'''Giant Reptiles''', sometimes referred to as '''"Dinosaurs"''', are a relatively common lifeform throughout the galaxy, especially on [[death world]]s and [[feral world]]s where they are often the main predator type. A giant reptile typically ranges from the size of a [[Bike]] to that of a [[Land Raider]], is possessed of considerable strength and ferocity, and has vicious natural weapons ranging from sharp bony protrusions and claws to jaws capable of ripping open the hull of a [[Rhino]] APC. It is quite common for the worlds from which the [[Space Marines]] recruit to have such lethal predators stalking the inhospitable terrain, and for young aspirants to prove themselves by slaying one of these immense beasts and taking a trophy to prove his ascent to manhood. Needless to say, few make it back alive.
