| - Kotasaurus was a genus of herbivorous sauropod dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period. It was found in 1998, in India. It was around 9 metres long, and was one of the most primitive sauropods, and shared many features with prosauropods.
- The kotasaurus are large sauropod dinosaurs who are friendly to the DSS, and one appears in Jungle Horror! as one of the astrosaur cadets who help Splatt catch Commodore Kallos and her crew of fake staff members. Their home planet is unknown. Real Kotasaurus were early sauropods, about nine metres long, that existed during the Early Jurassic period, from 208 to 188 million years ago. The hip bones of Kotasaurus are similar to the hips of prosauropods like Plateosaurus. Like other sauropods, it only ate plants. It lived in India, and the only known fossil of this dinosaur is a partial skeleton that is missing the skull, discovered in 1988. Its name means "Kota lizard", in honour of the rock formation where it was found.
