Gunfighter Dinos[1] are green dinosaurs in Dino Mines wearing cowboy garbs and wielding two guns. When they see Spyro, they will fire his guns at him continually. They will stop shooting Spyro when Spyro is either defeated or when he can no longer see him.
Before the Gunfighter Dinos shoot Spyro, they will flip their guns in the air, and flip them again if they successfully shoot Spyro. There are three types of this enemy: the normal gunslinging green dinos, blue dynamite throwing dinos, and a special dark green, red hat wearing dino that is worth a Skill Point if shot in the Agent 9 area.
Gunfighter Dinos also appear in the epilogue of the original game, where they are robbing Moneybags, with a caption that says "The Bailey Gang finds a new target."
In the Reignited Trilogy, the Gunfighter Dinos now wear brown shirts with a visible belt for their pistol pouches, have boots, and the hat also covers their eyes.

Trivia[]
- They along with the TNT Dinos share a resemblance to the Lava Lizards seen in Skelos Badlands from Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
- An egg model titled Object 764 - Dino Mines Egg was originally going to be used in Dino Mines presumably for them & TNT Dinos to hatch out from. Though the texture for the egg model appears different in the final, the cracked shell fragments also use this object ID seem to use the same left-over texture the aforementioned eggs that the Lava Lizards spawn from in Skelos Badlands from Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!.
- A beta screenshot of Dino Mines shown in the SCEE review build of Spyro: Year of the Dragon seen in an issue of PS Max further shows that their egg model was originally textured red like in Skelos Badlands from Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! before settling on a different texture for the egg model in the final.
