Buy me a coffee(Dinosaur) Argentinosaurus, the Colossal Titan
“Argentinosaurus towers over the ancient landscape, an unstoppable giant that dominates all in its path!”
Argentinosaurus is a colossal sauropod dwarfing the tallest trees around it. Its massive, elongated neck stretches high into the sky, ending in a small, narrow head with blunt teeth for stripping foliage. Its thick, pillar-like legs support a bulk so immense it causes the ground to tremble with every step. A long, heavy tail sweeps behind, balancing its immense frame and capable of powerful strikes.
Behaviour:
Generally slow and deliberate, Argentinosaurus moves with surprising grace despite its size. It is a gentle giant, focused on foraging vast amounts of plant matter. When threatened, it uses its tremendous size and tail to defend itself, delivering devastating blows to any predator foolish enough to approach.
Habitat:
Argentinosaurus roams expansive floodplains and dense prehistoric forests, where tall conifers and cycads provide abundant food. It favors areas with open space to accommodate its immense size and avoid becoming trapped or cornered.
Modus Operandi:
This titan forages continuously, browsing high into the treetops or grazing on low-lying vegetation. Its massive bulk is both defense and deterrent—predators rarely challenge it unless desperate. When threatened, Argentinosaurus swings its tail with incredible force, creating shockwaves that can topple attackers.
Motivation:
Survival and sustenance dominate its existence. Argentinosaurus moves slowly but deliberately to maintain access to abundant food and safe ground. Its primary motivation is to live unmolested, using size and power to ward off danger, ensuring longevity and the ability to reproduce.

Combat
Thunderous Snap (Ex): Although an argentinosaurus is ponderous, its whip-like tail can move faster than sound. Any creature struck by an argentinosaurus’ tail slam must make a Fortitude save (DC 36) or be stunned for 1d4 rounds and deafened for 1d4 minutes. On a successful save, the creature is merely deafened for 1d4 minutes. The save DC is Constitution based.
Trample (Ex): An argentinosaurus can literally run over any creatures in its way that are of Gargantuan or smaller size. Creatures trampled must make a Reflex save (DC 43 half) or take 8d8+25 damage. The save DC is Strength-based.
