Plesiosaurswere a diverse and highly successful group of marine reptiles that made up the order Plesiosauria. They were entirely or almost entirely aquatic, and thrived throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Plesiosaurs became extinct during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which was also responsible for the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and most marine reptiles. The order Plesiosauria was comprised of two superfamilies, Plesiosauroidea and Pliosauroidea.

  • Plesiosaurs were marine reptiles that dominated Earth's oceans from the early Jurassic to late Cretaceous. They came in two types, the Pliosaurs, which had short necks and enormous skulls and the Plesiosaurs themselves, which had long necks and tiny skulls. The true Plesiosaurs were peaceful fish-eaters who could clamber onto land to escape predators while the Pliosaurs were blood-thirsty carnivores that devoured anything in their way.
  • The Plesiosaur is the sea monster that did Ganzack's bidding.
  • Plesiosaurs (Greek: plesios meaning 'near' or 'close to' and sauros meaning 'lizard') were carnivorous aquatic (mostly marine) reptiles. After their discovery, they were somewhat fancifully said to have resembled "a snake threaded through the shell of a turtle". The common name 'plesiosaur' is applied both to the 'true' plesiosaurs (Suborder Plesiosauroidea) and to the larger taxonomic rank of Plesiosauria, which includes both long-necked (elasmosaurs) and short-necked (polycotylid) forms. Short-necked, large-headed plesiosaurs are more properly called pliosaurs. There were many species of plesiosaurs and not all of them were as large as Liopleurodon, Kronosaurus or Elasmosaurus.

The pliosaurs were the short-necked, large-headed plesiosaurians that were the apex predators for much of the Mesozoic. There were many species of plesiosaurs, while most of them were not as large as Elasmosaurus.
