''Happened'': [[65000000 B.C.]]

====Chrono Trigger====

The Reptite War was a prolonged conflict between the [[Early Human]]s and the [[Reptites]], with the settlement [[Ioka]] actively fighting the latter group. Reptite civilization was formed before the early humans founded theirs; at some point in the development of the two societies, a conflict arose over control of resources and the groups began warring. The Reptites' hardiness and intellectual abilities made them difficult to beat; additionally, they commanded outposts protected by natural defenses -- for instance, the [[Reptite Lair]] was only accessible through a [[Forest Maze]], and the [[Tyrano Lair]] was completely elevated off the ground. The fighting was not continuous, as each group was given to launching raids on the other. While the [[Iokans]] mounted a good defense against the creatures, the [[Larubans]] completely withdrew to the northern forests to escape the warfare. This was a problem somewhat, as only through the flying [[Dactyls]] could the Tyrano Lair be reached, and the Larubans alone could control the Dactyls. It is unknown how long the war initially progressed before [[Crono]] arrived in 65000000 B.C. searching for [[Dreamstone]]. After he arrived, chief [[Ayla]] threw a party for him at the [[Ioka Meeting Site]]. The Reptites took the opportunity to loot the site and steal the [[Gate Key]], prompting the sack of the Reptite Lair by Crono and Ayla soon after. The Reptites launched a devastating raid days later, burning [[Laruba]] to the ground and abducting [[Kino]] and others. Crono and Ayla once again undertook a rescue operation, ascending the Tyrano Lair with Dactyls and even challenging [[Azala]] atop the structure. Lavos soon impacted the planet, however, pushing the lair deep beneath the planet's crust and ushering in an [[Ice Age]] that would eradicate the remaining Reptites. This formally ended the fighting; the humans turned to survival and fled to the caves.
