Biography[]
The Shen Minosaur was created from the negative emotions of Masaaki Shiina, based on his regret over abandoning his dream of becoming a film director and follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a firefighter.
In order to force the Kishiryu Dimevolcano to side with the Druidons, Wizeru abducted a child the Kishiryu had befriended and tasked the Shen Minosaur with guarding it. However, the Ryusoulgers were able to track down their location, defeat the Minosaur, and rescue the child.
Later, after the Shen Minosaur grew into a giant, Wizeru had it create an illusion of a female Kishiryu resembling Dimevolcano in order to make Dimevolcano fall in love with the illusion and side with the Druidons. However, the Ryusoulgers use their Ryusouls to blow the illusion away. Ryusoul Red then summons Kishiryu Oh to fight the Minosaur, but the Minosaur cloaks itself in illusions of Koh's friends and causes Koh to not be able to bring himself to attack it. However, after the illusion shifts to Melt, Koh finally musters up the courage to attack it and destroys the Minosaur.
Personality[]
Shen Minosaur was a ruthless, destructive, power-hungry, misanthropic and arrogant Minosaur, who would stop at nothing to get rid and murder the Ryusoulgers and serve his masters the Druidon Tribe and help them in their plans of taking over the Earth and totally exterminating the humankind. He was also shown to be slightly cunning and kidnapped Haruto, helding the boy hostage in order to blackmail the Dimevolcano into joining Wizeru. He also later tried to trick the Dimevolcano into joining the Druidons, by transforming himself into the female Kishiryu. However, it can be easily said that Shen Minosaur wasn't smart at all, since he only followed the orders of Wizeru and Kureon and didn't create any plans himself at all. However, it wasn't his fault at all because he, in fact lacked any intelligence and will of volunteer actions.
