Description
(inspired by Jurrasic Park)
Dilophosaurus
The Dilophosaurus is a small dinosaur who is about 4' tall, has a retractable neck frill, can spit poison at its enemies, and has a strong enough jaw to be a hunter instead of a scavenger. The brightly colored neck frill is usually laid back on the neck, but it is flared out just prior to an attack, when it feels threatened, and possibly to attract mates. Dilophosaurs can spit a mild neurotoxin up to 15' away, which causes paralysis (save vs. paralyzation is applicable) in 1-4 rounds. If the spittle hits the eyes of a creature (which happens on an unmodified roll of 20, or if the victim critically fails its save), blindness results in 1-3 rounds.
Velociraptor
Velociraptor is a descendant of Deinonychus. The velociraptor's tail, like Dienonychus's, is completely rigid, to help it balance like a long pole helps a tightrope walker. The raptor is especially vicious, easily overpowering human-sized opponents and repeatedly gutting its victim with its 6" rear claws for 2d6 each. It is also smarter than Deinonychus, with good pack attack tactics and good problem-solving abilities. Raptors can jump up to 15' either forward or straight up.
Gallimimus
Gallimimus has a loud honking voice. It is a herd animal which would rather run than fight, but it will fight, if necessary, with strong kicks from its rear legs. They are a favorite meal of large predators.
Parasourolophus
Parasourolophus, like Lambeosaurus, is a hadrosaur ("duck-billed" dinosaur). The Parasaurolophus, however, has a single hollow crest curving back from the top-rear of its head. It is thought that this crest is used for making hooting sounds. (Use the same statistics as the Gallimimus.
