Sure, why not?

What, you don't like dinosaur-riding lizard-folk? Whever not?
Something like the Green cries out for dinosaurs as it is the perfect habitat for them. If you've got dinosaurs then you need someone to ride them and why not lizardmen?
Did I say dragons in the Wiki writeup? Well, dragons and dinosaurs.
Call them something else, but they are fun and they scare PCs silly.
If you make them into an elder race full of wisdom then they are like Dragonewts, which people don't like because they are Gloranthan.
I'd make them the Guardians of the Green, Keepers of the Ancient Ways, Descendants of the Ancients with a lot of Ancient Technology/Magic in their Cities. Give them a Gate as well, for fun. Make them tough so people won't mess with them, or make them weak with big pets so people don't mess with them. Make them bloodthirsty to scare people away.
But, I was just throwing ideas around.
I could see the Green as being written with just one culture and one set of people which would spoil such a large and diverse area.
