Astrosaurs Series - No. 14. Captain Teggs is no ordinary dinosaur - he's an astrosaur! On the incredible spaceship DSS Sauropod, along with his faithful crew, Gypsy, Arx and Iggy, Teggs rights wrongs, fights evil and eats a lot of grass! Teggs and the crew are sent on a special mission - to the Carnivore Sector.
King Jerk, one of the nicer, peaceful Carnivore rulers, has contracted deadly space mumps. The DSS don't want Jerk to die; his successor is violent and fearsome, so they've sent the only dinosaur in space - a herbivore, Dr Herrodon - who can cure him, along with the crew of the Sauropod, to help. But when they arrive at King Jerk's palace, things are not what they seemed at first.
