| - The Mind-swap Menace is the fourth book in the Astrosaurs series and introduces Dasta and Ardul, two coelophysis who are the book's main villains. The cover art is of Dasta using his mind-swapper on Teggs while blue sparks surround the two dinosaurs. In The Mind-swap Menace, Teggs, Arx, Gipsy, and Iggy are startled when the Sauropod almost crashes into a broken carnivore space prison. Teggs and Iggy travel there so that they can install a special beacon to warn other DSS ships away. However, they are ambushed and captured by Dasta and Ardul, two prisoners that were left behind in the prison. Dasta, who happens to be a genius and master inventor, uses his mind-swapper to switch bodies with Teggs and swaps Ardul's body with Iggy's. They then trick Arx and Gipsy into taking them onto the Sauropod while the real Teggs and Iggy are left behind. However, Arx and Gipsy soon notice that their "friends" seem to have changed...
