Anime

It was in the dinosaur card folio that Jonathan was selling in Downtown Runaround, and Rex briefly summoned him to check if the cards were real. However, the Alpha Gang stole the book and brought the cards to Dr. Z.

In Alpha's Zeta Point, Ceratosaurus' card was accidentally activated by Helga's vacuum, which led to him running across Zeta Point with no means of escape until he was cornered by Terry, Spiny, and Tank, Terry defeating him with Neck Crusher, but the D-Team had arrived and Rex managed to grab the card. After a cliffhanger of their dinosaur getting defeated and stolen, Rex summoned him to scare off the Alpha Gang and allow the D-Team to escape, but he was captured by Dr. Z again. His card was later again retrieved along with the D-Team's main dinos, and he was summoned along with them to even the odds in their battle to escape the Zeta Point, where he managed to defeat Styracosaurus without a Move Card. After that, he was recalled and taken back to the D-Lab.

Another Ceratosaurus was seen in Carnival of Chaos in the Alpha Gang's amusement park, but it went berserk due to a lack of food when its control device failed. It was eventually returned to a card by a pet-sized Chomp, Ace, or Paris knocking off its control device and was retrieved by an Alpha Droid.

Later, Rex summoned the first Ceratosaurus again to help to fight against the Black T-Rex, but he was defeated along with Megaraptor after it kicked them away.

Trivia

• Ceratosaurus is the first dinosaur from the Jurassic Period that was shown in the anime.
  • At 10 episodes in and being one of the three smallest dinosaurs so far, it's ironic considering that the theme song has the lyrics, "Jurassic giants at your command".
• In the DS Game, Laura used a Ceratosaurus to battle against Max and Rex.
