It occurs to me that I may be the only one young enough to know who the Thunderlizards are, and even then, they're pretty obscure. The Terrible Thunderlizards was a cartoon within the cartoon Eek The Cat!, about a black ops group of dinosaur mercenaries who were let out of prison and given one task: confirm and end the human threat. I believe Laurent Koscielny may be a direct descendant of them.
