While writing a story, an author needs a way to show how bad things would get if the Big Bad took control or the Applied Phlebotinum blew up. So the author attributes some historical disaster to their plot. And what's the biggest disaster one can imagine? Why, none other than the extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. Despite being confirmed with a huge degree of certainty and consensus to be some kind of asteroid or comet impact, the debate has made the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction ideal due to the sheer number of theories flying about, making it a Stock Unsolved Mystery to rival even Who Shot JFK? What's one more crazy theory going to hurt? Other works go along with the mainstream hypothesis, but say that their factor caused the impactor to fall to earth, or was the impactor itself. Often ignored in fictional portrayals is that the dinosaurs were the top of a food chain–wide extinction event; the "direct" victims of the event (whatever it was) probably would have been plants, algae, and plankton, and it was their disappearance that killed the animals which ate them, killing the animals which ate them, etc. Similarly fantastic theories have sometimes been suggested to explain why other species went extinct, though due to Small Reference Pools, most writers tend to ignore the Permian–Triassic extinction (aka "The Great Dying"), which was the biggest mass extinction ever and perhaps the closest Earth ever came to life being wiped out entirely. The Triassic–Jurassic extinction, which was almost as devastating as the Cretaceous–Paleogene and directly led to dinosaurs becoming the dominant forms of life for the next 135 million years, is even more obscure. Apparently, it's only the fall of the dinosaurs, and not their rise to prominence, that's deemed interesting enough for fiction. Despite the fact that both of these events have considerably more uncertainty about their causes (and thus more room to invent a Phlebotinum-based explanation) than the by this point rather well-understood Cretaceous–Paleogene. A subtrope of Historical In-Joke and Real Event, Fictional Cause. See The Dinosaurs Had It Coming when the dinosaurs' extinction is blamed on themselves. Compare Artistic License – Paleontology, which this trope can fall into if not done well. Contrast with Lost World, where the dinosaurs manage to duck and cover in a cave/valley/jungle before the big event. See also The Cretaceous Is Always Doomed, which is about the tendency of time-travelers to arrive at dates of historical significance — especially the end of the dinosaurs — by complete coincidence; that trope can overlap with this one if the reason they're present for the extinction is that they caused it. |

In Sluggy Freelance, extinction events are typically brought about by the Mohkadun God of Destruction, Kozoaku in an Eternal Recurrence of creation and destruction. It is implied that he brought extinction events to the dinosaurs twice, with the second time being largely successful. A few dinosaurs still live deep Beneath the Earth though. | |

In one chapter of Franken Fran, Fran claims that the dinosaurs were too large and inefficient to survive so they evolved to be smaller and became birds, to try and justify her disbelief at how the Monster of the Week could even exist. She fails biology forever and makes paleontologists cry, but kudos to having a T. rex with protofeathers. | |

A variation happens in All Tomorrows. An extinct species of extraterrestrial dinosaur, Panderavis, was found in an alien planet; given what we soon learn about the Qu, there's a very heavy implication that they messed around with the dinosaurs, and given that Panderavis evolved from one of the younger non-avian groups (therizinosaurs) they may very well have something to do with their extinction. | |

In the Star Trek: The Lost Era novel The Buried Age, the Permian extinction event is chosen instead — it was a consequence of an artificially induced galaxy-wide disaster. The Sufficiently Advanced Aliens known as Manraloth accidentally caused the galactic population to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, releasing terrible amounts of energy which irradiated planets. In the aftermath, the artificially maintained habitats of the Manraloth degraded, destabilizing stars, among other dangerous side-effects. The galaxy was an irradiated hellhole until sapient life evolved again millions of years later. | |

In The Dresden Files, Thomas Raith claims that love killed the dinosaurs. Harry calls him out on it. Essentially, the tale talks about how the meteor did wipe out the big stuff, but the dinosaurs didn't regain their position because mammals could feel love and be devoted to their mates and offspring, making them more likely to survive. This is a vampire folk tale being told to a wizard with a GED, and should be taken with a grain of salt, especially given that some dinosaurs did have strong nesting instincts. | |

Power Rangers Power Rangers: Dino Thunder plays an odd twist on it — it was just a random asteroid, but it became a magical asteroid, which shattered into mineral macguffins, which then imprinted on the dinosaurs (ensuring that they could plausibly be used to bring the dinosaurs back). These became the Dino Gems that granted our heroes their powers. In Power Rangers Dino Charge, an evil bounty hunter was in orbit over the planet with a large haul of asteroids he'd collected. But then his ship got bombed, causing them to break away and fall... Interestingly, the involvement of the Mac Guffins that would go on to grant the Rangers' powers — stones that choose worthy wielders just like the Dino Gems — means this would make the perfect origin for the Dino Gems found among the asteroids. In the finale, the Rangers go back in time to prevent this, meaning the dinosaurs never went extinct. This briefly caused a Continuity Snarl, but later seasons established that Dino Charge is in a parallel universe compared to the series' main continuity. |

In Demonbane, Demonbane and Liber Legis begin randomly teleporting across time and space during their final battle. Eventually they end up back at Earth... 65 million years ago. Liber Legis does a super-charged body slam on Demonbane from orbit, causing both Humongous Mecha to slam into the Earth at extreme speed... in the area that would eventually become known as the Yucatan Peninsula. | |

In the two-part Bionic Six episode "Back to the Past", the protagonists are sent back to find out what killed the dinosaurs. Naturally, they end up getting involved with it. The dinosaurs died from the radiation that leaked from the weapon taken to the past by villains sent there to obtain the power that killed them. | |

The Day the World Broke: Osgood Jr., better known as Ozzie, a technician at the World Works, is responsible for the dinosaurs' disappearance. He accidentally started a cataclysm that killed some of them, and judged the best way to stop it was to throw the vents into reverse. In the process most of the remaining dinos, and some other Cretaceous critters, were sucked through into the core. Metals in the core wound up in their digestive systems, turning this first generation's hatchlings into biomechanical Mechanimals, who inhabit the core to this day. | |

Atomic Robo: According to Dr. Dinosaur, mammal energies from the Large Hadron Collider in the present traveled back to the past, killing all of the dinosaurs except for the Doctor himself (who gained his GENIUS INTELLIGENCE!). Dr. Atomic Robo Tesla strongly disagrees with this hypothesis and assumes Dr. Dinosaur is a modern genetic experiment gone rogue (but then again, Dr. Dinosaur's insane pseudoscience has an odd habit of actually working...). | |

In Power Rangers Dino Charge, an evil bounty hunter was in orbit over the planet with a large haul of asteroids he'd collected. But then his ship got bombed, causing them to break away and fall... Interestingly, the involvement of the Mac Guffins that would go on to grant the Rangers' powers — stones that choose worthy wielders just like the Dino Gems — means this would make the perfect origin for the Dino Gems found among the asteroids. In the finale, the Rangers go back in time to prevent this, meaning the dinosaurs never went extinct. This briefly caused a Continuity Snarl, but later seasons established that Dino Charge is in a parallel universe compared to the series' main continuity. | |

Played with in Michael Crichton's The Lost World (1995), in which Ian Malcolm makes a study on extinction and begins to debunk the theory of the dinosaurs being wiped out by a meteor. Towards the end, they establish that any mistake or miscalculation in an ecosystem, no matter how small, can compromise the survival of a species. | |

Schlock Mercenary: A massive alien spaceship passed through a cometary halo, and their mass disrupted various orbits. Eight million years later, a very large rock came down on Earth, while the dinosaurs tried desperately to build a flying machine to escape. Played with in that they weren't actually killed; thanks to a probe left in orbit the aliens were able to pick up the dinosaurs' early radio transmissions and evacuated them in time. The "feather folk" have been residents on that same Planet Spaceship ever since. | |

The X-Files two-parter "The Sixth Extinction" briefly skirts the topic of what killed the dinosaurs, suggesting that Ancient Astronauts visited Earth five times before, destroying its dominant species and introducing new ones. The mammals (including us humans) are the latest masters of Earth, introduced after the "fifth extinction" — a.k.a. the Dinosaur Extinction Event. And our own time to go is nearing fast. | |

Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has the Deboth Army exterminate the dinosaurs and try to do the same to humanity, with three recurring monsters having directly killed the dinos: an Ice Age one, a disease-themed one, and a meteor one (reflecting major theories as to the real-life extinction). They haven't regained their full power yet — the Ice Age monster was even first episode cannon fodder — but they're still usually a step up from a normal Monster of the Week. | |

One of three alien races who commonly interact with Earth humans in Conspiracy X are the "Saurians", mysterious reptilian aliens with many forms who want to take over. They are actually the dinosaurs, they owned the planet long before us, and they had extremely advanced technology. What finally did them in was an experimental FTL drive that failed in the middle of a huge space civil war, trapping every single Saurian still alive at the time within the temporal stasis field around an artificial black hole. It took the black hole 65 million years to shrink to the point that some Saurian ships have managed to free themselves of its pull, and the crew members have discovered, to their great dismay, that while they were gone... all kinds of things happened to their planet. As for the Cretaceous meteor, that was actually an orbital cathedral built by the most powerful Saurian culture, which was blown out of orbit and sent crashing into Earth during the final war that led to the FTL drive's use. | |

Star Trek; The Q Continuum trilogy reveals that Q himself accidentally sent the iridium meteor to Earth during a titanic battle between members of the Continuum and four powerful beings (0, Gorgan, (*), and The One). One of the latter supercharges the meteor and hurls it at female!Q. Fearing for her life, Q hurriedly creates a temporary wormhole in the meteor's path, not thinking about where the rock ends up. After the battle, the Continuum learns about the destruction of the dinosaurs and, as punishment, charges Q with protecting Earth and any lifeforms that evolve on it. In the Star Trek: The Lost Era novel The Buried Age, the Permian extinction event is chosen instead — it was a consequence of an artificially induced galaxy-wide disaster. The Sufficiently Advanced Aliens known as Manraloth accidentally caused the galactic population to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, releasing terrible amounts of energy which irradiated planets. In the aftermath, the artificially maintained habitats of the Manraloth degraded, destabilizing stars, among other dangerous side-effects. The galaxy was an irradiated hellhole until sapient life evolved again millions of years later. |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse has the Mokole, werelizards tasked with serving as Gaia's Memory who are the oldest (still-living) Changing Breed in existence... so yes, they were (and still are; it's complicated) dinosaurs. They had a massive empire until the "Wonder-Work" - or, as we call it, the K-T extinction - happened. Whether it was Phlebotinum is up in the air, but the living Mokole, who still have the memories of their ancestors, attribute this event to everything from a not-yet-corrupted Wyrm trying to restore balance to Gaia herself reaching down to slap the Mokole for their hubris and allow mammals a chance to evolve. | |

In the The Prince of Tennis movie The Two Samurai: The First Game, the power of Tezuka Kunimitsu's technique, Tezuka Zone was visually compared to the meteor storm responsible of the extintion of dinosaurs, when he hits the tennis ball so strongly that it appears as if multiple giant tennis balls from space rain down on Earth and wipe out the dinosaurs, utterly "destroying" his opponent along with the creatures. And it was awesome. What do you mean it's not awesome? | |

Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger gives us Bandora, whose son was killed by a dinosaur. She sold her soul to the devil to gain the power to destroy the dinosaurs. When she was sealed, only two dinosaur eggs remained, and her main goal after being revived is to destroy those two eggs. | |

In a time travel-themed episode of I Am Weasel, the dinosaurs laughed at I. R. Baboon's red butt so hard that they fell off the world (which was flat at that time period for some odd reason) and to their deaths. Weasel calls him out at first, but then realizes that dinosaurs are supposed to go extinct and instead takes this as a sign that Baboon was destined to correct history. | |

In Extreme Dinosaurs, the cataclysm that caused the dinosaurs to go extinct was caused by Bad Rap, a mutated raptor, using an alien Wave-Motion Gun in a fight. Since the weapon was conceived by aliens from a different dimension, it wasn't adapted to be used on Earth, and ended up causing the cataclysm instead of merely killing the protagonists like initially intended. | |

Animorphs: The Monster of the Week in Megamorphs #2 causes the extinction of the dinosaurs by redirecting a meteor earthward. To rephrase it, the dinosaurs were killed by a plain old meteor... FLUNG BY ALIENS! To wipe out OTHER aliens who wanted to settle on Earth and plant broccoli. For extra craziness, the benign alien settlers had a plan to divert the meteor with a nuclear missile, but it was sabotaged... by one of the heroes, because, well, that extinction was necessary for the human race to emerge. The Ellimist Chronicles shows that the titular character prevented Crayak from inflicting an even worse disaster on Earth back when Mars still had life, but he intentionally did not interfere with the progress of an asteroid towards the planet because he saw more potential in those tiny mammals. |

In Dinosaurs the dinosaurs drove themselves to extinction when the construction of a wax fruit factory causes a chain reaction that leads to a new ice age that will kill off the dinosaurs. For those that want the chain: the factory was built on the breeding grounds of the bunch beetles, which caused them to go extinct, which means the vines they feed on grow unchecked. Trying to use herbicide to kill them off causes all the other plants to die off as well, causing global warming. Trying to check that by creating clouds leads them to bomb volcanoes, which creates ash clouds that block out the sun, which causes a new ice age that will last for tens of thousands of years. And the worst part is that Richfield, who was behind most of the above, doesn't even care that he doomed the world because he's making an immense profit from it. | |

In an extended cut of Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, a throwaway line by Beerus recounts that he went to Earth millions of years ago, and that he wiped out the dinosaurs because they were rude to him. This is reconfirmed in Dragon Ball Super. This is ignoring the weird world of Dragon Ball showed us many times that it still has Living Dinosaurs (both regular and anthropomorphic). Then again, later arcs in Super show that Beerus is practically the poster child for The Gods Must Be Lazy and very bad at his job as a God of Destruction despite his absurdly high power level, so it's totally in-character for him to have just plain missed some. | |

In Fate/Grand Order, the sentient divine bacteria that would later become the Mayan pantheon arrived on Earth via the Chicxulub asteroid. Quetzalcoatl claims that said asteroid was also the Mayan underworld Xibalba. Lostbelt #7, Nahui Mictlan, reveals this particular claim to be false - the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs was actually ORT, the Ultimate One of the Oort Cloud. The meteor carrying the Mayan Pantheon arrived a little later. | |

The Bible doesn't mention dinosaurs or their extinction directly, but Creationists have come up with a number of Fanon theories to try and reconcile the book of Genesis with paleontology: Dinosaurs died from Noah's Flood; most from the flood itself (along with every other species), and the few left that were on the ark died out because either they were too big to be fed consistnet rations or their food sources couldn't handle the resulting climate changes. The seven "days" of creation are actually a metaphor for seven much longer eras, and dinosaurs went extinct somewhere in that timeframe. This tends to be the approach that "theistic evolutionists" who accept evolution as a part of creation take. When the Earth was cursed due to the Fall of Man, dinosaurs were corrupted and made Always Chaotic Evil. (This doesn't explain where they went, though...) Maybe these corrupted dinosaurs were the ancestors of modern day lesser demons? Compare a stereotypical Prehistoric Monster design and the appearance of demons. You can see the similarities. Dinosaurs never existed and their remains were placed by either God or Satan to test the faith of the less committed Christians. Dinosaurs are still alive and that’s why we have Nessie and Mkele Mbenbe. Dinosaurs were part of a failed experiment by God, who got rid of them for being sinful in His eyes. A lot of the doomsday prophecies mentioned in the Book of Revalations appear to clearly parrael the commonly believed scenario as to how the dinosaurs went extinct. Wormwood being described as a celestial body falling to Earth can obviously be compared to the asteroid that fell to Earth and bootstrapped the dinosaurs' judgement day, and the water turning bitter after Wormwood fell to Earth was much like how common watering holes were poisoned following the aftermath of the collision due to it releasing toxic chemicals into them as well as the impacting causing drastic acidification of the oceans that destroyed its food web. The world shaking to its core during the start of many apocalypse scenarios can be thought similarly to the magnitude 11 earthquake that ripped apart entire mountains and islands mere moments after impact. The ring of megatsunamis drowning entire archipelagos and shorelines created by the Collison could've resemble a real life Great Flood ala Noah's Ark. The global firestorm that razes the earth a few days after the impact is similar to many depictions of rapture involving the world being set on fire as the demons of hell erupt from the Earth much like how toxic chemicals from below the earth were displaced towards the surface. The world going dark from the soot and debris released into the atmosphere is reminiscent of the second to last plague from the Book of Exodus where darkness enshrouds the Earth. |

Averted with more or less every single fossil Pokémon, since there isn't any mention of an extinction event 65 million years ago that killed off such critters as Aerodactyl or Tyrantrum en masse. Some of the Flavor Text gives relatively plausible reasons for why certain specific fossil Pokemon went extinct, such as that Omastar's shell eventually became too heavy for it to catch prey. | |

Rise of the Galeforces actually gives as close to the correct scientific explanation as the author — and his Author Avatar — is aware of, when he briefly interrupts the narrative to correct several other characters who thought that a heatwave killed off the dinosaurs.note While they weren't exactly wrong in a sense — the blast front from the Chixiclub meteor impact is thought to have packed the same energy as 100 teratonnes of TNT (420 ZJ), over a billion times the energy of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki — the original context referred to a heatwave produced by the sun. The food chain collapse that led to the extinction was because the dust from the impact blocked out the sun, causing most of the plant life to die out and take the food chain with it. Humorously, Frozone later gets to make a jab at the infamous "Ice age" line from Batman & Robin, as noted below. | |

The Q Continuum trilogy reveals that Q himself accidentally sent the iridium meteor to Earth during a titanic battle between members of the Continuum and four powerful beings (0, Gorgan, (*), and The One). One of the latter supercharges the meteor and hurls it at female!Q. Fearing for her life, Q hurriedly creates a temporary wormhole in the meteor's path, not thinking about where the rock ends up. After the battle, the Continuum learns about the destruction of the dinosaurs and, as punishment, charges Q with protecting Earth and any lifeforms that evolve on it. | |

In one path on Star Challenge's book "Dimension of Doom", exploring an Alternate Universe you find a planet with dinosaurs larger than its original Earth counterparts. If you ask the one who's in charge there about that he comments that one of their robots in a mission of exploration found the Earth in the Cretaceous era. They wanted a sample of the dominant creatures living in that planet... and said robot brought all of them to that alternate universe planet. | |

One episode of The Emperor's New School has Yzma combine a time machine, invisibility device and an evil MP3 player (it only plays disco music!), which is then lost in time. It becomes a Brick Joke at the end of the episode when Kuzco flips the show to a documentary about dinosaurs, who begin dying off from the disco music. | |

Super Sentai has had no less than six possible fates for the dinosaurs. Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger gives us Bandora, whose son was killed by a dinosaur. She sold her soul to the devil to gain the power to destroy the dinosaurs. When she was sealed, only two dinosaur eggs remained, and her main goal after being revived is to destroy those two eggs. Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger holds it that a meteorite did hit Earth but didn't kill the dinosaurs, instead splitting the Earth into two parallel universes; one where humans evolved and rule the earth and one where dinosaurs did. Engine Sentai Go-onger has the villains reviving the monster who destroyed the dinosaurs. The Big Bad of GoGo Sentai Boukenger's movie also killed the dinosaurs. Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has the Deboth Army exterminate the dinosaurs and try to do the same to humanity, with three recurring monsters having directly killed the dinos: an Ice Age one, a disease-themed one, and a meteor one (reflecting major theories as to the real-life extinction). They haven't regained their full power yet — the Ice Age monster was even first episode cannon fodder — but they're still usually a step up from a normal Monster of the Week. The "Phlebotinum" part is averted in Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger — it was just a meteor in this version. The catch is that an evil tribe fled to space before the impact, and now they want their planet back. The Movie involves time travel to the moments of the impact, and a Stable Time Loop is involved that results in the Ryusoulgers diminishing the meteor’s total mass so that it merely results in the extinction of the dinosaurs rather than causing an outright Earth-Shattering Kaboom. |

Codex Equus: The end of the Dinosaurs — both the non-sapient species and sapient races — over 65 million years ago was the result of not one but a conga-line of multiple cataclysms and catastrophes occurring at roughly the same time, devastating them to the point that most of them were wiped out and those that survive either retreated into seclusion or left the planet altogether. On top of a comet impact, another natural disaster from outer space occurred in the form of a cosmic shower of mysterious Shinka Rays, which caused a mass die-off owing to its utter lethality to the Dinosaurs and other creatures deemed "evolutionarily unfit". Some of the unfortunate Dinosaurs suffered the truly gruesome demise of having their flesh melt off their shattering bones. Internecine conflict between the sapient Dinosaur races, factions and civilizations caused widespread destruction that greatly weakened them. A plague of Space Kaijus attacks occurred during the twilight of the Dinosaurs. One of these — a certain three-headed monster — did quite a number on them in particular. A (suspected) Child of the Void, Fegrð, the Author of Beautiful Ends, was one of the final nails in the coffin for the Dinosaurs. Given that the last couple of disasters the Dinosaurs already went through, he claims he was there mostly to "finish the job". |

Power Rangers: Dino Thunder plays an odd twist on it — it was just a random asteroid, but it became a magical asteroid, which shattered into mineral macguffins, which then imprinted on the dinosaurs (ensuring that they could plausibly be used to bring the dinosaurs back). These became the Dino Gems that granted our heroes their powers. | |

Chrono Trigger has the dinosaurs being killed off because of the fall of Lavos. The world isn't Earth, but it's similar enough that this event occurred 65 million years ago like the actual extinction of the dinosaurs. For contrast, the rulers of said dinosaurs were bipedal and sentient. Lavos happened to land on their capital, killing the majority of them, and the resulting Ice Age finished the job (in one alternate future seen by defeating Lavos before it's seen to hit, they survived to become the dominant species). | |

In another novel, he claims that he gave humanity fire as a joke (predictably, the first thing they did was light one another on fire and laugh hysterically). The other Q were angry, as this made humans dominant instead of cockroaches, and punished him in the way we know from the Prometheus myth.

Inverted in Fossil Fighters, where it's revealed that dinosaurs were actually alien prehistoric creatures introduced to Earth by the Dinaurians, a species ascended from them, in an attempt to recreate their endangered race on Earth. But the dinosaurs died out, Earth's native life forms didn't, and the Dinaurians awoke from stasis too late to rectify it. | |

After millions of years, Ghidorah uses his newly acquired electromagnetic and gravity powers to draw a massive asteroid to earth, freeing him and causing the KT extinction in the process and after he's set adrift in space in his prison of Mothra bodies, he dissipates Mars's magnetosphere and wipes out all life on it as he's leaving the solar system. | |

In The Science of Discworld, the Terribly Dull Lizards — like many organisms from other time periods, very nearly including humans — were indeed wiped out by a random and cataclysmic meteorite impact. It's still Phlebotinum Killed the Dinosaurs, because the reason there are so many rocks drifting around the solar system to become meteorites is because the UU student body had been tossing them at "The Target" (= Jupiter) as part of a cross-cosmic video game, and they never bothered to sweep up their unused ammunition. | |

In L. Jagi Lamplighter's Prospero's Daughter, Miranda, commenting on the winds (who work for her), mentions that the extinction was not caused by the meteor hitting.

The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Distant Origin" suggests that some of them evolved, built spaceships and just outright left. The rest? Probably SOL. The Expanded Universe intimates that Q killed the dinosaurs after using a spatial rift to divert an asteroid hurled at him by another omnipotent being. He would later be charged with overseeing the rebuilding of Earth's ecosystem, including nurturing any sentients that might arise. He left a gift for us in the form of the platypus. Bonus points for explicitly stating that the asteroid had iridium in it, which was determined to be true for the dinosaur-ending asteroid. In another novel, he claims that he gave humanity fire as a joke (predictably, the first thing they did was light one another on fire and laugh hysterically). The other Q were angry, as this made humans dominant instead of cockroaches, and punished him in the way we know from the Prometheus myth. The Star Trek Expanded Universe doesn't keep a tight grip on continuity, but In-Universe, the best answer is that Q is an Unreliable Narrator. |

From Sgt. Frog, Angol Mois' mother is credited for this. (In context, the Angol are a race of planet-splitting world destroyers, so this crosses into Holding Back the Phlebotinum.) The first movie contradicts this however, by showing murals of ancient Keronian weapon Kiruru of being responsible. |

In Kage Baker's The Company Novels, a defective Immortal claims to have wiped out the dinosaurs through his abuse of time travel. However, he's also quite clearly insane, so it isn't certain if he's telling the truth. | |

In the Zachary Nixon Johnson series, an alien race called the Gladians killed the dinosaurs because they were "getting uppity". They threaten to do the same to humanity in The Doomsday Brunette. | |

Nobledark Imperium: During the days of the Old Ones, Earth was at the tail end of the Mesozoic and mostly served as a wildlife preserve and source of fresh experimental stock for the Old Ones. During the War in Heaven, the battle between the Void Dragon and the other C'tan happened to take place in the Sol System, and included one of the fighters getting body-slammed in the future Yucatan peninsula, resulting in the Chicxulub bolide impact and killing off Earth's megafauna. | |
