* ''46 Okunen Monogatari: The Shinkaron'' (the obscure UsefulNotes/PC98-exclusive precursor to the way better known SNES game ''VideoGame/EVOSearchForEden'') has the player talking to a musical dinosaur called Sugiyaman (named after the game's composer Koichi Sugiyama). There are also some fictional dinosaur species made up by the creators that lead to speculatuve evolutionary paths (like Gorgon, Reptillian Alien, Goblin, a [[Franchise/DragonBall Shenlong]]-esque Asian Dragon, a Franchise/{{Godzilla}} -esque {{Kaiju}} and others) which often end up as a Main/NonStandardGameOver.

** The fictional prehistoric species begin with the second chapter (the Age of Amphibians), with the caption "This character was made specifically for this game and doesn’t exist." appearing ingame. In the level's end you can evolve into a primitive tetrapod and from there can select between 2 branches for the remainder for the game- reptile/dinosaur and synapsid/mammal, with both having possible humanoid options. Around the fifth and penultimate chapter mythical creatures appear, with the above being for the reptile branch (you can also evolve into a Wyvern or an Imp and then become a demon if you align yourself with the BigBad in one of the game's bad MultipleEndings). Gnomes, Orcs, Yetis and Elves belong to the mammal branch instead- some bad endings cause you to evolve into Dwarves, Hobbits, Trolls and Fairies which reference Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium; and if you don't evolve into a Homo sapiens but remain a monkey then you turn into a Franchise/KingKong {{Expy}}. Considering the game combines mysticism with science the plot can feel weird, however the legendary creatures make sense when you find out it's made by the same people who made ''Franchise/DragonQuest''- this gets revealed at one point in the game when you come upon a bunch of [[MascotMook mutated slimes]] and could become one yourself if you make a wrong decision. Listed [[https://community.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/evo-thread/1839 here]] for curious players are most of the game's possible evolutions available, both real and made-up.

* ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' usually features real prehistoric animals, like ''Spinosaurus'', ''Pteranodon'', or ''Giganotosaurus'', but occasionally mixes in speculative, made-up ones (as well as made-up creatures from the future). A notable dinosaur example is the Tree Creeper, an arboreal theropod resembling a cross between [[RaptorAttack a featherless dromaeosaur]] and a primate, with a knuckle-walking stance and prehensile tail.

* ''VideoGame/PrimalCarnage'': Among all the real dinosaur and pterosaur species, the token dromaeosaur is a fictional genus called the ''Novaraptor'', a genetically engineered creation which is nearly identical to the ''Film/JurassicPark'' raptors in appearance and ferocity, thereby sidestepping any issues regarding [[RaptorAttack inaccuracy in its design]]. It comes in both a scaly and a feathered variant, although the difference is purely cosmetic.

* ''Film/SixtyFive'': The film is filled almost entirely of these, partly by virtue of the main characters being HumanAliens with no concept of dinosaurs (meaning none are given names). There are creatures resembling scaly raptors, a featherless ''Oviraptor''-like theropod, but with [[ToothyBird numerous sharp teeth]], some sort of small bipedal ankylosaur bearing a distinct but [[AccidentallyCorrecrZoology almost certainly coincidental]] resemblance to ''Jakapil'', emaciated quadruped reptiles (identified in the soundtrack as ''Lagosuchus'', despite not being dinosaurs and [[AnachronisticAnimal living nowhere near the Late Cretaceous]]) and a gigantic four-legged predator resembling some sort of primitive archosaur, but even bigger than a ''Tyrannosaurus''. The only identifiable animals are two ''Tyrannosaurus''.
