Terrible Lizards wiki
Use this page as the index. The numbers I am willing to repeat in the doorway: four principal creatures plus Dennis, 15 Steam achievements, 16 amber samples in a third-party count, four chapters, a developer length of 6 to 10 hours, and a Steam Deck status of Playable. Child pages argue the details. If a number here and a number there disagree, the child page is the one I updated with the conflict written out.

Route specifics that the studio did not publish — door codes, fuse order, the crew-lift key — are marked with a source count on the chapter pages. One walkthrough family (several sites sharing the same chapter 1 sentences) counts as one source, not three.
Questions
Is this the Wikipedia article?
No. Wikipedia's dinosaur article is about the word. This directory is about the 2026 game. The etymology page answers the "terrible lizard" word on its own.
How many monsters are documented?
The studio's creature-design note names four principals: the Hybrid, Bronto, Allo, and Pterry. Dennis is the extra threat in the last stretch. There is no T. rex entry because the studio list and the 15 achievements do not include one.
Where should a new player start?
The beginner guide, then chapter 1, then the price page if you still need a copy. Boss order is a separate page so chapter notes stay about routes.
