Description
You see a squat, massive herbivore with broad, earthen stripes across its hide. It seems equally comfortable loping on two legs or foraging on all four. A wicked spike projects from the side of each paw.
Iguanodons are adaptable and highly successful dinosaurs that grow roughly 30 ft. long and weigh five or six tons. They stoop low or crawl to browse on ferns and other low-growing plants, but otherwise walk on their hind limbs. With the few changes noted below, iguanodon stats can also be used to represent duckbill dinosaurs.
Combat
Iguanodons are generally peaceful herd animals, but are best kept at a distance owing to the readiness with which they defend themselves against perceived threats. An iguanodon uses its "thumb spikes" (which are not actually digits at all) to jab at the head and neck of an opponent.
If you use iguanodon stats to represent a duckbill dinosaur, omit these thumb spike attacks. A duckbill has only one attack; a slam for 1d8+13. Duckbills would rather flee into nearby water from any threat, attempting a panicked slam or trample only if denied this escape.
Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 25. The save DC is Strength-based.
Skills: *Iguanodons have a +8 racial Hide bonus amongst dense foliage, while duckbills receive a similar bonus in water.
