Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs are found on alternate planes of existence, or even on lost continents. The frequency figures given are for areas where dinosaurs are normally found; in all other places, they are very rare at best. Dinosaurs, or “terrible lizards”, are reptiles descended from ancestral reptiles called thecodonts. Dinosaurs come in many sizes and shapes. Those presented here are generally large. Bigger species have drab colors, while smaller dinosaurs have a wide variety of markings. Most dinosaurs have a skin which is pebbly in texture; some closely related species of reptile have fur, and some may have feathers.

Allosaurus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived 155 to 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period

Physical Traits: One of the most vicious of predators, this monster can run across hard ground at great speed. In size, the allosaurus is between its two relatives, the smaller megalosaurus and the larger tyrannosaurus rex. The allosaurus has a massive skull, formed of bony plates that give it strength. The design of these plates is such that the head is still light enough to snap quickly at its prey. Besides feeding on the occasional brontosaurus and diplodocus, this “flesh lizard” is known to eat carrion. Few other creatures are foolish enough to fight the allosaurus for a share of its meal. Its teeth do 6D4 and the claws on each hand do D4.

Anklyosaur

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: Ankylosaurs lived in the Late Cretaceous Period 68-65.5 million years ago. It lived until the final stage of the Maastrichian stage during this period.

Physical Traits: Armoured body with club like tail, and spiky horns decorating its entire body. Ankylosaur was one of the most protected dinosaurs of its time. To protect itself, its back was covered in bony plates that were impenetrable, even its eyelids had bones in them. And if that wasn't enough, it had a giant club at the end of it's tail which was used like a medieval mace and swung an 45 degrees in either direction, it was made of soft-tissue, marrow, blood and fat. By swinging the club, it had enough force to break the leg bones of and immobilize most carnivores like Tyrannosaurus. The tail does D20 x2.

Aptosaur

Formerly known as Brontosaurus, it was originally believed to be sluggish, slow, and not very bright. Now it is believed they travelled long distances in packs like elephants, keeping the younger ones in the centre of the herd for protection. When attacked they may have raised up on hind legs, slashing with their tail and using their massive forelimbs as weapons. 

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the Late Jurassic.

Physical Traits: Long necked, long tailed body with a long low skull. Their hind limbs are longer and more powerful than their fore limbs. The tail does D20 and it can tilt itself up on its long back legs, then come crashing down onto its enemy to inflict 5D10 points of damage.

Archelon

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any ocean

Era: It lived during the Campanian-age

Physical Traits: This large marine turtle is not truly a dinosaur, but a reptile. Its shell is like that of a leatherback turtle – thick and rubbery rather than being formed of solid plates. With its powerful front flippers, the archelon is a fist swimmer; it seldom ventures on to dry land. Unlike most modern turtles, Archelon did not have a solid shell, but instead had a skeletal framework supporting a leathery or bony carapace. Other distinguishing features include a pointed tail, a narrow skull, a relatively narrow, high-vaulted shell, and a pronounced overbite. Teeth do D20.

Height: 3.7 metres

Brachiosaur

One of the largest dinosaurs.

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the late Jurassic. 

Physical Traits: It had longer fore limbs than hind limbs, much like a modern giraffe. It used its incredibly long neck to feed on the tops of trees. Its nostrils were located on a high bump on its head above the eyes. Its tail does D20.

Size: 12 metre height x27 metre length

Ceratosaurus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the Late Jurassic Period

Physical Traits: The ceratosaurus, or “horn lizard”, is a carnosaur, related to the allosaurus and tyrannosaurus rex, but smaller. Both heavy and fast, the ceratosaurus can move on all fours or on its hind legs. This carnivore is unusual in that it has a horn on its nose, but it does not use the horn for attacking – in fact, only males have this horn. The back of this creature also distinguishes it from other carnosaurs, for a thin line of bony plates runs from the top of the ceratosaurus’s head down to the end of its tail, making the dinosaur’s back look like a giant saw blade. Also unlike the larger carnosaurs, the ceratosaurus hunts in packs, and is thus able to bring down creatures much larger than itself.

Size: 6 metres

Deinonychus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the Early Cretaceous

Physical Traits: Large brained, light weight hunter designed for speed and agility. It ran upright and hunted both alone and in packs. It had strong forelimbs ending with grasping hands tipped with curved claws. Its muscular hind limbs ended with a nasty 5" long scythe like claw on each foot. Its tail was stiffened with bony rods to use as a counterweight for balance. Teeth do 3D10, claws do 5D10.

Dimetrodon

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the Cisuralian (Early) Permian

Physical Traits: The sail-backed dimetrodon is a fierce predator and an example of the mammal-like reptiles. Its large fin works like a solar heater, allowing the dimetrodon to heat up to active temperature hours before its prey. Its ability to swim is questionable but likely. The dimetrodon’s alligator-like jaws give it a powerful bite (3D4+3 points of damage), more than making up for its lack of a claw attacks.

Size: 2.7 metres length

Weight: 5 tons

Mobility: Legs

Sensory Organs: Visual

Dimorphodon

Dimorphodon is a genus of medium-sized pterosaur and the name means "two-form tooth", referring to the fact that it had two distinct types of teeth in its jaws – which is comparatively rare among reptiles.

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the early Jurassic Period

Physical Traits: The dimorphodon is a robust pterosaur with a distinctively large skull—yet numerous hollows in the skull keep the creature’s weight rather low and allow it greater agility. The dimorphodon’s jaws contain two separate rows of differently shaped teeth: several larger fangs near the front (which are used to grip prey and inject poison) and a much larger number of smaller, sharp teeth along the rest of the jaw (used to cut through flesh). This unusual combination of different teeth is why in some areas the dimorphodon is known as the “fangbird” or the “vampire lizard,” although they don’t actually drink blood.

Size: 1 metre length

Weight: 45 lbs

Mobility: Legs

Sensory Organs: Visual

Communication: Vocal

Reproduction: Sexual, egg

INT: D6, WIS: D6, STR: 3D6, DEX: 3D6, CON: 3D6, CHA: D6, MR: 30kph flight, HPs: 18, AC: 6, Thac0: 17

Abilities
None

Feeding Habits: Dimorphodons normally feed on fish, small reptiles, and birds, but when particularly hungry, flocks of these creatures have been known to gang up on larger prey, swooping in to bite and then retreating to watch from nearby cliff ledges or tree branches while the victim slowly succumbs to the poison. Once the creature is rendered helpless, the flock descends to eat its victim alive.

Lifespan: 110 years

 

Dinichthys

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any ocean

Era: It lived during the Late Devonian

Physical Traits: The name – “terrible fish” – reveals that this fearsome creature is not actually a dinosaur but a huge, primitive fish. Its great mouth can swallow man-sized prey on a natural attack roll of 20.

Height: 3.7 metres

Weight: 4.8 tons

Mobility: Flippers

Sensory Organs: Visual

Diplodocus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived at the end of the Jurassic period

Physical Traits: This sauropod lives primarily on water plants, so is often found in or near lakes and marshes. It and related species can also be found on fern prairies and in open forests. Though it usually ignores small things, it can step on anything in its way, or even rear up and come down on threatening creatures; this trampling causes 3D10 damage. The diplodocus can also whip with its tail for 2D8 damage.

Size: 24 metre length

Weight: 150 tons

Euparkeria

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived in the Middle Triassic

Physical Traits: A small dinosaur, probably ancestor to the larger carnosaurs, such as tyrannosaurus rex and allosaurus, the carnivorous euparkeria is about the size of a small dog. The euparkeria is found in groups of 2D4, which attack 1-2 figures of small size or a single man-sized if the odds seem to be with the pack. If sufficiently hungry a pack will stalk and attack even a large group of prey, especially of one of the intended victim is wounded.
While the euparkeria normally walks on all fours, if threatened it is able to stand up on its hind legs and run a short distance. The claws on each hand do D4.

Ichthyosaur

The Ichthyosaur is a particularly aggressive marine dinosaur. It dwells mostly in tropical seas, always seeking prey in the water when not sunning itself on rocks in between hunts. 

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any ocean

Era: It lived during the Mesozoic, into the Late Cretaceous.

Physical Traits: When in a frenzy it can lash at its victim with huge fore flippers, but its usual attack is a darting bite, as its long neck moves its head at great speed.

Height: 9 metres

Weight: 450 kgs

Mobility: It lumbers on its flippers when on land but swims rapidly.

Iguanodon

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived in the Mid Jurassic

Physical Traits: The iguanodon is a more primitive dinosaur that walks on all fours, but it can stretch up to reach vegetation that looks particularly appealing. The creature looks much like a small sauropod, but is more closely related to the hadrosaurs, such as the lambeosaurus and trachodon. Typically traveling in herds, the iguanodon runs from carnivores, but if cornered it can employ its thumb spikes (3D4 +3 each) and lashing tail (D20) to defend itself.

Lambeosaurus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived in the Late Cretaceous period

Physical Traits: This is a very common “duck-billed” dinosaur, bipedal, with a flat snout, and crests on its head. A peaceful herbivore, this hadrosaur prefers to run from attack; its only defense is its lashing tail (D20). It has excellent senses, used to detect predators.

Size: 6 metre length

Weight: 600lbs

Monoclonius

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived in the Late Cretaceous

Physical Traits: This dinosaur, also known by the name centrosaurus, somewhat resembles a single-horned rhinoceros. Its head and neck are protected by a bony shield (AC 3), while its skin is very thick – although not plated like that of the ankylosaurus. The monoclonius is herbivorous, and can eat almost any plant because of its strong jaws and teeth. The head of the monoclonius is attached to the neck much like a human arm is attached to the shoulder, so the creature can swing its head in almost any direction at a moment’s notice. The main attack of this dinosaur is with its horn, but herds can trample smaller creatures in a stampede, with each monoclonius inflicting 2D8 points of damage.

Size: 1 metre length

Weight: 300lbs

Mobility: Legs

Sensory Organs: Visual

Mosasaurus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any ocean

Era: It existed during the Maastrichtian age of the late Cretaceous

Physical Traits: The mosasaurus is a marine lizard, with species such as platecarpus and plotosaurus. This reptile breathes air like a crocodile. It travels very slowly on land, but its flippers move it with ease and grace through the water. The mosasaurus preys on all forms of marine animals – its powerful jaws can crack shell or bone easily (4D8).
Much of the length of the mosasaurus is due to the larger number of its vertebrae, numbering over 100 in some species.

Height: 15 metres

Weight: 5 tons

Mobility: It lumbers on its flippers when on land but swims rapidly

Sensory Organs: Visual

Nothosaurus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any ocean

Era: It existed during the Triassic

Physical Traits: The nothosaurus is a particularly aggressive marine dinosaur – another ichthyosaur. It dwells mostly in tropical seas, always seeking prey in the water when not sunning itself on rocks in between hunts. It lumbers on its flippers when on land but swims rapidly. When in a frenzy it can lash at its victim with huge fore flippers, but its usual attack is a darting bite (5D4), as its long neck moves its head at great speed.

Plateosaurus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the Late Triassic period

Physical Traits: The plateosaurus is a herbivore that generally moves about on all fours. When watching for enemies or reaching the leafy crowns of ferns, palms, or other trees, it travels slowly in a bipedal manner, using its tail as a balance. Plateosaurs travel in herds that migrate from feeding ground to feeding ground, and are common prey for carnosaurs such as the gorgosaurus. They swallow large stones occasionally to help grind up plant food in their stomachs.

Plesiosaur

The plesiosaurus tends to be very aggressive, attacking anything it notices.

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any ocean

Era: Plesiosaurs first appeared in the latest Triassic Period, possibly in the Rhaetian stage, about 203 million years ago. They became especially common during the Jurassic Period, thriving until their disappearance due to the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous Period, about 66 million years ago. They had a worldwide oceanic distribution.

Physical Traits: The plesiosaurus strongly resembles a snake with a turtle’s body (sans shell). The creature is strong and fast, and highly manoeuvrable in the water – it can “turn on a silver piece” to lunge at its prey. In a marine battle it can strike with its powerful fore flippers, inflicting 2D6 points of damage with each.

Height: 15 metres

Pterandon

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the Upper Cretaceous.

Physical Traits: Pterandons also known as Pterodactyls had wings formed by a skin and muscle membrane stretching from its elongated fourth finger to its hind limbs. It was supported internally by collagen fibres and externally by keratinous ridges. They had no teeth, but spears victims with its beak if they are too large to swallow at a gulp. The beak is about 4 feet long. Despite the creature’s huge wingspan, its wings are very light, and its furred body is only a little larger than a human being. It can carry off prey up to four times its own weight. Its beak does 5D4.

Quetzalcoatlus

Quetzalcoatlus northropi is an azhdarchid pterosaur and one of the largest known flying animals of all time. It is a member of the family Azhdarchidae, a family of advanced toothless pterosaurs with unusually long, stiffened necks. Its name comes from the Mesoamerican feathered serpent god, Quetzalcoatl.

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the the Late Cretaceous

Physical Traits: Perhaps the largest of the pterosaurs, the quetzalcoatlus (known to some as the “swamp stalker” and others by the misnomer of “dragonling”) is truly an awe-inspiring sight in the air, with its impressive 40-foot wingspan. On the ground, this creature’s profile bears an uncanny resemblance to that of a giraffe, save for the fact that the folded wings arch up to either side of its lightly feathered body, and its head bears a horrific, razor-sharp beak which does 3D8.

Rhamphorhynchus

Type: Dinosaur

Setting: Any

Era: It lived during the Upper Cretaceous.

Physical Traits: This pterosaur is a quick-moving reptile with a 5-foot wingspan, a narrow snout filled with dozens of needle-like teeth, and a long tail tipped with an arrowhead shaped ridge. Males are generally quite brightly coloured, displaying brilliant reds, greens, and bright blues, often bearing complex patterns like stripes; females tend to be more drably coloured. Although tiny, the rhamphorhynchus is swift and aggressive, and its attack method of swooping down suddenly to attack creatures allows it to bite with increased damage and ferocity. At the end of a sudden swoop, a rhamphorhynchus is typically at a disadvantage, and most won’t stick around to keep fighting in melee, instead taking to the air once more to gain enough height to swoop again in a few rounds. Their tiny size, erratic flight patterns, and swift reflexes make them difficult to affect with area effects. A pterosaur on the ground walks in a quadrupedal gait; the tips of its wings arc up alongside its body, while its lower torso remains closer to the ground than its shoulders and head as it moves. Its beak does D4 -1 damage.
