Dinosaur, Anchisaurus
A small creature pushes over the fern and begins to eat it. It has to be at least 8 feet in length but it stands only about 2 feet at the shoulder. It lifts its graceful neck and stares at you without a thought of aggression.

They are not aggressive, attacking only in defense and when fleeing is not possible.

Combat
Anchisaurus would rather run than fight, but if forced to, it will swing at its opponents with its long tail as would any other member of its race.
