The majority of the humans in Prehistory live in [[Ioka Village]], a tribal village overseen and protected by Chief [[Ayla]]. Ayla serves as the champion for humankind in this era, and is among the few humans strong and determined enough to stand and fight against the advances of the Reptites. The party experiences the pre-modern culture of the Ioka during a festival held in their honor, where they participate in events that are still present at the [[Millennial Fair]], 65,001,000 years later, such as tribal dance and drinking contests. | The majority of the humans in Prehistory live in [[Ioka Village]], a tribal village overseen and protected by Chief [[Ayla]].

The humans of this era are just starting to develop technology, though they have already progressed to the meager beginnings of a capital economy (using [[Fangs]], [[Feathers]], [[Petals]], and [[Horns]] as currency); Prehistoric craftsmen can create weapons and armor for every character in the party (though it is interesting to note that Ayla, the only party member from Prehistory, fights with her bare fists). Fangs, Claws, Petals, and Horns can be found by defeating enemies in the [[Hunting Grounds]], a jungle near to Ioka. The Hunting Grounds are periodically drenched by torrential rain, during which it is possible to engage a [[Nu]] in combat. Defeating the Nu provides a large number of all four currency, as well as a [[Mop]], which [[Crono]] can equip. | [[File:Prehistory_FMV.jpg|thumb|Prehistory in the FMV of the [[PlayStation]] release.]]The humans of this era are just starting to develop technology, though they have already progressed to the meager beginnings of a capital economy (using [[Fangs]], [[Feathers]], [[Petals]], and [[Horns]] as currency); Prehistoric craftsmen can create weapons and armor for every character in the party (though it is interesting to note that Ayla, the only party member from Prehistory, fights with her bare fists).

The only other major human settlement is never fully explored by the party, as it is initially hidden in the jungle and the later destroyed. This village, [[Laruba Ruins|Laruba]], is populated by humans who have chosen to hide themselves rather than fight the Reptites. The village, and the forests surrounding it, are burned down by Reptites during the course of the game, and the party only explores the ruins in the aftermath. It is implied that the chief of Laruba Village controls access to the [[Dactyl Nest]], a nearby mountain range. Dactyls (large, winged dinosaurs) have been tamed (though not apparently domesticated) by the people of Laruba, and can be used as flying mounts with the Chief's permission. | The only other major human settlement is never fully explored by the party, as it is initially hidden in the jungle and the later destroyed.

In stark contrast to all other areas of Prehistory is the massive [[Tyranno Lair]], a technologically superior Reptite fortress. Only reachable by air, the Tyrano Lair houses the Reptite's most fearsome warriors and weapons, including [[Nizbel]] and the dreaded [[Black Tyranno]]. The Tyranno Lair is actually the impact site of Lavos' descent to the earth's surface, and is almost completely destroyed during the course of the story. The buried ruins of the Lair are later found in the [[Middle Ages]], called [[Giant's Claw]]. | [[File:Kino_Ending.png|thumb|Kino and Ayla ride [[Dactyl]]s in one of the many [[List of Chrono Trigger endings|endings]] of {{CT}}.]]In stark contrast to all other areas of Prehistory is the massive [[Tyranno Lair]], a technologically superior Reptite fortress.

After Lavos strikes the planet, the natives of Prehistory comment on the decreasing temperatures, indicating the beginning of the Ice Age that would dominate the surface of the planet during the age of [[12000 BC|Antiquity]]. | After Lavos strikes the planet, the natives of Prehistory comment on the decreasing temperatures, indicating the beginning of the Ice Age that would dominate the surface of the planet during the age of [[12000 BC|Antiquity]]. | ||
