Do other species have ancient gigantic extinct species on their planets too? Like maybe gargantuan mammals on Moghes, or supersized crocodiles on Jargon IV, or maybe giant penguins on Adhomai (the last one being a joke.)

Do you think this is a motherfucking game?

I like to assume that unathi had giant trex/raptor like monsters and rode them. But that's just a theory.

Giant scalies riding on even bigger scalies. I can only dream of this horrible war machine.

Actually, yes, I do think this is a game, wanna fite about it? Two obrezs, seven paces.

As you probably know, a lot depends on how the world changed. Mammals, for example, started as tiny dinosaurs that developed a warm-blooded adaptation, which allowed them to be very active at night, as opposed to most of their cold blooded cousins who needed to hibernate when it was colder to avoid dying. When that meteor supposedly hit, it allowed them to survive the following ice age and rest that followed it (while wiping out most of big cold blooded animals). All descendants of those animals are called mammals.

Because of that hereditary element, no, there are no dinosaurs, mammals, fish or birds on other planets. However, evolutionary forces would still apply on all planets that have life. So, I think it's safe to assume that life would fill every possible niche, be it that of fish, birds, ground animals, insects or something else, within the realm of what possible. So, while you wouldn't classify Unathi big lizard like animals as dinosaurs, there is a big chance something similar could appear. So, in extension, you can call the 'Mogues Flying Things' simply as Birds.

If you want Adhomai penguins, sure, go ahead. As long is they have at least semi-arctic regions on that planet now or in the past (for fossils). Also, just to note, I am not a biologist and I could be butchering this topic badly.

Sort if but it's a misconception to say they were "tiny dinosaurs which evolved to be warm blooded". It's more that the proto-mammals shared a sort of common ancestor with dinosaurs in the form of amphibian like creatures which diverged into the proto-reptile and proto-mammal.

The proto-mammal looked 'reptile like' but wasnt really one (as reptiles didn't exist yet).

Yeah, I was basically giving the version for kiddies, because tiny dinosaurs sounds better than proto-mammals. Ohh, and birds developed from pterodactyls, as opposed to ground based dinosaurs. A common misconception among the scientific community. Fucking scientists, can't get their facts straight.

Just as Bokaza-kun said. Life finds a way; there may not have been specific dinosaurs but life had to have begun from somewhere. I just have not included pieces on prehistoric Moghes' life because it wouldn't be directly relevant to players or the game.
