Brontosaurus (Venerian)

Description

The many varieties of large, quadrupedal plant-eating dinosaurs are popularly known as brontosaurs. These large, semi-aquatic creatures inhabit the marshes and bogs near the shores of the Venerian seas, although some inhabit the highland jungles as well. They are characterized by thick bodies, long tails, and long necks. Although normally herbivorous, these creatures will attack when they believe their young are threatened. They travel in family groups, and some are believed to be migratory.
