unfortunately since the Eshop for the DS had shut down a long time ago, you can no longer get the Dinaurians from the first game into the second game.
@@andrewtithof9501 EDF is an acronym for Earth Defense Force! It's a game series with multiple spin-offs! If you've never heard of it, look it up! It's fucking legendary!
Fun Fact: Odo is Odio's prehistoric incarnation, who was the last known specimen of it's species. According to one comment in one playthrough of Live A Live, Odo's requirement of sacrifices represent's Odio/Oersted's misanthropic belief on love.
@@geekdaparaiba Look for that one playthrough, in all the parts of that playthrough, there is one person who theorized that all of Odio's incarnations represent the misanthropic beliefs of our fallen hero. And I do like how Fiery Joker headcanon these incarnations to be based on the seven deadly sins, like O. Dio's wrath, Odie O'Bright's envy, and OD-10's intolerance for sloth and ignorance. My headcanon for Odo used to be gluttony, but then I chanfed it to lust, since the sacrifices of cave women is Odio's belief that those who found love would only be doomed to betrayed, like how he was betrayed and abandoned by the princess.
Dylan's final post game fight is INSANE. Dynal, Raptin and duna at the same.time. No matter how they position themselves, you're bonned. I can't beat him without using Frigi, compso and orno, and even then the fight can go south if you didn't max out your levels.
That fight was a pain for me as a kid, I think it was harder than the final fight with Gunash , I think I only won by spamming status effects. Or maybe I brute forced it can’t remember
Maybe name it something that isn’t clones, like “monster catching games”. I never liked clones being used since I always felt that it made them sound like ripoffs
The Red Eye King from Star Fox Adventures is a good choice to be honest. You're prey and you have to time your escapes well to make sure you're not trampled by a giant T-Rex!
I am so happy that Fossil Fighters ended up here. It’s one of if not my favourite game from my childhood and I swear it was made for me because as a kid, I never heard anyone talking about it. This game is to me what Dino City is to Jontron.
It and its sequel Fossil Fighters Champions were my favorite DS games as a kid and still have my original copy of both. It’s a shame the3rd game on 3ds was such a failure
Seeing that Dynal get number 1 makes me so happy. Fossil Fighters has been one of my favorite video games (right beside Neverwinter Nights) of all time. Ever since I first saw the commercial for the first game in 2009. Fossil Fighters is such an underrated game, and it brings me joy when people feature the franchise.
BRO!!!!! This is the best shout out to Fossil Fighters I never expected joshscorcher to have a chance to talk about the merits of this games mechanics not to mention the great designs the vivosaurs have based on their findings, names, and their history FOSSIL FIGHTERS SHALL NEVER DIE IN OUR HEARTS!!!!
Might want to add Ripto to the downgrade list. Even though I think he's an overrated villain to begin with (he's really not that funny, he's a big wuss when he's vulnerable, and his goons big and small are all the same high level of buffoonery, seriously, did the residents of the places he invaded even have any security at all?), I will admit I did find his debut boss fight mechanically engaging. However as he continues throughout the GBA titles, he practically does the damage for you. In Season of Flame he leaves the powerup gates in his arena for you to break his new defensive spells (instead of taking them down to eliminate any chance you had), all the way to Attack of the Rhynocs where…yeah I don't need to describe his incompetence there.
Pterodactyls (technically they should be called Pterosaurs) are not actually dinosaurs. Terry seems to be based on Pteranodon which shouldn't have teeth considering it's name translates to Wingless tooth or wing without tooth. However there is a case to be made for retconning him into a Caulkicephalus.
Glad to see Dynal getting the top spot! He's both my favorite character because of his story, and least favorite because of his Dark Souls level difficulty
If Pokemon Legends Arceus is set in an old enough time period, and if Hisuian Avalugg, an older variant of a Pokemon partially based on an Aetosaur is enough of a prehistoric creature to qualify, then I'd say the Noble Avalugg fight in Legends Arceus is one of my favorite examples of a prehistoric boss
It's a living glacier, I think that is enough for "prehistoric" by Josh's standards. After all he brought an titanic alien into the list, that has nothing to do with dinosaurs or prehistory
Hm on the one hand, PLA is evidently only set in about the 1870s. But in the other hand, Lord Avalugg has to be at LEAST centuries, if not thousands of years old
I am so happy to see Fossil Fighters get some love! Dynal was such a hard fight back when i was a kid, and even now when i replay the game with all my knowledge. and if you ever do "bosses that are only a head" or such Please think about putting Zongazonga from champions in honorable mentions (If there aren't better) As his fight and mechanics are a PAIN, but a fun pain that you have to think about. All in all, i wish you the best Josh and thanks for doing a list that gives Fossil Fighters a moment in the spot light
I actually recently rediscovered my long lost copy of Fossil Fighters champions, and it’s like reuniting with an old friend. Fossil Fighters and Spectrobes were, and still are games that I will always hold in the highest regard
Ah good to see the greatest game series finally on a list and not a one-off mention, fossil fighters is my favourite game, (second to it’s sequel fossil fighters champions) and I 100% agree with your choice here, dynal Is the king of dinaurians, and an unforgettable boss fight, that’s all I have to say, hope the game gets a remake!
So… Just a small correction. Dynal’s DNA seeds died 600 million years ago. During the Cambrian period. So WAAAAAAY before even land creatures became a thing. The ironic thing is, he is not even DISTANTLY related to dinosaurs since everything that contained their DNA died millions of years before. Meaning he’s also even more ancient than dinosaurs, too.
While I am fine with Anjanath getting a highlight, I am a bit surprised good ol' Deviljho wasn't picked. The mighty pickle is basically one of the scariest T-Rex type creatures and ever since it was added it's been a terror to fight while also having impactful lore.
To be fair there were a lot of dinosaur bosses to pick choose. From MH3 onwards there were a lot of prehistoric/dinosaur based bosses that were decent choices.
OH MY GOD someone actuality acknowledged the existence of the jurassic park arcade game ❤ AND Ocean Hunter in the honorable mentions?! My nostalgia is being nostalgic!
Literally right before the number one spot I said to myself, “you know, I really wish Fossil Fighters would get more attention.” I wish you could have see the massive grin I had when I saw the game’s intro pop up on screen! Thank you for putting Dynal at number 1! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Ark Survival Evolved Far Cry Primal Monster Hunter And Fossil Fighters Having played 4/5 of the top 5, I got a good amount of flashbacks of each of the games. Heck, I was playing Ark as I first watched it
9:49 I do a lot of work with fossils and that is definitely not a Giganotosaurus. The shape of the head and the arms are wrong but match good old T-Rex pretty well. They really just made a Rex and called it a Giganotosaurus.
10. Black Tyranno? Well. *Insert Yugioh joke here* 9. Are we sure Parker & Stone didn't secretly give Rare the ideas for Terry's attacks. 8. Wasn't expecting a boss from a Jurassic Park/World game. So it's a pleasant surprise. 7. No comment. 6. Reminds me that Quarter Guy recommended starting with the prehistoric chapter when ranking the chapters in Live A Live. 5. No comment. 4. No comment once again. 3. Guess Falcom decided to RELEASE THE KRAKEN when they made this boss (I'll see myself out) 2. Again with the gross out attacks. But at least it's not as nasty as the Congalala. 1. And then you get to fight the fish that ate their home world as the final boss. Which is AWESOME!
Honestly, one I wish was an honourable mention, is the T-Rex from the 2007 Turok game. While it might not be the best game around, fighting a T-Rex with everything you have, while running around and using turrets to help, is a hell of a trip.
Watching this video reminded me of the arcade game damage quest where you play a mother T-rex who's after humans who stole her eggs, she has to eat constantly to regain HP
I am happy that chronotrigger is getting recognition. And if he does alien bosses, lavos should be in that list somewhere, I fought him, he is one tough cookie!
This was a fantastic list and being a monster hunter fanboy I’m glad but was not surprised that Monster hunter made it on here. What did surprise me was seeing Anjanath tho. (Even tho he was in the title card of the video) He’s a great monster and one that fits the list perfectly cause of his T-Rex aesthetic and unique abilities, but there is a monster that puts more fear into the monster hunter community. A monster that shares in the T-Rex aesthetic and is 10 times more brutal. The worlds angriest pickle, Deviljho. Again great list. Looking forward to the next one
Dynal was and is the absolute pinnicle of difficulty spike for the game. The fight after was a hard fight and I had trouble with Dynal that I had to dig up better fossils to revive and/or intergrate before fightting the final battle
Top ten QTE boss fights. Where the boss fight is either mostly or only quicktime events, and still finds a way to be enjoyable, such as Lady Arkham from Batman Telltale for its cinematography, or Deathstroke from Arkham Origins for blending it with something you've been doing the entire series in a one-on-one fight (and it truly tests you in newgame plus), or any number of the Asuras Wrath bosses.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting something like Deviljho or Glavenus to fill the mandatory Monster Hunter spot on the list, but Anjanath does deserve some more respect, so credit where credit's due. 👌😁👍
Rarely get to hear about Fossil Fighters, I honestly didn’t think it would make your list. But to see it not only was included, but has what you consider to be the top prehistoric boss. Puts a smile on my face, on top of hitting me with heavy dose of nostalgia. Thanks.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for covering something I have been PRAYING to happen ever since I saw my first VG bosses video way back when. Also based on the ending of this vid, are you doing DEVIL bosses? HOPEFULLY you have Samael from Darksiders on there somewhere. He is my favorite boss from the franchise.
Considering the nostalgia critic used that "Tough Mama-Jamma" jig for the Jurassic Park Review and part of the "Top 11 Dumbest LOTR Moments"...depends on your POV.
I was so ready to come down here to the comments after the honorable mentions didn't have Fossil Fighters in it anywhere, only to let out an actual excited squee when the #1 segment started. Love seeing this franchise recognized, wish it was still alive
The Tideripper from Horizon Zero Dawn is a good pick. A giant robot plesiosaur which you fight on the water. The creature looks sick and I love how the theme sounds.
I know Resident Evil 6 gets a lot of (undeserved) flack, and that this boss isn't technically prehistoric, but the second phase of Derek Simmons' fight, where he transforms into a massive, skeletal T-rex, is such a fun and over the top part of the game that I feel it at least deserves an honorable mention.
I really didn’t see the number one spot being from the game series that I consistently say is underrated. Please Nintendo/Spike Chunsoft, give it a reboot.
Here's a fun Top 10 you could do, Knights! Everything from the Chivalrous and Honorable Holy Knights who serve their king with the might of god to the Dreadful and Dangerous Dark Knights who slay those in their path
I knew that Fossil Fighters would be somewhere on here, but I only played Champions, so I had no idea what a trip the first game really was, and definitely didn't know about Dynal.
Given next month is October, he’s doing Devil Bosses next up, but for creatures and species, I would’ve just preferred Ghost Bosses given that ghosts are a typing in Pokémon…
Tundra Mammoth from Epic Battle Fantasy 3-5. This beast hits like a truck with ice and earth attacks including a mammoth stampede. In 4 and 5 it becomes a type of enemy and hits just as hard
Fossil fighters is probably one of my favorite series, champions is probably one of my favorite game, and ZongaZonga was probably my favorite boss from that game lol
Kinda surprised you didn't include the V-Rex from the King Kong game...then I remember it's just a-larger-than-normal T-Rex that can easily beaten down by the Giant Monkey.
im legit suprised Deviljoh wasnt chosen or mention Dinosaur King But suprised and happy to see Fossil Fighter still surprised that ninja and dinosaurs fight
I'd like to give a shoutout to the JRPG Lost Odyssey and it's Prehistoric boss the Dinozaoro. I carnosaur like monster that is found frozen in ice and uses a really interesting gimmick. It has the ability to randomly change your party formation which can result in your physical attackers being in the back unable to attack and you magic users in the front where they are likely to get chomped, forcing you to use a turn to fix your formation to be effective again.
I bet you will finally do The Top 10 Final Levels! Examples: Deja Vu All Over Again (Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time) The Moon (The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask) Cortex Castle (Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time) The Moon Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey) The Dominion of Hate (Live A Live) Suicide Mission (Mass Effect 2) Firefly Lab (The Last of Us) Utopia City (Spark the Electric Jester 3) Lab Discovera (Kirby and the Forgotten Land) The Everdawn Basin (Dust an Elysian Tail) Promise me that you will do this countdown! It’s something I wanted for a long time!
Honestly Anjanath being the monster hunter rep for this countdown actually surprised me as I thought you would use Tigrex or Diablos but you surprised me with this.
Huge tip! While fossil fighters may be a rarer game now, you can easily pick up fossil fighters frontiers on the 3ds! Its not the cheapest 3ds but i like it as a pokemon clone. And me saying i like a pokemon clone as a huge pokenerd holds some weight. Its a really interesting game weird with a much deeper battle system then pokemon.
Honorable mention for me: Patchy the Cybersaur (Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue) You gotta fight a cybernetically-enhanced Ankylosaurus that has missle launchers on it's back with a pair of boomerangs, 'nuff said.
Loved seeing Monster Hunter! Also kinda surprised the Thunderjaw or Slaughterspine from Horizon didn't appear even as honorable mentions I mean sure they're robots but one is based on a T-Rex and the other on a Spinosaurus. Although if you don't count those a bosses, though they are bosses in Cauldrons one in Zero Dawn and the other in Forbbiden West, then fair enough that they weren't even mentioned (plus again I guess robots)
Not sure if mecha dinosaurs count also the one problem with the Horizon games a lot of the bosses aren't really bosses seeing as most of them do show up as regular enemies.
@@SnazzyjazzBro that is true you encounter them often and freely but technically the Thunderjaw is the 'boss' of Cauldron Zeta and story wise in Forbbiden West the Slaughter Spine is the 'boss' for Cauldron Gemini (and one other boss fight during Burning Shores) but I see your point, technically they aren't bosses.
I agree, Papa Scorcher. We need more than just T-Rex bosses. BRING ON THE SABERTOOTHS! Edit: Also, I know it's a franchise that's not gonna get a whole lot of talk for ages, but can we get your opinion of the Top 10 Gauntlet bosses? Or, have you already done that?

Agreed. And unfortunately since the Eshop for the DS had shut down a long time ago, you can no longer get the Dinaurians from the first game into the second game.
The #1 pick almost made me cry. I am always glad to see the series get some love
If Josh does a "top alien/extraterrestrial bosses" countdown, he should look into the EDF games.
Oh dude, EDF is DA BOMB!!
@@karlhnedkovsky5214what kind? Rocket? Missile? Grenade? Miscellaneous kinds?
@@jedediahfuller1940 All of the above!
I mostly play JRPG's such as Final Fantasy or Nintendo games like Legend of Zelda what's an EDF game
@@andrewtithof9501 EDF is an acronym for Earth Defense Force! It's a game series with multiple spin-offs! If you've never heard of it, look it up! It's fucking legendary!
11:24 It's honestly incredible that Odo can straight up slam its whole body on your party at high velocity, yet it doesn't instakill anyone
Same with Pokémon. A Wailord’s “Body Slam” _should_ turn anything that wasn’t a ghost _into_ a ghost. But it doesn’t always.
In this case it's because the scientific theory of brainless people tend to survive longer due to the denseness to danger
Fun Fact: Odo is Odio's prehistoric incarnation, who was the last known specimen of it's species.
According to one comment in one playthrough of Live A Live, Odo's requirement of sacrifices represent's Odio/Oersted's misanthropic belief on love.
Nice theory.
@@geekdaparaiba Look for that one playthrough, in all the parts of that playthrough, there is one person who theorized that all of Odio's incarnations represent the misanthropic beliefs of our fallen hero.
And I do like how Fiery Joker headcanon these incarnations to be based on the seven deadly sins, like O. Dio's wrath, Odie O'Bright's envy, and OD-10's intolerance for sloth and ignorance. My headcanon for Odo used to be gluttony, but then I chanfed it to lust, since the sacrifices of cave women is Odio's belief that those who found love would only be doomed to betrayed, like how he was betrayed and abandoned by the princess.
where did you see that comment?
Dylan's final post game fight is INSANE.
Dynal, Raptin and duna at the same.time.
No matter how they position themselves, you're bonned.
I can't beat him without using Frigi, compso and orno, and even then the fight can go south if you didn't max out your levels.
That fight was a pain for me as a kid, I think it was harder than the final fight with Gunash , I think I only won by spamming status effects. Or maybe I brute forced it can’t remember
*Boned, not bonned.
Heh. Accurate
You have NO idea how happy I am to see Fossil Fighters get number 1 in a list like this
I’d like to see a Poke-Clone list, i.e, Spectrobes, Yo Kai Watch, Monster Hunter Stories, etc.
So like, monster collecting games that aren't the big ones? (Pokémon, SMT, Digimon)
Yes, precisely!
Make sure fossil fighters is also on that list.
Maybe name it something that isn’t clones, like “monster catching games”. I never liked clones being used since I always felt that it made them sound like ripoffs
sorry, it was the easiest way to explain the style of game I was thinking of
The Red Eye King from Star Fox Adventures is a good choice to be honest. You're prey and you have to time your escapes well to make sure you're not trampled by a giant T-Rex!
Star fox adventures may not have the best selection of bosses but I definitely agree that Red Eye King was pretty epic.
I am in the minority that loves this game, even though I understand the criticism, but yeah that fight was epic. Definitely the best one in the game.
Thank you for mentioning that. I love Starfox Adventures! I'm super enamored with it!
There HAS to be a remaster/remake of this game! This would definitely make a great amount of money.
@Zerethos Would that actually happen? I mean, I love the game, but I don't know if it is good enough to have a remake.
I am so happy that Fossil Fighters ended up here. It’s one of if not my favourite game from my childhood and I swear it was made for me because as a kid, I never heard anyone talking about it. This game is to me what Dino City is to Jontron.

Same. I was stuck on the final rank up challenge for years because I refused to use a non-air team
Yeah
I would like to leave a couple suggestions for boss countdowns here:
Top 10 Boss Upgrades
-Silver the Hedgehog (06Origins)
Definitely appropriate given I’ve already mentioned the former…
Ooh! I second these! Those would be REALLY cool to see, I think! :D
Top 10 Alien/Extraterrestrial Bosses?
-The Nameless (EDF 5...and 6?)
Top 10 Sorcerer Bosses
- Shang Tsung
- Magus
- Streibough
Might want to add Ripto to the downgrade list.
Even though I think he's an overrated villain to begin with (he's really not that funny, he's a big wuss when he's vulnerable, and his goons big and small are all the same high level of buffoonery, seriously, did the residents of the places he invaded even have any security at all?), I will admit I did find his debut boss fight mechanically engaging.

I'm shocked that Fossil Fighters got a mention on this list and it's one of my favorite characters too.
Anyone who gives praise to both Ys and Fossil Fighters in the same list deserves massive respect!
Pterodactyls (technically they should be called Pterosaurs) are not actually dinosaurs.
Terry seems to be based on Pteranodon which shouldn't have teeth considering it's name translates to Wingless tooth or wing without tooth.
However there is a case to be made for retconning him into a Caulkicephalus.

Giganotosaurus isn't actually a Tyrannosaur, it's a Carnosaur which is a completely different classification of Theropod. Yes I am a prehistory nerd.
Wait what? *checks* Oh! Well well, I learned something new. Can't believe that one dumb movie franchise decided THAT to be their title name.

Wow, Josh Scorcher gives Fossil Fighters attention!? And puts it as NUMBER 1!?!?
DAMN SON!
That feels like such a genuine blessing!
Love this series!
Fossil Fighters is Number 1, I can die happy
Seeing fossil fighters get rep makes me SO HAPPY. That game is one of the best I’ve ever played, and the most fun experience for a kid.
As a Fossil Fighters fan. I feel validated
Bosses from Fossil fighters and ARK are the ones I'm hoping to see on here
Considering the nostalgia critic used that "Tough Mama-Jamma" jig for the Jurassic Park Review and part of the "Top 11 Dumbest LOTR Moments"...depends on your POV.
I was so ready to come down here to the comments after the honorable mentions didn't have Fossil Fighters in it anywhere, only to let out an actual excited squee when the #1 segment started. Love seeing this franchise recognized, wish it was still alive
The Tideripper from Horizon Zero Dawn is a good pick. A giant robot plesiosaur which you fight on the water. The creature looks sick and I love how the theme sounds.
I'm really a big fan of prehistoric so this was one awesome top 10 list 🦖
I'm curious of Josh and his wife do a Digimon count downs of there favorites
Sweet 😁 a prehistoric boss video can't wait to see it
"... got their planet galactused by giant pacman..."
You mean a langoleer?
I know Resident Evil 6 gets a lot of (undeserved) flack, and that this boss isn't technically prehistoric, but the second phase of Derek Simmons' fight, where he transforms into a massive, skeletal T-rex, is such a fun and over the top part of the game that I feel it at least deserves an honorable mention.
I really didn’t see the number one spot being from the game series that I consistently say is underrated. Please Nintendo/Spike Chunsoft, give it a reboot.
Here's a fun Top 10 you could do, Knights! Everything from the Chivalrous and Honorable Holy Knights who serve their king with the might of god to the Dreadful and Dangerous Dark Knights who slay those in their path
Some bosses that come to mind are all from World of Warcraft: Horridon, Oondasta, Thok the Bloodthirsty, King Dred, Rezan, Old Serra'kis, and Skum. 🦖
🎶 HOLY F*CKING SH!T!!! IT’S A DINOSAUR!!! HOLY SH!T! WHAT THE F***********k?!?! 🎶
Oh hello (didn’t know you were a Josh fan before?)
I knew that Fossil Fighters would be somewhere on here, but I only played Champions, so I had no idea what a trip the first game really was, and definitely didn't know about Dynal.
I'm sure you'll have to try either Top 10 Bear Bosses or Top 10 Moon Bosses
Given next month is October, he’s doing Devil Bosses next up, but for creatures and species, I would’ve just preferred Ghost Bosses given that ghosts are a typing in Pokémon…
@@thetalltitan2235 Though, other than that, there is a lot more lore than just Pokemon references
Tundra Mammoth from Epic Battle Fantasy 3-5. This beast hits like a truck with ice and earth attacks including a mammoth stampede. In 4 and 5 it becomes a type of enemy and hits just as hard
Can't remember his name, but the caveman ghost from Luigi's Mansion 3, who possesses a T-Rex skeleton on display in a museum.
Fossil fighters is probably one of my favorite series, champions is probably one of my favorite game, and ZongaZonga was probably my favorite boss from that game lol
Kinda surprised you didn't include the V-Rex from the King Kong game...then I remember it's just a-larger-than-normal T-Rex that can easily beaten down by the Giant Monkey.
im legit suprised Deviljoh wasnt chosen or mention Dinosaur King
But suprised and happy to see Fossil Fighter
still surprised that ninja and dinosaurs fight
Drinking game: Take a sip of water every time Live a Live gets an entry on one of Josh's lists
I'd like to give a shoutout to the JRPG Lost Odyssey and it's Prehistoric boss the Dinozaoro. I carnosaur like monster that is found frozen in ice and uses a really interesting gimmick. It has the ability to randomly change your party formation which can result in your physical attackers being in the back unable to attack and you magic users in the front where they are likely to get chomped, forcing you to use a turn to fix your formation to be effective again.
MICROWAVE SOCIETY REFERENCE GUUUUD
I bet you will finally do The Top 10 Final Levels!
Examples:
Deja Vu All Over Again (Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time)
The Moon (The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask)
Cortex Castle (Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time)
The Moon Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)
The Dominion of Hate (Live A Live)
Suicide Mission (Mass Effect 2)
Firefly Lab (The Last of Us)
Utopia City (Spark the Electric Jester 3)
Lab Discovera (Kirby and the Forgotten Land)
The Everdawn Basin (Dust an Elysian Tail)
Promise me that you will do this countdown! It’s something I wanted for a long time!
Honestly Anjanath being the monster hunter rep for this countdown actually surprised me as I thought you would use Tigrex or Diablos but you surprised me with this.
Huge tip! While fossil fighters may be a rarer game now, you can easily pick up fossil fighters frontiers on the 3ds! Its not the cheapest 3ds but i like it as a pokemon clone. And me saying i like a pokemon clone as a huge pokenerd holds some weight. Its a really interesting game weird with a much deeper battle system then pokemon.
never thought i would see jude from microwave society in a joshscorcher video as an ad segway.
When you said "T-Rex with a head cold" I thought it would turn out to be ice powers. But no. It's snot.
“Holy fucking shit!, it’s a dinosaur!, Jesus Christ!, What the fuck?!?”
I didn't know you knew about jimmy and the pulsating mass! That game is so good
The Red Eye King from StarFox Adventures used to scare me when I got to that boss fight. Mostly because of the environment where you fight him.
Appreciate the Sega Jurassic Park Lost World arcade segment.
I have a suggestion for a countdown. Bosses that need a damn hug
Honorable mention for me:
Patchy the Cybersaur (Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue)
You gotta fight a cybernetically-enhanced Ankylosaurus that has missle launchers on it's back with a pair of boomerangs, 'nuff said.
Speaking of Prehistoric themes, have you guys ever heard of Dinosaur King?
Me! Me! Me! Me! I Have!
I expected Odo and Black Tyranno in the list... And I'm happy to see them!
There's my clever girl Anji!
Also good to see Fossil Fighter getting attention, really hope a new one happens dispite Frontier killing the series
Loved seeing Monster Hunter!
Also kinda surprised the Thunderjaw or Slaughterspine from Horizon didn't appear even as honorable mentions I mean sure they're robots but one is based on a T-Rex and the other on a Spinosaurus. Although if you don't count those a bosses, though they are bosses in Cauldrons one in Zero Dawn and the other in Forbbiden West, then fair enough that they weren't even mentioned (plus again I guess robots)
Not sure if mecha dinosaurs count also the one problem with the Horizon games a lot of the bosses aren't really bosses seeing as most of them do show up as regular enemies.
@@SnazzyjazzBro that is true you encounter them often and freely but technically the Thunderjaw is the 'boss' of Cauldron Zeta and story wise in Forbbiden West the Slaughter Spine is the 'boss' for Cauldron Gemini (and one other boss fight during Burning Shores) but I see your point, technically they aren't bosses.
I'll be honest remembering I used to play Fossil Fighters and Fossil Fighters Frontier makes me feel old
Wow a Prehistoric Bosses countdown without any from the Turok series. That's really thinking outside the box.
sounds like Oceanus was the main inspiration of that squid monster in the animated Kong Netflix show
Dang mentioning fossil fighters makes me wish for a new game.
That sneeze sfx had me in stitches
The added sneezing noises for the Monster Hunter entry had me wheezing
Seeing fossil fighters get some recognition today just makes me so happy!
I agree, Papa Scorcher. We need more than just T-Rex bosses. BRING ON THE SABERTOOTHS!
Edit: Also, I know it's a franchise that's not gonna get a whole lot of talk for ages, but can we get your opinion of the Top 10 Gauntlet bosses? Or, have you already done that?
