#REDIRECT [[File:Exodite Dinosaurs.png|thumb|300px|Exodites with Dinosaurs.{{Fn|6}}]]'''Dinosaur''' is a human term that describes various reptilian-like life forms that inhabit the [[galaxy]].{{Fn|1}} The term does not imply a biological relationship between different creatures, but rather reptilian similarities in appearance. Apart from that, dinosaurs can vary tremendously in size and form. Larger dinosaurs are especially common on [[death world]]s, where they are often among the main predators.{{Fn|1}} The word "dinosaur" is derived from the name that was given to the prehistoric animals that lived on [[Terra]], long before mankind.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} [[Eldar]] [[Exodites]] are known to ride giant lizards bearing a striking resemblance into dinosaurs into battle.{{Fn|5}} ==Known creatures referred to as dinosaurs==*[[Archaeosaur]]{{Fn|2}}*[[Carnosaurus]]{{Fn|4}}*'''Dinosaur'''{{Fn|3}}*[[Megasaurus]]{{Fn|4}}*[[Megadon]]s ==See Also==*[[List of Fauna]] ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader]], p. 210*{{Endn|2}}: ''[[Battle of the Archaeosaurs (Short Story)]]'' by [[Barrington J.
