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

Tsintaosaurus is usually a docile creature; unprovoked attacks are almost unheard of and are only ever made by males during the breeding season. When threatened by a predator, a tsintaosaurus bellows in order to warn the rest of the herd.

Deafening Bellow (Ex): Once per minute, a tsintaosaurus may unleash a deafening bellow as a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. All Huge or smaller creatures (besides other tsintaosauruses) within a 50-foot radius of the bellowing tsintaosaurus are deafened for 2d4 rounds unless they succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 26); if so, they are deafened for only 1 round. Creatures with 5 HD or fewer are also stunned for 1d6 rounds unless they succeed on their Fortitude save, which reduces the stun effect to 1d2 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based. This is a sonic effect, so deaf creatures are cannot be affected.

Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 23. The save DC is Strength-based.
