thumb|300px|right|Human Hunter Intro Braving a steep canyon side as the Hunter the player has to escape an angry gang of Pachycephalosaurus as they attack with their rock-hard skulls. A character who is effective at long range. His appearance resembles the figurine of Dieter Stark. The hunter has an arsenal of weapons from tranquilizers, nerve gas, flamethrowers, high caliber full auto rounds, and flares. As well as that, a grapple shooter is used as well to hang over holes, and from the mouths of hungry predators. The hunter is probably the human the compy evades in the last level in the caverns.

Velociraptor
thumb|300px|right|Raptor Intro As the Velociraptor the player will have to ward off a myriad of prehistoric beasts fighting to protect their territory from the chaos created by man's arrival.

Tyrannosaurus
thumb|300px|right|T. rex Intro As the T. rex players will have to master various attack maneuvers to defend themselves against ambush attacks from Velociraptors, Commandos and one on one battles with other larger beasts. The game play is a bit more brutish than the other dinosaurs, and sometimes less control is easily available. Also a final boss. The tyrannosaur is a bit more difficult to control because of its mass.

 * Velociraptor
 * Stegosaurus

Level 2: Force Of Nature
The forest ruins.
