So I realized I'm woefully lacking in knowledge of Pleistocene-era Megafauna. I'm looking for pictures, profiles, whatever to use for some campaign stuff. Anyone know any good resources? Or if you wanna post one up that we can use for our RPG-inspiration - that would be great.
Have any of you guys used megafauna in your games? Which ones? What tweaks did you do to them?

I had a complete generator at one time that used Inspiration Pad Pro, and most of the dinos on that website were in the D&D database. Then my Hard Drive died, and I lost the whole thing. Didn't have a Backup copy, had a at least a hundred man hours into the generator, and have been meaning to reconstruct my DB.

Man, we used to have Lions and Cheetahs, what a ripoff. :D
Great site though..
AD&D has quite a few scattered through the MM. And thered been articles on them too. Not to mention an article for running an ice age cave man campaign.
5e doesnt have as many yet. Axebeak, Giant Elk, Mastadon, technically the giant constrictor, Dire Wolf, giant Boar, Cave Bear and so on.

Yeah I wanted all the obscure and weird shit that few people think/know about.
Lets see.
AD&D: Axe Beak, Baluchiotherium, Cave Bear, Hyenadon, Irish Deer, Cave Lion, Mammoth, Mastadon, Woolly Rhino, Titanothere and Dire Wolf. Think Fiend Foloio added the Megetherium?
2nd Ed adds some more in MC3.
3e module called Frostborn? Glyptodon, Megaloceros, Smilodon, Woolly Mammoth, and Zeuglodon, and more in Frost & Fur? Coelodonta, Chalicothere,
5e: Aurouch was added in Volo's Guide.
5e fan-made: Gorgonopsid and Megacerops.
But more impressively Issue 137 and 167 of Dragon added alot more each. Get those two issues and you are fairly set. Also great source material for running that Ice Age cave man D&D campaign.

SWEET! more Pleistocene love. I'm sure I have those backissues of Dragon! Time to hit my archives.
Though cant seem to find which issue had the article on playing an ice age setting that had the Pillsbury art for it.
I'm following this as I have considered a campaign set in Beringia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beringia).
More animals
Issue 176 Added more animals from the Paleozoic era.
Issue 204 adds Cambrian creatures.
And three setting articles.
Issue 68 has "Thrills & Chills"
Issue 118 has "Out of the Stone Age"
Issue 175 has "The Perils of Prehistory"
Still havent found the one was looking for though.
Still havent found that Pillsbury Ice Age article. But did find 2 more dinos in issue 66 of Dragon.
The issue 68 article is pretty thorough though with tables for encounters, weather effects and more.
The Euparkeria and the Compsognathus.
