Description

Of the many worlds mankind discovered upon leaving the Terran system, some were inhabited by megasaurs or "great lizards." These creatures reminded many of the extinct dinosaurs from Terra's ancient past. This generic term covers all the species that one may encounter. From plant-eaters, to meat-eaters, to omnivores, bipedal or quadrupedal.

Some carnivorous megasaurs have been known to eat humans, but most are largely indifferent to such prey. Some have displayed strong territorial instincts and have been known to attack - and sometimes destroy - BattleMechs that stray into their territory.
