Dinosaurs!

[Azzy]

Okay, since we all know that James loves dinosaurs, it's a safe bet that there are dinosaurs somewhere in Golarion. My question is: Where? Where can a poor Pathfinder find dinosaurs?

[Jal Dorak]

I think I have heard it discussed elsewhere that Golarion has a "Lost World" of sorts, away from the Inner Sea continents. Similar to Maztica in FR, but Paizo style.

Let's see...

Realm of the Mammoth Lords in Avistan
Mwangi Expanse in Garund
The Lost Continent of Sarusan
The Vaults of Orv

And that's just without physically consulting my CS. I'm pretty sure there's one more place...

Maztica = North America = Arcadia in Golarion.

Lost World = Australia = Sarusan in Golarion.

some pockets of the darklands has a land of the lost type feeltoo

I thought they were in the Mwangi expanse? No?

The two places that I know for SURE have dinosaurs are the Mwangi Expanse and in a large underground vault deep under the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. There's also some on Mediogalti Isle, if I remember correctly. The Beyond that, you might see the odd dinosaur here and there elsewhere, perhaps serving as guardians for a particularly rich and eccentric noble's estate or in a big city's zoo or circus.

Thank you guys for your answers. For some reason, I wasn't expecting the Mwangi Expanse to have dinosaurs.

That's pretty spot-on for typical folklore and modern mythology though...when explorers searched in the hope of finding living dinosaurs they were trekking in places like the Amazon and the Congo.

Cowboys vs Allosaurus (with a Styracosaurus guest spot.) where can you go wrong?

See?

And you can fit so many more in the expanses of the Mwangi than you can in some little valley.

All that is missing is a stand in for Ray Harryhausen.
Or is there one already hidden in the text that I overlooked?
:-P
