In Revenge of the Vexos, Dryoid was first seen when Hydron battles Baron Leltoy for the Haos Attribute Energies. It ends up battling Saint Nemus in the park near Baron's house. It starts off using Knuckle Vulcan firing at Nemus who blocks the attack using Borehole Reflection. Nemus then uses Float Shield and traps Dryoid in his ora. It then uses Ray Blade and slashes though Nemus's traps and destroys them. However, Dryoid gets trapped by Nemus's arrows. Hydron then opens Haos Spotting Out to zap Nemus of all his power. Nemus changes its attribute to Darkus and uses Darkness Force. The blast attacks Dryoid and knocks it out causing it to lose the round. In Round 2, Nemus uses Haos Force and Elemental Roar. The blast go ride to Dryoid who survives by using Mars Shield to block the attack. It then uses Murasame Arrow which sends Sparks Raining on Nemus.

Nemus uses Sparkly Arrow which Dryoid gets ready to counter. Nemus fires the blast which Dryoid destroys by using Murasame Blade. It charges towards Nemus who uses Sparkly Roa. It then uses Shou - Dragon Fly to survive Nemus attack and cuts right throw him knocking it out winning Dryoid the round. In Round 3 Baron throws out Piercian to help out. The two Haos Bakugan use Explode and Saint Projection. Piercian traps Dryoid in its shields and Nemus forms multiple copies to attack all together. Dryoid uses to cut though Piercian's shield and break it. It then uses Shou - Dragon Fly to get rid of all the clones Nemus formed. Finally it uses Geki - Dust Barrier to slash Piercian and Nemus with its sword causing them major damage. Hydron opens up Silent Land preventing Nemus and Piercian from moving. Dryoid takes advantage of that and slashes both Bakugan with its sword piercing though Nemus. After one final strike, Dryoid beats Nemus and Piercian causing the Haos energy to leave Nemus and go to the Vexos Motherpalace thus winning Dryoid the Brawl.

In Elfin On the Run, It appears when Hydron and Shadow Prove battle Marucho Marukura for the Aquos energy. Dryoid tags with MAC Spider to battle Preyas and Minx Elfin. It sits most of the first round out, but soon Shadow tells Hydron to help him out causing Dryoid to appear. Preyas uses Slumping Rocket and punches MAC Spider causing Dryoid's prater to be beaten. Dryoid then uses Murasame Blade and slashes Preyas from behind causing him to get knocked out. Elfin becomes enraged and uses Chatty Clutter giving her more power. Dryoid however is unaffected and slashes Elfin causing her to get knocked out and winning it Round 1. In Round 2, it sits out for part of the round again. But when MAC Spider gets trapped in Water Refrain, Dryoid comes in and uses Murasame Blade and tries to slash Preyas and Elfin. Marucho throws in Tripod Epsilon to help out. Tripod Epsilon uses Diamond Snail thus getting rid of Dryoid's blade while MAC Spider gets free from the water. Elfin and Preyas both change into Darkus. Marucho opens Forcement Wind causing Elfin and Preyas to take MAC Spider's power. The spider uses Tarantula Needle attacking all three Aquos Bakugan. Tripod Epsilon and Elfin uses Holly Snail and Super Moon-Bow causing Elfin to strike MAC Spider and defeat it. Preyas then uses Whirl Kick to kick Dryoid causing it to get defeated and lose Round 2. In Round 3 Dryoid uses Murasame Blade and charges for Preyas who uses Blue Stealth to turn invisible. Dryoid then uses Trance Sword which causes Preyas to turn visible much to Elfin's horror. MAC Spider then uses Spider Cannon at Preyas causing Elfin to use Hyper Bubble Shield to block. But the cannon gets rid of the shield and hits Elfin causing the Aquos energy to be taken and Elfin to be defeated. However Preyas gets enraged over Elfin's loss and vows to make the Vexos pay. Marucho throws out Tripod Epsilon causing Hydron to open up Land Pressure. However Tripod Epsilon uses Clear Snail allowing Land Pressure's effects to be flipped on it and MAC Spider making them unable to move. Preyas then uses Water Refrain causing their abilities to be sealed. Marucho then activates Holly Snail and Blue Tornado causing Preyas to get formed by Wind. He then uses his rage to punch Dryoid and MAC Spider hard causing them to get knocked out and lose the Brawl.

In All Or Nothing, It appears briefly alongside Farbros, Macubass, Aluze, Boriates and MAC Spider at the Vexos Motherpalace airport.

In BT: The Final Battle, Dryoid fought Cross Dragonoid, Helios MK2, and Magma Wilda at the Vexos Motherpalace to take the Pyrus energy. Wilda uses Big Rock and Drago uses Shooting Dragon with both blasts coming right at it. Dryoid uses Murasame Blade to counter both attacks then uses Shou - Dragon Fly breaking Drago's flames. Wilda uses Ares Ball and sends it right at Dryoid who uses Geki - Dust Barrier and counter the attack and sends wind at Drago, Helios and Wilda ultimately knocking Wilda out and eliminating Mira Fermin from the battle. Dryoid uses Retsu - Lightning which causes lighting bolts to shock Drago and Helios. Hydron then opens up Pyrus Spotting Out hoping to take Drago and Helios's power. Helios however uses Chaos Hyper Cannon while breaking the card and hurling Drago away. Drago uses Shooting Dragon landing a clear hit on Dryoid. However, due to the Vexos Trap Field, Dryoid remains uneffected by the fire while Drago and Helios's power's decrease. Spectra Phantom decides to test out his battle gear and equips Twin Destructor to Helios much to Dan Kuso and Hydron's surprise. Spectra uses his Battle Gear Ablity causing Dryoid huge damage. After being damaged by the Battle Gear to many times Dryoid gets knocked out and loses the round. In Round 2 Farbros takes Dryoid's place in the battle and fight Drago and Helios. Although, Helios's battle gear gives it a hard time, Zenoheld has Farbros absorbing all the power on the Trap Field and uses it to take out Drago and Helios and gets the Pyrus energy in the Bakugan Termination System thus winning Farbros and Dryoid the brawl.

In Volt's Revolt, after Volt Luster defected from the Vexos out of spite for the Alternative Weapon System, Hydron tracked Volt to his old town and Dryoid battled against Boriates. Boriates starts off using Prometheus Cannon which Dryoid counters using Murasme Blade and using the blade to get rid of the shots. It then uses Shou - Dragon Fly causing Boriates to punch Dryoid who barley misses. Dryoid gets a good hit in on Volt's Bakugan and uses Geki - Dust Barrier. Boraites dodges the attack and uses Gun Durance blasting Dryoid from behind and causing it to fall and use its blade to defend itself from Boriates blasts. Hydron opens Element Merge which takes away Boriates's power and gives it to Dryoid. It then uses Retsu - Lightning and nearly has the advantage over Dryoid, until Volt used Odin Shield to nullify all of Dryoid's Fusion Abilities, and prevent Hydron from using new Ability cards. This caused Dryoid to be defeated after Boriates hits it with Tempest Arrow. Dryoid later fights against Boriates in the second round. Despite using its strongest abilities such as Ray Blade and Knuckle Vulcan, all of it attacks are nullified due to the Custom Battle Ability that Volt used during the brawl. Boriates used Prometheus Cannon causing Dryoid to defend with Mars Shield. Eventually, Dryoid was defeated after Boriates finished it off with Olympus Cannon.

In Payback, Hydron and Dryoid battled against Lync Volan and Aluze after Lync was found having a copy of the alternative data to give to Alice Gehabich in Moscow. At first, Dryoid has hard time reaching Aluze due to the latter's expended flight, which costed Dryoid the first battle after being hit twice by Aluze's attack. Later after, Hydron used the Land Pressure Gate Card to immobilize Aluze, which caused the latter to fall, allowing Dryoid to win the second battle after it stabbed Aluze in the back. Later Hydron ordered it to go for Aluze's underbelly cannon, and despite Lync trying to stop Dryoid, the latter was able to defend itself. Dryoid succeed in stabbing the underbelly, which caused Aluze to fall on the ground, although Aluze attempted to attack Dryoid with its cannon, but Dryoid dodged it, and delivered the final blow to Aluze, ironically causing Aluze to be destroyed, and win the battle for Hydron.

In An Heir To Spare, Dryoid helps Hydron battle against Zenoheld. At first, he wins a battle, but is badly outmatched after Zenoheld uses Assail Farbros and is defeated after a prolonged fight.

In Ultimate Weapon, Dryoid and Rex Vulcan appear to help Hydron and Gus Grav break free from their prison cells. After the Alternative Weapon System is complete it blasts the mother palace cause Dryoid and Hydron to retreat from the palace.
