Description

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons:  There can be no question that this reptile is the most fearsome of all carnivorous dinosaurs.  Despite its huge size the monster is swift afoot.  Its huge head is nearly 180 cm long, and its teeth are from 7.5 to 15 cm in length.  It is a plains dweller, and so stupidly fierce that it will attack a small triceratops, kill it, and swallow its head in one gulp — thus killing itself in a matter of hours as the horns of the victim pierce the stomach of the victor.  Of course, this monster will pursue and eat nearly anything, engulfing man-sized creatures whole on an Outstanding Success.


Cadillacs and Dinosaurs:  The largest of the carnosaurs, Shivats are 12 or more meters in length and weigh about six tonnes.  They are upright bipeds and are less common than the similar (except for size) cutters.
