The premise, in the publisher's words

An apprentice magician dinosaur living in Monsterland, Theo Saurus, made a mistake while practising a spell one day.

Theo began living underground in a hidden cave to avoid the wrath of the other monsters until discovered one day by the hero of the story, Mayhem.
