Moschops is a large, plant-eating animal ths herding animal lived and went extinct before the dinosaurs evolved. It may have been preyed upon by carnivorous therapsids, like Titanosuchus and Lycaenops.

Its a mammal-like dinosaur that is known for its brute strength and its incredible stubbornness. Moschops was a bulky quadruped; the front legs were sprawling but the rear legs were more column-like. It was about 16 feet long and had a barrel-like chest. A massive, thick skull (about 4 inches thick) and uses this thick skull to engage in head-butting over territory and sexual displays.

When surprised or frightened, it typically charge first, using their ram ability. Then they turn, use their musk, and flee. If neither of these tactics dissuades a predator, they use their powerful jaws to tear at their enemies.

Even though a typical moschops is incredibly stubborn, it can be tamed though and make excellent trackers once they have been domesticated.

Moschops are a relatively inoffensive beast that would rather run away and Hide than fight.

Combat

Stubborn (Ex): When a moschops is being trained the DC to teach the creature any ‘trick’ is increased by 4.

Head Butt (Ex): It typically begins a battle by charging at its enemy, lowering its head to bring its massive, thick skull into play. In addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge, this allows the beast to make a single attack with a +13 attack bonus that deals 4d6+9 points of damage.

Musk (Ex): Once per round and no more than three times per day, a it can emit a line of yellowish sulfuric liquid to a range of 10 feet. A creature in the area must make a successful Reflex save (DC 18) or be blinded and nauseated for 1d4 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +2 racial bonus and a +2 bonus from its Ability Focus feat.

A delay poison or Neutralize poison spell removes the effects from a nauseated creature. Creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected by the nauseating effects of moschops musk but are still blinded if they fail their save. Additionally, the target suffers a -10 circumstance penalty to Hide checks while wearing clothes or armor contaminated with moschops musk.

The creature also suffers a -4 circumstance penalty to all Charisma-based skill checks while wearing contaminated clothes or carrying contaminated gear. Flesh, leather goods, metal goods (weapons, armor, and the like) must be washed in a concentrated mixture of vinegar over a period of three days in order to fully remove the stench of moschops musk. The prestidigitation spell cannot clean items stained by its musk.

Skills: A moschops has a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks. *In forested or overgrown areas, the Hide bonus improves to +8. Additionally they have a +4 racial bonus to Survival when tracking by Scent.
