Prosaurolophus congregate in herds near floodplains, using their wide beaks to pick off low-lying vegetation. They have fleshy sacs upon the nose, which they use to communicate by bellowing. Their bellows can carry for miles, though they are not as loud or powerful as those of the larger-crested species.

An average prosaurolophus is between 26 and 30 feet long and weighs several tons.

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

Prosaurolophus are generally not combative creatures; they prefer fleeing to fighting. If cornered, a prosaurolophus will lash out with its tail. A prosaurolophus threatened by smaller carnivores may attempt to trample its attackers.

Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 22. The save DC is Strength-based.
