Omwati
Bird-like humanoid, with blue feathers covering a human-like body; native to the planet Omwat. The Omwati are very intelligent. Omwat was plagued by imperial forces during the time of the Rebellion, and cities were obliterated to pressure captured Omwatis into working for the imperials.
Qwi Xux, the scientist who designed the Death Star and the Sun Crusher and who played an important role in the Star Wars Jedi Academy novels, is an Omwati.
Grimlock
1) In Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, a Grimlock is a large and powerful grey-skinned humanoid, looking rather like a grey orc. Grimlocks are primitive, but also vicious and aggressive.
2) In Transformers, Grimlock is the leader of the Dinobots. He transforms into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. A staple character throughout the entire run of the TV series and the comics, Grimlock even went through three different toy versions in Generation 1.

Orophin
1) Noldorin Elf, brother of Finrod, who was next in line to the throne of Nargothrond when Finrod was slain by Sauron. The weak-willed Orophin was usurped by Celegorm and Curufin, but took power with the aid of Beren after his return. He established Nargothrond as an unassailable hidden realm, but succumbed to pressure form Turin to adopt a more aggressive approach, and was slain in the sacking of Nargothrond.
2) Elf, brother of Haldir and Rumil, one of the three who encountered the Fellowship of the Ring on the borders of Lorien. He couldn't speak Westron.

Both are Tolkien characters.
Dinobot
A member of a (non-combining) Autobot team consisting of Grimlock, Sludge, Slag, Snarl and Swoop. These robots transformed respectively into a T-Rex, a brontosaurus/apatosaurus, a triceratops, a stegosaurus and a pterodactyl/pteranodon.
They were adapted as toys from the Diaclone range, and had the cockpits to show it. All five were released in the US and Japan, but Swoop was not available in the UK.
In the TV series, the Dinobots were portrayed as stupid, speaking in a dumbed-down dialect ("Me Grimlock, not like you"; "Me Slag want to hear story"; "Me Sludge not do what you say"). The story was that they were created on earth by Wheeljack, and were switched off after going berserk. They are exceptionally strong in the cartoon, able to easily dispose of regular Decepticons. They were regular features of stories such as "Desertion of the Dinobots", "Dinobot Island" and "Grimlock's New Brain".
In the comic, they were activated early, hence their being modelled on dinosaurs. Again, they appeared regularly, with one storyline devoted to an attempt to round up the Dinobots after they went berserk.

There is also an individual character in Beast Wars who goes by the name of Dinobot; he turns into a velociraptor.
