Sir Lazuli wrote: XD of course pterosaurs aren’t dinosaurs. I should have been more clear; I was using the term “dinosaur” in the general sense to describe extinct archosaurs. I thought about making the distinction but decided most people know “dinosaur” as just a broader term. Though I guess this is coming down to splitting hairs. Here’s what I meant:

I infer from the quote that pterosaurs exist in Arda, and are nearly extinct.

Since pterosaurs exist, archosaurs are proven to be a thing in Arda, and are nearly extinct similar to our world.

Since there are ancient giant reptiles that are all but extinct, it follows that true dinosaurs just might be a thing in Arda.

If we are nitpicking, let me point out your absolutely atrocious spelling:

“Ptereeeosaureees” should be “Pterosaurs”

“Dinosaureees” should be “Dinosaurs”

“Reeeptiles” should be “Reptiles”

“Lizareeeds” should be “Lizards”

I hope to see improvement in future and try not to rest your finger on the “e” key too much while you are typing.

Are there any archosaurs left in our world?
