monster Ornithosuchus
Ornithosuchus
Ornithosuchus somewhat resembles a theropod dinosaur, though it often walks quadrupedally, but is not. It is actually more closely related to crocodiles. It is about 12 feet long.
Nilbog of the Wizards Community forums.
It is a rather aggressive carnivore, and not particularly intelligent, but it will not attack large, well-armed parties. Lone humanoids or even small groups
might well be attacked, though.
