Cyclosaurus

The Cyclosaurus is a strange beast which inhabits a "lost world," recently discovered in an isolated African volcanic crater. The creatures inhabit an ecological niche similar to crocodiles. The large central eye gives the Cyclosaurus excellent night vision, and what the creature lacks in depth perception is made up by an extremely sensitive olfactory sense.

Triasuarus

A Ceratopian dinosaur with three heads. The Triasaurus lives in deep jungles Africa, where local tribes revere it as a God. Legends of the creature go back at least 1000 years. In the 1850s several expeditions were lead to hunt the monster down, as it was blamed for extensive livestock losses in the area. Witnesses describe bullets bouncing off the creature's thick hide. Modern reports have become increasingly sporadic, leading some to speculate it has gone extinct.
