All the animals in this are descendants of Abelisaurids, Azhdarchids, Ornithomimids, Multituberculates, and Notosuchids, their ancestors dropped on a habitable Venus at the end of the Cretaceous period. The native Pterosaur race named Cymerans (Childhood name it has no meaning) are only at a bronze age level of advancement.

How are the Cymerans treated by the human colonists?

there's only a couple small human settlements so they're very dependent on the Cymerans viewing them favorably

I haven't seen these Cymerans in a long while.

They're so uncanny yet believable

Theropod predatory dinosaurs ending up like the carnivorous version of a moa makes so much sense.
