New traits and effects[]
- Evolution: Allows a Plant/Zombie to be placed on another Plant/Zombie to trigger a secondary ability. Restricted by Tribe or Trait in some cases.
- Untrickable: Makes a Plant/Zombie immune to the opposing side's Tricks.
- Dino-Roar: Triggers the Plant/Zombie's ability whenever you draw/conjure a card.

Trivia[]
- With this update, several cards previously classified as Tokens received buffs and were promoted to the Uncommon rarity. While they are now collectable from Colossal Fossils packs, the original source cards not only still make them, but also have those buffs included. These Tokens are:
- Puff-Shroom (From Shroom for Two and Mushroom Grotto)
- Pear Pal (From Pair of Pears)
- Haunting Ghost (From Haunting Zombie)
- Copter Commando (From Hail-a-Copter)
- Mystery Egg (From Hippity Hop Gargantuar)
- Sugary Treat and Healthy Treat (Both from Trick-or-Treater)
- Swabbie (From Barrel Roller Zombie and Imp-Throwing Gargantuar)
- This update also reverted Barrel of Deadbeards’s Make by assigning it to a separate Captain Deadbeard Token with the original 4 /3 stats. The 2 /4 “All Pirates have Strikethrough” event card has also renamed and redrawn to Captain Flameface.
- Captain Flameface has a unique piercing weapon in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 and therefore better represents the Strikethrough ability for the Event card.
- The fact that Colossal Fossils takes place in Hollow Earth under the ground in an area full of dinosaurs may be a reference to Jules Verne's classic science-fiction novel Journey to the Center of the Earth.
- Unlike the Galactic Gardens update, the premise is not given in a comic but instead it was given in the Inbox.
