If you already have a dino-themed build, feel free to share it. It doesn't have to be brand new, just fit the theme of the event.

For anyone who participates, make sure to give instructions for where to find the build since we won't have time to go searching. The easier it is to find, the better your chances of being noticed. It doesn't matter how good your build is, if it's not easy to find we'll never look at it.

Welcome to the jungle, we’ve got fun and games – and dinosaurs! The Dino Tamer and Jurassic Jungle biome are now live!

The Prehistoric Pack is still available for anyone who wants to dress their Dino Tamer for success, rock out on the back of a laser wielding dino mount, or add a jungle flair to their Club World with two new terraformers of their very own.

The Dino Tamer is also available à la carte directly from the Trove Store with Credits or by using a Class Coin! Learn more about the Dino Tamer by reading our Class Overview.
