Cryptoclidus is a plesiosaur, a 3-meter-long aquatic reptile much like elasmosaurus. Its neck isn’t as long, proportionately as that of elasmosaurus, but the creatures have similar ovoid bodies. Cryptoclidus propels itself through the water by “flapping” four paddle-like fins. Its tail is also finned.

Ankylosaurus is a heavily armored quadrupedal herbivore. It is a versatile plant-eater, equally at home among temperate forests, humid marshes, and dry grasslands. These creatures sometimes travel in herds for added protection from larger predators.
The typical ankylosaurus is 7.6 to 10.7 meters in length, 1.4 meters tall, and 2.1 to 2.4 meters wide. A bony, armored shell covered with spikes protects its back and sides, giving the dinosaur the appearance of some infernally armored siege machine. This carapace protects the dinosaur from most attacks – indeed, those who have wounded an ankylosaurus and lived to tell the tale swear that the only way to harm the beast is to strike it on its underbelly. Its wide, flat, armored head protects a tiny brain. Its four legs are quite muscular, and it can rear up on the hind pair to reach the tender leaves of some of its favorite plants. Its heavy tail is tipped with a massive club, which the ankylosaurus can swing with devastating force and accuracy. This can cause even the most determined predator to think twice before attempting to make a meal of ankylosaurus.

Quetzalcoatlus Forest, Hills, H9D1B7

Recon 11 Number
Bite (11d6+1) 2 wings (6d6+2) Hide (5) Encountered 2d6
Technically not a dinosaur, quetzalcoatlus is a massive flying reptile. This fearsome predator glides through the skies searching for meals. Although not adverse to eating carrion, it prefers fresh meat or fish. Quetzalcoatlus has a long neck and head, and a relatively large brain. Its “wings” are flaps of skil extended and controlled by its forelimbs and specifically evolved fingers.
Combat
Whet hunting over water, it flies low and scoops fish and aquatic reptiles from just below the water’s surface. It also attacks small land creatures when it can find them. Vulnerable to other predators while on the ground, quetzalcoatlus prefers to swoop down, snatch its prey in its jaws, and then struggle to regain altitude while swallowing its catch.

Hide 3 Number Encountered 2d6
A deinonychus is bright green along its back and flanks, with a much lighter shade of the same color on its underside. The body has darker spots or stripes. Its tail extends straight out behind itself, held aloft by an intricate structure of bony supports, thus allowing its weight to be carried entirely by the back legs. It weighs about 272.2 kilograms.
Combat
A deinonychus uses a combination of speed, grasping forearms, large teeth, and hind legs with ripping talons. It hunts by running at prey, leaping, and ripping with its rear talons as it claws and bites. The talons count as one attack. A deinonychus has a relatively large brain for a dinosaur, and its pack hunts with cunning tactics.

Though it resides primarily in the water, an elasmosaurus only breathes air. An elasmosaurus has a total length of some 30 feet, including a tail half as long as its entire body, and weighs about 5,000 pounds. Observers who see only its head or tail might easily mistake it for a massive snake.
Combat
An elasmosaurus is aggressive and attacks anything it notices. The creature is strong, fast, and highly maneuverable, able to turn quickly and lunge at prey. When hunting, it travels with its head out of the water, snapping down quickly to seize prey.
