2!!Giant Ground Sloth
3A huge, slow ground sloth of an unspecified species.
4----
5* GentleGiant: It will not attack the Paleo-Indians, being a herbivore.
6%%* HerbivoresAreFriendly
7!!Saber-Toothed Cat
8The most powerful and deadliest cat of all time.
9----
10%%* CatsAreMean
11%%* PantheraAwesome

14----
15%%* BearsAreBadNews
16* BigBad: Of "The Eternal Frontier".
17* SuperPersistentPredator: Rather than eating a dead mammoth, it chases a frightened Paleo-Indian and kills him. Justified, since the man's running triggered is prey response.

20[[folder:The Burning]]
21!!Diprotodon
22A giant wombat and the largest marsupial to ever live.
23----
24%%* GentleGiant
25* HerbivoresAreFriendly: Isn't really that dangerous to the aborigines.
26* MonsterMunch: A ''Dirprotodon'' carcass is found in the episode, and it is implied to have been killed by ''Megalania''. We actually see one get attacked midway through the episode.
27!!''Megalania''
28The largest lizard to ever live and the main antagonist of the episode.
29----
30* AlasPoorVillain: While it was only just a predator, it's hard not to feel some sympathy for it, considering it ends up being [[spoiler:burned to death when it is helpless to escape]].
31* BigBad: Of ''The Burning''.
32* ChekhovsGun: In it's first appearance, it's noted to be sluggish at night, due to needing to heat itself with sunlight. [[spoiler:At the end up the episode, it's killed when the aborigines set the grassland it was resting in on fire in early morning, when it is too sluggish to escape the flames]].
33* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Anything that it bites will die of blood poisoning, due tp toxic bacteria in its mouth.
34** On the flipside, [[spoiler:it ends up being roasted alive at the end of the episode]].
35* FourIsDeath: It encounters the aborigines four different times:
36** The first time, it sees them around a fire at night, but is too sluggish to attack.
37** The second time, it ignores them in favor of an easier meal.
38** The third time it meets them, which is right after it attacks a ''Diprotodon'', it does decide to attack them and ultimately kills one of them.
39** The fourth time, [[spoiler:the aborigines set the grassland on fire during the morning, while it is still warming up, leaving it helpess to escape]].
40* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:How it meets its end]].
41* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Quite possibly the closest thing ever to a real-life example--a massive, poisonous reptile that can easily kill humans, and is regarded as TheDreaded by people living nearby.
42* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Is the largest lizard to ever live and is the main antagonist of the episode.
43* SuperPersistentPredator: {{Averted}}: it ignores the aborigines the first two times it encounters them, and while it does attack them the third time, at that point, they were the easier meal.
