Exodites with Dinosaurs.[6]

Dinosaur is a human term that describes various reptilian-like life forms that inhabit the galaxy.[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 worlds, where they are often among the main predators.[1] The word "dinosaur" is derived from the name that was given to the prehistoric animals that lived on ancient earth, long before mankind.[1][2]

Eldar Exodites are known to ride giant lizards bearing a striking resemblance into dinosaurs into battle.[5]
