Characters edit
- James Bowman: James Bowman is the captain of the deep-space exploration vessel Helix.
- Daniel Wellington: Daniel Wellington is an extremely wealthy, egotistical madman who builds a compound on the planet Antos.
- Magnisaur: The magnisaur is a dinosaur created by Daniel Wellington and his scientists. It is a four-legged creature roughly the size of a rhinoceros. It has the head, horns, and shield of a triceratops, the armored, plated back of an ankylosaur, and the long, spiked tail of a stegosaur.
- Super Raptor: The "Super Raptors" are dinosaurs created by Daniel Wellington and his scientists. Unlike normal velociraptors, these beasts have thick, bony heads like pachycephalosaurs and heavy, clubbed tails like ankylosaurs. They are bright crimson in color, with deep ebony stripes running the lengths of their bodies. At least two are known to exist, but there are probably more.
- A-donna: A-donna is an Onduran, a native of Antos. Her father is Mol-vin, the chief of the Olong tribe. Unlike most Ondurans, A-donna is an albino, with white hair and pink eyes.
- Fa-rel: Fa-rel is the strongest and bravest warrior in the Olong tribe. He was lost defending the tribe's village from Daniel Wellington's men and has not been seen since. Many fear he was killed in the fighting.
- Mol-vin: Mol-vin is the chief (leader) of the Olong tribe, which is one of the largest tribes of Ondurans on Antos. His daughter is A-donna.
