You bet. The Gazzams would be like the traditional "great lizards", with the draconids more like D&D monsteroids.

	The Slarge dinosaurs are intended to be like "real" dinosaurs. 
	Despite the efforts of the slarges, I doubt they've had

many features bred into them. Dinosaurs, I expect, are slow-reproducing enough that selective breeding would have little effect. Magic stuff would be different of course.
