We all know what a T. Rex is,
but what or who is D-Rex™?
Using advanced dino-robotics, we
recreated one of the greatest
predators of all time. But rather than
try and fit a 40 ft. long, 7 ton dinosaur
into this box, we sized him down just
a bit so he can become your
very own prehistoric pet.
WHO IS D-REX™? A DINOSAUR AS A PET?
Yes, it's true. D-Rex™ will play with his
owner just like a real pet. He walks on
his own, has a lifelike "personality" and
makes over 100 sounds & expressions.
But D-Rex™ is no lapdog! After all, he
was created in the image of a
Cretaceous carnivore. The only way to
“tame” this reptilian robot is to spend
some quality time with him. Pet him, play
with him or feed him his bone and you'll
have a happy dino on your hands.
But leave him to his own predatory ways
and he may get hungry for more than
your attention!
ARE YOU HIS MASTER
... OR PREY?™

WAYS TO PLAY
BECOME HIS MASTER
PET:
You can pet D-Rex™ on the head. He likes
this and will show you with happy sounds and by
wagging his tail.
D-Rex™ loves attention! Keep him happy by
playing with him or learn how to change his
behavior with the BONE CONTROLLER. But
ignore him and he'll start getting angry, whining
and begging for food while “hunting for his next
prey!”

to change his
behavior.
BONE CONTROLLER
ATTACK mode:
Use D-Rex™ to ferociously surprise your
friends and family! First press this button to get
D-Rex™ ready for the attack. Then press again and
he’ll launch forward, roaring and charging. Keep
pressing to continue his fierce attack.
GUARD mode:
First D-Rex™ will turn his head and scan
the room, giving you a few seconds to get away or sit
down. Once he stops scanning, he is ready to protect.
If he senses anyone moving in front of him, he will let
out a roar. If there are no intruders, D-Rex™ will turn
his head to re-scan the room every few minutes. He
will not react during
scanning. If no intruders
pass by for approximately
30 minutes, D-Rex™ will
get tired and take a dino nap
(see SLEEP instructions to wake him up).
FEED: He
chews when he
senses something
in his mouth. If his
mouth is closed, simply pull
it open and place his bone or some other item inside.
If D-Rex™ is full, he will make a spitting sound and
stop chewing.
98
SEEK mode:
D-Rex™ will first chirp to let you know
he's listening. Whistle or call him and he will chirp
again, then start walking toward you. Call him
multiple times and he will come closer, allowing you
to pet him. After awhile if he does not find you, he
may get tired and start panting. If you ignore him,
he may whine and
stop searching
for you.
QUESTION mode:
After you ask D-Rex™ a question,
press this button and he will answer by nodding
“YES” or shaking his head “NO”.
PRANK mode:
D-Rex™ has a “sense of humor” too!
If you feel like joking around, press
this button and he will
fart, burp, or roar.
After he makes one of
these sounds, make a
noise of your own and
he'll respond!
“YES”
“NO”

Check the batteries if D-Rex™ is not functioning
properly. If batteries are OK and he’s still not
working correctly, try switching him OFF,
pausing 5 seconds and turning him back ON.
LYING DOWN:
If D-Rex™ falls on his side, he
will stop moving and call for your attention. If you
don't pick him up, eventually he will take a dino
nap or fall asleep.
• Watch his tail to study his mood. Fast wagging
means he’s happy and playful. If he stops wagging his
tail, you'd better feed him soon!
• D-Rex™ is a restless dinosaur - he only listens when
he's not moving. If you whistle or call him while he is
still, he will turn his head and often give a response.
• D-Rex™ does not like having his nose pressed. If you
repeatedly touch his nose, he’ll back up and become
increasingly more aggressive.
• Feeding and petting D-Rex™ will keep him happy &
playful!
• D-Rex™ is a smart dinosaur, but if you give him too
many commands too quickly, he will only remember
the last one.
Press his NOSE
SENSOR to wake
him up. You can also
wake him up by
moving his On/Off
switch to “ON”.
SLEEP:
If you do not play with D-Rex™
for a few minutes, he will fall asleep
(with his eyes open).
