LEGO Jurassic World Guide Console Characters & Vehicles

Dinosaurs

Dinosaur Abilities

One of the best things about LEGO Jurassic World is that you get to be a dinosaur, if you want. You do this several times as part of the main story, and you also gain playable dinosaur characters as you collect Amber Bricks. These bricks unlock dino DNA for the Dinosaur Customizers in the Visitor and Innovation Centers and at the Dino Spawners in the hubs.

As you might expect, dinosaurs can do some things that humans can’t. Here’s a quick rundown of the abilities you can gain when you play as one of these fearsome prehistoric creatures.

Ability	Description
Roar	Creatures with this ability can break both Amber LEGO and “dinosaur strength” objects.
Pounce	Velociraptors can use raptor rails to leap great heights and access higher areas.
Scent Tracking	Velociraptors can pick up a scent and follow its trail.
Charge	Dinosaur can ram through cracked LEGO barriers using its head.
Tail-Slam	Dinosaur can shatter cracked LEGO barriers using its tail.
Goo Spit	Dilophosauruses can spit venom goo at black LEGO objects to destroy them.
Rope/Vine Slash	Velociraptors can slice through LEGO vines.
Flight	Pteranodons and Dimorphodons can fly.
Swim	The Mosasaurus can swim.
Dino Strength	Some large dinosaurs can destroy large LEGO objects.
Quake	Very large dinosaurs like the Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus can stomp and break “quake LEGO” objects—i.e., cracked ground sections.
Camouflage	Indominus Rex can use camouflage to move stealthily.
Tiny Access	Compsognathus (or Compy, for short) can move through special tiny passages called “Compy Tubes.”
Dino Switches	Some dinosaurs can bite and pull special wall switch-handles to activate mechanisms.
