I love stuff like this. Here are some real dinosaur/extinct creature names!

• Sauroniops: Literally means Eye of Sauron
• Dracorex Hogwartsia: Dragon King of Hogwarts
• Thanos Simonattoi: after Thanos
• Irritator Challengeri: he was hard to dig up and scientists were angry
• Gasosaurus: discovered while a gas company was being built.
• Gojirasaurus: self explanatory
• Attenborosaurus: plesiosaurus named after David Attenborough.
• Crichtonosaurus: similar to an ankylo and named after author of Jurassic Park
• Bambiraptor sounds cute, and it’s named after the deer (because it was deer sized), but it was a fierce and deadly creature.

There’s so many more; I could nerd out forever. I miss when I was a little girl, and people would actually talk to me about dinosaurs…
