ABOUT

A generally placid and peaceful grazer of grass and ferns, the Hadrosaur is a danger only in large numbers. Shy, these creatures prefer to avoid trouble. However, each herd keeps several of its number on lookout. When danger threatens, the herd bunches together, placing young and pregnant females in the center. If the threat attacks, the herd attempts to move away en masse, but this direction is always away from the first threat and might lead to them trampling other hunters or running into a more dangerous situation.

Combat

Maiasauras lack any major defenses. The best they can do is strike at opponents with their tails. A maiasaura guarding a nest is fiercely protective of its offspring; they have even been seen standing up to tyrannosaurs in defense of their young, though against such enemies their efforts are often futile.

Maiasaura as Animal Companions

A maiasaura makes an appropriate animal companion for a druid of at least 10th level.
