Dinosaur
Dinosaurs are a catagory of creatures of the Clade Dinosauria which first emerged around 250 Million Years ago in the Triassic period.
Dinosaurs came to be the dominant form of large scale land dwelling life forms across all of earth's major continents through the Jurassic and Cretaceous period. Dinosaurs were and are the biggest animals ever to live on land. They are regarded as awesome for several reasons. They appeal to the sensational because they're "monsters", but unlike most they actually did exist. It's also been postulated that dinosaurs were the inspiration for dragons (with people discovering dinosaur bones and making up stories about them, though that is debatable).
Most lines of dinosaurs, however were extinguished during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event some 66 million years ago. The only survivors went on to evolve into modern-day birds. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
