Dimetrodon -- its "two-measure" teeth help it shear the flesh of its hapless victims.
And since I name-dropped this creature yet again in last post's Top Ten Monsters List, here is Dimetrodon, statted for Labyrinth Lord:
Dimetrodon
# Encountered: 1d4
Alignment: neutral
Move: 120’ (40’), Swim: 90' (30')
AC: 4
HD: 5
Attacks: 1 (bite)
Damage: 3d4 +3

This 9' long sail-backed reptile is fiercely territorial and can swim. It is a voracious meat-eater often found in mated pairs or small packs.
[Adapted from "Dimetrodon" in Monster Manual II p. 52.]
The bones of the dimetrodon discovered by ancient greeks was the inspiration for a classical mythological monster.
ReplyDeleteWhat do we have here?
body of a lion
head of a bird
and long support bones for wings . . .
it must be a GRIFFIN
One of my favourite mammal-like reptiles! Nice to see some mid-level prehistoric fauna too.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to put together a MM of nothing but pterosaurs.
Could it be possible to get a D&D 3.5-version of its stats? I love the dino!
ReplyDelete@Canned: I'd love to help you there, but I don't know 3.5 well enough anymore to be the one to carry it out. Maybe someone else already has, an.or my friend Carl might be able to help you:
