Being the person responsible for the latter scenario in Tradetalk, it makes me wonder, too. There is that Dragonewt cameo in Elder Secrets which makes some story use of a Trike, apart from that there is only the saurian egg story in KoDP.

Apparently annoyingly easy, if we are to believe Dragon Pass boardgame. Two bronto herds will get you to Pavis with the full Free Army.

Slon. Again, in Elder Secrets, that odd dwarf in the Mostali cameo. Dino-riding natives, too.
Maranaba has the Bronto boogie. AKA Apatosaurus jive for those purists of terminology.
I'd really love to lead a group of unsuspecting heroes to a bronto cocooing up in order to become a Pteranodon... How do they compare to wyverns?
There's one of my gripes with Widow's Tale: a wyvern outsizing a dream dragon (and a unicorn outmatching a skybull) somehow made the tale "YGMV" for me.
