The European DINO Attack sets are slightly different from their US counterparts.

==Characters==
*'''Shadow''' is the most driven member of the team. His home city was devastated in the 1st dino attack, and although he survived, his neighborhood was ruined. He has been in every international hot spot, preferring to use the Sonic Screamer first and worry about the dino's intentions later, causing him to fight a lot with Specs.
*'''Digger''', A famous [[paleontologist]], goes where no dinosaur hunter ever will and goes deeper than others in his search for bones. His knowledge of dinos and aim with his Cosmotronic Ray make him a valuable addition to the team, despite looking for peril. In some versions of the story he's told to do this by the TLF (True LEGO Fan) of the time.
*'''Specs''' is a [[chemist]], [[biologist]], and [[nuclear physics|nuclear physicist]]. He invented most of the equipment. He also quarrels with Shadow a lot. Nonetheless he played a huge part in saving Shadow when his neighborhood was destroyed. He is also the team leader.
*'''Viper''' is no scientist and was drafted onto the team. Hence He always calls the Dinos scales. He thinks the best way to beat a dino is use what its name means against it. He gets along well with the rest of the team and "Strike first, strike fast, and get away clean" is his motto.

*The Raptor should be much smaller, as should the mutant lizard.
