Line 148:
* ''[[Exalted]]'', being a setting whose content is decided entirely by [[Rule of Cool]] and [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]], has gigantic "Tyrant Lizards" that look remarkably like ''T. rex'''es. Presumably due to ''Tyrannosaurus'' being Latin for "Tyrant Lizard". It also has the [[Dinosaurs Are Dragons|Dragon Kings]], which are roughly human-sized sentient dinosaurs who wear armor, can learn to breathe fire, and have enormous crystal clubs with laser blades to hit you with if you piss them off.
* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'' Fantasy's Lizardmen are a dinosaur race, their basic troops being "Saurus" and them using "Stegadons" and "Carnosaurs" as mounts and war engines. There are also "Cold Ones," Velociraptor-like things used by the Lizardmen and Dark Elves for cavalry. The beasts eat everything, so the Dark Elves cover themselves in poison to fool the lizards.
*** Also in the Realms, [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/eberron/images/a/a2/Battletitan.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120129004050 the mighty battletitan] is a war mount created via nonmagical crossbreading (much like mules are) combining the ferocity of carnivorous dinosaurs with the durability of armored herbivores. They appear in ''Eberron'' too, where the process used to breed them was invented by actual dragons.
** The Cold Ones are mentioned (literally or metaphorically) to be dragon-kin...the ones the Dark Elves use also are subterranean, can live in the cold climate of the Dark Elves' territory, and, IIRC, sweat poisonous goo, which might make them more of a freaky lizard-horse than a dinosaur.
* A lot of [[Death World]]s in ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' are covered in dinosaur-esque creatures, and the Tyranids themselves are also somewhat dinosaur-y, at least in terms of teeth - the Termagaunts, especially, look like an odd cross between Armadillos, Zerg Hydralisks and ''Velociraptors''.
