Dinosaur/Legends

Dinosaurs were ancient reptiles that were extinct long before Human civilization emerged. However, the giant reptiloids of Trammis III, such as the akorec, were often compared to them, or even referred to as being dinosaurs.
==Behind the scenes==
The Acklay, seen in the Geonosian arena in Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, is partly dinosaur-inspired, as George Lucas specifically requested an arena creature that combined a praying mantis with a velociraptor.
The Tiss'shar have also been explicitly referred to as "Therapods," a term for a group of primarily carnivorous bipedal dinosaurs.Ultimate Alien Anthology
The Vurk bear a resemblance to the crested hadrosaur dinosaur Parasaurolophus, while Nosaurians closely resemble the Ceratopsidae group.
The design of the Umbaran starfighter was inspired by the cervical vertebra of the dinosaur Apatosaurus.
