Seismosaurus (Dinosaur)

Seismosaurus
Restoration of D. carnegii with horizontal neck, flexible whip tail, keratinous spines and nostrils low on the snout

Seismosaurus is an enormous dinosaur that roams the earth during the late Jurassic period. This massive creature is the largest known dinosaur to have ever lived, measuring up to 150 feet in length and weighing up to 80 tons. Its long, slender body is supported by four powerful legs, each ending in three sharp claws that enable it to easily traverse the rough terrain it inhabits.

As its name suggests, Seismosaurus can create seismic waves that can be felt from miles away, thanks to the powerful vibrations produced by its massive footsteps. Its long, flexible neck allows it to graze on vegetation that is out of reach for most other herbivorous dinosaurs, and its sharp teeth make short work of any plant matter that it comes across.

Despite its massive size, Seismosaurus is a gentle giant that prefers to avoid conflict whenever possible. It moves slowly and deliberately, carefully surveying its surroundings for any signs of danger. However, when threatened, Seismosaurus can use its massive size and strength to fend off even the most formidable predators.

In conclusion, Seismosaurus is a truly remarkable creature that inspires awe and wonder in all who see it. Its massive size, strength, and unique abilities make it one of the most fascinating creatures to have ever walked the earth.

Seismosaurus is the largest known of the dinosaurs. It feeds on plants, often defoliating several square miles of terrain within the course of a few weeks.

Seismosaurus is an immense four-legged dinosaur with a small head, a bulky body, and a long neck and tail. Its nostrils are located high up on its head.

COMBAT

Seismosaurus is simply too big to have natural enemies—it dwarfs even the likes of allosaurus and tyrannosaurus. Seismosaurus is more likely to inadvertently step on an opponent than to intentionally use its tail slap attack.

Trample (Ex): As a standard action during its turn each round, seismosaurus can trample opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. This attack deals 10d10+22 points of bludgeoning damage. A trampled opponent can attempt either an attack of opportunity at a -4 penalty or a Reflex save (DC 41) for half damage.
