Added 2020-02-28 19:46:37 +0000 UTC

Dinosaurs, or behemoths, are among the oldest reptiles on Casar. Although travelers who've gone beyond the crushing waves of Warna and the Omeria tell tales of thick jungles infested with the great lizards, the majority of Omerian dinosaurs appear on Elsath, parts of eastern Odonburg, and on large, tropical islands in Warna.

The most common dinosaurs seen in these regions are the triceratops which are used as beasts of burden in Tothijan, Odonburg, and the tyrannosaurus rexes used by Dorethellian raiders as mounts.

Dilophosaurus

The dilophosaurus is a bipedal dinosaur that stands roughly 5 to 6 feet tall. Its key identifying features are a pair of thick, colorful crests that rund own the length of its head and a frill-neck that it will expand in order to frighten its prey. Dilophosauri spit a paralyzing venom which allows it to eat its prey alive.

Quetzalcoatlus

With wingspans twenty-to-thirty feet in length, quetzalcoatli are among the largest flying creatures in all of Omeria. Despite their large, somewhat-terryfing presence, they are mostly scavengers, preferring to pick off smaller creatures with their 6-foot long, pelican-like bills. Dorithellian raiders sometimes train the quetzalcoatli as alchemist's fire bombers. During the Siege of Naqqad in 1034, six such quetzalcoatli were used to destroy large portions of the city.
