In the Traveller universe the Syleans once used to ride eight-legged lizards,
looking somewhat like a brontosaurus (long tail, long neck, small head), but
with a head more like a pterosaurus (long "beak", sharp teeth). Such a beast
(named a "poni" - misunderstandings programmed ...) was about 8 Meters
long, from (outstretched) head to (outstretched) tail, with the body half of
the length, and could probably carry at least two humans.
