Yeah. Those first two work. Don't know about the third. For all i know, the monster it is based on could be based on a real turtle.
Other than that, the only thing that came to my mind last night is the konatsian monster. Edit: since even though it id alien, it is still a "monster"

So, in the DB/DBZ show there are: •Cameos of Kaiju •Hirudegarn •Various entities that fit the description of a 'Kaiju' — which is just giant monster.
How do giant 'monsters' not fit the DBZ lore?
That being said... Custom species are meant to introduce species not yet in the 'game', right? Things that will help the site as a whole as much as the individual interested in playing them, right?
I'm not a mod; my words don't carry weight. That being said, as a player with little experience I don't see why this should be barred once the numbers and traits are deemed acceptable.

Additionally, can one base an entire character lifespan on RPing a fairly dumb huge monster? We have saibamen, I suppose, but at least they can, y'know, use things intended for human-sized characters.

Dinosaurs are dinosaurs, not kaiju. In the Dragonworld, dinosaurs still exist concurrent with humans. dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/DinosaurKaiju would be an example of crossover (with Godzilla / Pacific Rim etc.), something our rules are expressly against. If you'd like to RP as a Dinosaur, that could be possible, but you'd have to create a sheet with great background and lore for it and be ready to RP convincingly as one. Kaiju is a general term for Giant Monsters often seen in movies. Calling it a crossover seems a little silly. I'm aware of what the term means in Japanese, but that's not what is being presented here. Atomic Breath is a direct riff from Godzilla, and all of Retsu's examples were of Godzilla-esque Dinosaurs, and not 'giant monsters' (which is why I linked to the dinosaur page ). Further, the only mention of Kaiju in the series was something completely different. Having Giant Monsters of various types and backgrounds as a Species seems to me a little, uh, anti-Species as a category. If the goal is to be a specific giant monster, why not just create a specific Alien race as others have done in the past?

Since dinosaurs in the dragon ball world are very often seen involved in comedic chase scenes of characters, I think it could be cool to see a trait based around that Maybe if a dinosaur chases a character as they try to exit a DE, they can't leave. Although, i think if anyone tries to stop a character from exiting a DE they can't leave, right? Maybe a free EDIT: This could be their primary racial trait Cretaceous Chase [V2] The dinosaur chases after the opponent in a melee attack. The chase continues even if the target dodges twice. 33% charge.

Although, i think if anyone tries to stop a character from exiting a DE they can't leave, right? Yeah. After you make a post attempting to leave a DE you must wait until post order cycles all the way back to you. If nothing happens during that time (to stop you from leaving) then you're good to go.
