There are terms like 'slurpasaur' for modern reptiles dressed up as dinosaury things for movies, 'retrosaur' for creatures intentionally based on outdated ideas of dinosaurs, and 'chinasaur' for plastic toy dinosaurs of indeterminate taxonomy. I've even coined 'ludosaur' for realistic reconstructions of toy dinosaurs as plausible prehistoric animals. I haven't yet found a good name for the anatomically confusing and largely unidentifiable dinosaur-like creatures that appear in various media, such as comics and book covers. I've called them blobosaurs or lumpasaurs for the lack of a better term, because a common feature seem to be various bulging blobby... lumps where sensible anatomy should be, but if there's a better term, I'm not yet aware of it.
