Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Oh, for a minute I thought that these were all examples of real life confirmed extinct ocean megafauna, and I was like "where the hell is the mosasaur?" (because mosasaurs are terrifying and one of the best preserved ones was found in Austin).

These are proposed cryptids.
