Development
The Non-Dino Squad was designed by Trent Troop. They were referred to as the Notasaurs in early development.
The names of the Non-Dino Squad members were revealed in a BMOG Kickstarter update in November 2013. Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad were to be part of a stretch goal if the Kickstarter raised at least $31,000.[1]
The packages for Ursenal and Mant-Axe had teaser co-sells for Featherblight and the Non-Dino Squad.
The Splashpoint was released on Shapeways in March 2017.

Fictional biography
The Non-Dino Squad were brought to life when weapons made by a group of evil interdimensional arms dealers were exposed to the power of the last world seed. They are members of the Augmentoids and rivals to the evil Featherblight. Synaxid turns from dimetrodon into an axe, Splashpoint turns from ichthyosaurus into a pistol and the Multi-Function Pterattacktyl turns from a pterodactyl into a crossbow or pick axe. They hate being mistaken for dinosaurs.
