I love these stories as great world building and a unique view of biology. It also contains winged humans which is good fodder for game use.
The Land That Time Forgot
The People That Time Forgot
Out of Time’s Abyss
It has a tropical river teeming with primitive creatures extinct elsewhere and a thermal inland sea, essentially a huge crater lake, whose heat sustains Caprona’s tropical climate. Burroughs postulates a unique biological system for his lost world, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis.
Caprona is described as a land mass near Antarctica, the island is ringed by high cliffs, making it inaccessible to all but the most intrepid explorers. The island is also called Caspak by its native humanoid inhabitants – thus the name of the trilogy.
Various prehistoric creatures reside on Caprona. Among the prehistoric creatures are:
Allosaurus
American Lion
Aurochs
Cave Bear
Cave Lion
Diplodocus
Hyaenodon
Labyrinthodontia
Mastodon
Merychippus
Plesiosaurus
Pteranodon
Pterodactylus
Smilodon
Tyrannosaurus
Woolly Mammoth
Woolly Rhinoceros
Caprona is home to various tribes. The following tribes are found on Caprona:
Band-Lu - A tribe of Cro-Magnons whose name means "Spear Men"
Bo-Lu - A tribe of Neanderthals whose name means "Club Men."
Galu - A tribe of educated humans.
Sto-Lu - A tribe of Missing Links whose name means "Hatchet Men."
Weiroo - A tribe of winged humans.
