Danger Pack Figure Guide
Lystrosaurus Danger Pack
Lystrosaurus is not a dinosaur but a tusked, pig-sized relative of mammals, and one of the great survivors in the history of life. In Jurassic World Epic Evolution it comes in the Guanlong vs Lystrosaurus Danger Pack, a two-pack from the third wave in 2024, as a small reddish-brown figure with two tusks. Here is what the figure looks like, how Lystrosaurus survived the end of the Permian, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Survivor Report: The Great Dying
About 252 million years ago, most life on Earth was wiped out. Lystrosaurus made it through.
Its fossils in Antarctica helped show that the southern continents were once joined together.
What Is Danger Pack?
Danger Pack is the smaller, battery-free assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line, the 2024 follow-up to Dino Trackers. The figures have movable joints and a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App, but no sounds or motorised attacks.
Lystrosaurus came in the third Danger Pack wave of 2024 in a two-pack with Guanlong, alongside Apatosaurus, Gallimimus and a repack of the Velociraptor. Wave 3 boxes carry Jurassic World Chaos Theory branding from the Netflix series.
Paint and Colours

About Lystrosaurus
Lystrosaurus was named in 1870 by Edward Drinker Cope. The name means shovel lizard, after its blunt, shovel-like face.
It lived from the latest Permian into the Early Triassic, about 255 to 248 million years ago, and was about 1 m long, roughly the size of a pig.
Lystrosaurus was a dicynodont, a plant-eating synapsid. Synapsids are the group that later gave rise to mammals, so Lystrosaurus is a distant cousin of us.
