A creature that appears to be quite clumsy, the beast waddles along the bank like an odd amalgamation of lizard and hippo. A pair notice each other and suddenly burst into action that was completely unexpected from such animals.

Large amphibious reptiles, estemmenosuchus are common in the same habitats as many of the other dinocephalians. It is always unexpected when one of these creatures goes from waddling along a river bank to bursting into action. Some races such can use them as beasts of burden but they are notoriously stubborn. The Handle Animal check DC to domesticate an estemmenosuchus is 21.
