| | Definition: | | \The*rop"o*da\, n. pl. [NL., fr. Gr. ? a beast + ?, ?,
foot.] (Paleon.)
An order of carnivorous dinosaurs in which the feet are less
birdlike, and hence more like those of an ordinary quadruped,
than in the Ornithopoda. It includes the rapacious genera
{Megalosaurus}, {Creosaurus}, and their allies.
