Mosataur

The Mosataur is a now extinct species of aquatic sapients that emerged during the late Halloy Era of Arthe's history. The Mosataur came to dominate Arthe's inland seas after the extinction of rival species before the mysterious Mass Extinction event that concluded the Halloy Era. The Mosataur favored shallow waters. The Mosataur, as indicated by one complete fossil, was crafting necklaces of shells and fishing spears. The mangled nature of the remains indicates some violent force was involved in the extinction event. Though most remains are not in such condition and seem to indicate that some decline in productive food growth played a role. Mosataurs have had various depictions in the past, due to being nothing but fossilized bones today. An early depiction had a crest along the back but this proved to be a miss identified bit of cartridge. Mosataur appears to have constantly looked down upon the sea floor making travel on land unlikely. Like other species from the Halloy Era they have captured the imagination of modern Arthe.
==Notes==
Mosataur's where already an ancient species by the time the Rex appears in the fossil record. The two inhabited the planet together during the tail end of the Halloy Era alongside early Lamiaoids.
