Not even close. According to the Lore I've laid down involving the Reptile King, he is the only member of his species (an early reptile that amassed immense powers of several hundred million years of being alive) bit not the only one of his ilk (The Great Beast Kings.) The Great Beast Kings are essentially hyper evolved iterations of a type of animal. By living for a very long time they develop immense amounts of power and become something similar to a god. Somewhat akin to how animals and objects that grow very old gain power and become yokai in Japanese myth, only in a much grander scale.

To a mortal a the difference between a great beast king and a god is practically non existent, both being immortal and powerful enough to beyond resistance, they are completely different animals. Akin to a 1,000 lb crocodile and a 1,000 lb bear, both are completely different creatures but are equitable in terms of brute power and identical in the eyes of an ant.

Many Beast Kings have numerous titles and taken roles similar to gods. Like gods they can also have different aspects of reality under their dominion.
