They're on the Summon monster lists. They aren't something that suddenly sprang out of nothingness. They only are regarded as "odd" or "unusual" because that's how they are in our experience in our world, which tells us nothing what so ever as to how things can be in a D&D world. What is it about dinos that demands that they have to have any more explanation than crocs, sharks or bears?Directly no. But CR does indicate how powerful they are relative to other creatures in the setting and thus how much of an impact they are likely to have. A Dire Tiger is also a cr 8. Presumably therefore a T-Rex is unlikely to have more of an impact on the enviroment than the tiger which you presumably have no problem with.Except that there's nothing what so ever aside from one overblown reaction, to indicate that there's some reason dinos should be regarded as something exotic. The exotic IS ordinary for adventurers. You need to get something pretty strange before my alienist wizard who's been to Xoriat the plane of madness is going to bat an eye at it. If your character is one who feels that a tame dino with riding gear on it, is something to threaten violence over. More power too you. It isn't the case for most of the characters I've ever run and in most of the campaigns I've ever been in.</blockquote>
