Megafauna

On most planets where humanoids evolve or appear, megafauna is almost nonexistent as they are rapidly hunted to extinction by the new top predators and do not have time to develop way of protecting themselves. As technology advances, more and more megafauna disappears, leaving only the most useful animals for the local humanoids and those who have evolved natural ways of defending themselves as the remaining fauna.
Luckily, on many uninhabited worlds, megafauna still flourishes and can be studied by xenobiologists and potentially new venture capitalists looking for new sources of meat, leather and who knows what else. While the following basically ancient Terran creatures, many worlds feature creatures remarkably similar to these in their ecosystems.
