- Non-standard. "Dinosaur" as a modern concept encapsulates a very broad selection of drastically differing varieties of animal, of which their only similarity to each other is being extinct. Given a fantastical environment without this shared commonality, "dinosaurs" are not practically spoken of under a blanket terminology. Speaking broadly of "large reptilian monsters," one could be talking about any number of fanciful beasts, many of which would not be dinosaurs by any stretch of the definition.
Some cultures group theropods with other large terrestrial avians, such as ostriches. Northern cultures may not distinguish significantly between small pterosaurs and birds. Ceratopsians share more in common behaviorally and in physical description with animals like rhinoceroses, and would never be lumped into a single grouping with an animal like a tyrannosaur, should both be encounterable.
That said, for the sake of clarity, and as an accessible reference guide, an index is provided here, for finding specific glossarium entries, organized by the real-world scientific (or common) name of the dinosaur. Other prehistoric, non-dinosaur fauna are also included here for convenience.
This is a directory of dinosaurs, and other pre-historic creatures. This list is organized alphabetically, by the real-world Latin binomials of the animals. For each entry there is the animal's given name in Midal Common, and a link to the associated Glossarium entry. Included also are published misspellings and out-dated terminology included in other table-top gaming media, for the purposes of stat translation.

"Wolf, Dire" ‡
- informal, see: Aenocyon
† "Raptor" is a term in-world which may be used to refer to any predatory bird species, as was its common usage in real-life prior to the term's usage to refer to certain Theropod dinosaurs. For relevant Glossarium entry, see Raptor.
‡ "Dire wolf" is a valid in-world term, but for a different creature, significantly different from the authentic, prehistoric Aenocyon. "Dire wolf" is used as an informal term for this creature, which is physiologically not significantly distinctive from Canis lupus. For the in-world Dire Wolf, see Wolf, Dire entry in the Glossarium.
