Nice summaries, I like that all the MOTW are based off of Japanese/Asian folklore. On another note, here's the rest of Gnaw's history (which also finishes off the main Dino Spirits Cures in general):

The next day, Gnaw was heading back to Kota’s place after an errand when suddenly he was hit with a surprise attack. He recognized his attacker as Yogantsume, a Dracorex Dino Spirit that used to be part of the Dragon King’s personal army. Yogantsume explained that he was the one who allowed the Bifrost to enter Dino World in the first place and betrayed the king for the chance to fight for what he considered to be the stronger side.

Angered by this, Gnaw attacked the traitor but was easily brushed aside and eventually was forced to retreat into the woods. The others eventually arrived to help but didn’t fair much better. Furious at his own powerlessness Gnaw suddenly charged into the fray, taking a hit that was meant for the Precure.

Kota screamed out his name when suddenly an intense light began to shine from Gnaw’s Power Buckler as his Tyrannosaurus Kyoryupon finally returned to him. Turning into Rentaro, Gnaw struggled to his feet and thanked his friends, saying it was his turn to protect them. Slotting the Kyoryupon into the center of the Buckler he suddenly transformed into a Precure himself.

Yogantsume laughed at this, saying that it was a nice trick but Gnaw still couldn’t beat him. Gnaw responded by sending him flying with his new Rex Drill. Suddenly, the Kyoryupon belonging to Tobi, Gin, Zel, and Mosa suddenly flew towards him.

Accepting their help, Gnaw unleashed a barrage of Soul Bursts on the dracorex before finally reverting back to his main form and finishing things off with a Chomping Laser. Yogantsume was forced to retreat, swearing revenge. After returning to normal, Gnaw was suddenly tackled by Kota who told him he was awesome. That night, a party was held at the Fossil Museum to celebrate the arrival of the team’s fifth member.

Later, the third and final Elder Spirit was located and the team set off to investigate. At first they couldn’t see anything but suddenly Yumi noticed an unusual cloud formation and went in to investigate, discovering a massive palace hidden in the sky.

Upon arrival, they suddenly heard the voice of the Elder Spirit of the Sky who declared that humans were not allowed inside their sanctuary. The Precure tried to protest and the Sky King offered a compromise: Mitsuki, Kanna, and Gnaw would be allowed to enter the palace but the others must remain behind. Kota was annoyed by this but reluctantly accepted.

As it turned out the Sky King was actually a Queen, a female Hatzegopteryx named Soratsubasa who seemed to have a rather childish attitude. She asked why she should help them, saying that it was only dumb luck that the Precure were able to find this place so why should she be worried about the Bifrost?

Suddenly, a cloaked figure approached and bowed before the queen, revealing himself as Yogantsume. The Precure immediately went on the defensive but the dracorex claimed that he was a spy sent to infiltrate the Bifrost from within. Mitsuki and Gnaw didn’t trust him for a second but Soratsubasa seemed to be convinced and told the Precure that they were to leave her kingdom by morning.

Meanwhile, Kota got fed up with waiting and decided to sneak in, dragging Yumi along with her. Suddenly they heard a voice and hid in a corner to see Yogantsume enter a room and contact Gossa. He told the Mammoth King that the plan was nearly complete, he would drop the Sky Palace over Kyoryuhara and therefore eliminate both the Precure and one of the Elder Spirits in one fell swoop, allowing the Bifrost to establish their empire on the ruins.

The girls quickly confronted him but Yogantsume said they were too late. The others arrived just in time to feel the ground rumble beneath their feet, looking out the window to see the castle in the grip of a massive Saurrow. The group transformed with Kota and Mitsuki shifting into Microraptor Soul and Onycho Soul. Picking up Kanna and Gnaw, the group flew to the top of the castle to confront the Saurrow.

Yogantsume leapt onto the Saurrow’s shoulder, ordering it to plunge the castle down into the city below. Short on time, the Precure decided to combine their power and create a new finisher called the Mesozoic Strike. This staggered the Saurrow but wasn’t enough to defeat it or stop their now rapid descent.

Suddenly Yogantsume and the Saurrow were struck by a massive bolt of lightning and saw that Soratsubasa had joined the fray. Furious at the dracorex’s deception she let loose with another Talon Bolt, wiping out the Saurrow and sending Yogantsume flying off into the distance. Using her powers to stop the castle from falling the Sky Queen then thanked the Precure, saying her opinion of them has improved somewhat. The group headed for home while Soratsubasa departed for Dinosaur World in order to replenish her strength.

A while after that, Kota brought Gnaw with her on one of her father’s digs where they stumbled upon a set of bones they’d never seen before. Overjoyed at the thought of discovering a new species, Kota furiously began digging.

Suddenly, Gnaw grabbed her and leaped away as a blast struck the hole. They saw Yogantsume there who smirks and said that Gnaw had gotten soft since he started hanging out with humans. The two transformed and fought with him but found themselves outmatched. The dracorex then aimed his next attack directly at Kota, when Gnaw predictably jumped out to protect her they were both suddenly knocked down into a ravine, waking up in an underground cavern.

As they walked, the two started talking about how far they’d both come since their first meeting several months ago and eventually Gnaw finally confessed his feeling for Kota, saying she was the most fearless, incredible person he’d ever met and that he was glad that he came here.

Kota responded in kind, saying that becoming a Precure was the best thing that could have happened to her as it let her meet Gnaw and so many other friends she probably never would have heard of otherwise. She went on to say that she knows it sounds selfish but a part of her kind of wishes this never had to end.

Gnaw smiled and told her it doesn’t have to. He said that, now that Kanna had overcome the power of the Black Dragon and regained her confidence, he was thinking of letting her take over as the new Guardian while he lived out the rest of his days in the human world. To seal the promise, he suddenly kissed her.

Kota returned the kiss and the two shared a moment when suddenly their Gao Pact and Power Buckler began to glow. Meanwhile back on the surface, Yumi and the others were batting against Yogantsume but even with their new powers, they were struggling against the dracorex and his new Saurrow.

Suddenly a huge blast of flame erupted from the ravine as Kota and Gnaw rejoined the others, now clad in their own Draco Forms. Using a new combination attack called Cretaceous Calamity, they plowed straight through the Saurrow while Yogantsume just narrowly escaped being purified himself.

Later at the Fossil Museum, a new exhibit was unveiled revealing the new fossil Kota had discovered, which she named the Kodarenasaurus.

After the Black Dragon’s defeat, Kanna was appointed as the new Guardian while Gnaw insisted on remaining behind in the human world. The Dragon King accepted this but said that if Gnaw was no longer a Guardian then he must relinquish his Power Buckler. Kota protested this but Gnaw said it was ok on one condition: that the Dragon King turn him into a human.

The King agreed and Gnaw became Rentaro Katsuki permanently as Kanna left for Dino World with the Dragon King. The next day at school, Kota formally introduced Rentaro to everyone as her boyfriend.

10 years later, Kota and Rentaro were married and worked as a team of paleontologists, occasionally joined on digs by Itsushiro and their young daughter Toka.
