Overview

Dino Kid is a young, yellow-skinned child who appears crying, wearing a white wrinkled shirt, blue jeans, black shoes and a distinctive red dinosaur hat with eyes, spikes and teeth. He was kidnapped by the main antagonist, The Deer, and locked in a guarded cave. Rescuing all four children is central to the story and reduces the nights needed to survive.
