Blood Raptors
These are the most common of all raptors and are known for
their uncanny sense of smell and ability to track their prey.
Their pack instincts and superior sense of smell makes them
ideal companions or mounts for many hunters and
mercenaries. However, these raptors tend to be especially
dangerous and unruly whenever they catch the smell of blood
which them to enter in a violent feeding frenzy.
Blood Raptor Tactics
Blood raptors are very aggressive and will not shy away from
attacking colossal prey or even other apex predators. They
tend to hunt in large packs of about 13(3d8) members. Their
favorite method of hunting is to target the weakest member
of a group and harry it with a flurry of bites and claws before
fleeing beyond the reach of its prey. When the creature is
sufficiently bloodied and injured, the raptors close in for the
kill latching onto the prey using its hooked claws to slow it
down, bleeding it to death. If their target is much stronger
than it, it will resort to hit and run tactics draining their foes
stamina and then swarm it once it is exhausted.
Bone Raptors
Despite their intimidating appearance, bone raptors are quite
peaceful creatures, at least towards other living beings.
Although bone raptors are primarily scavengers feasting on
corpses, they do possess an instinctual desire to consume

action tactics differ greatly from their kin. Instead of stealthily
stalking their prey, bone raptor packs tend to lure the undead
into ambushes. Bone raptors know the dangers of their
undead prey and will rarely engage large hordes of undead
directly rather attempting to divert stragglers away from their
hordes. Typically, 3(1d4) bone raptors will lure roaming

Mole Venator
Primordial Venators
Whereas most venators tend to hunt organic creatures, the
primordial venator has evolved to hunt deadlier prey such as
elementals. They have specially evolved to hunt these types of
creatures by developing an innate resistance to extreme
temperatures and other elemental effects. They also have
keen senses that are able to pick up the magical aura that
elemental entities within 1 mile of its location.
Primordial Venator Tactics
Primordial venators tend to hunt in areas that serve as
elemental hotspots such as a volcano. However they can
drawn to a strong elemental presence, such as a portal to one
of the Elemental Planes. These creatures tend to hunt in
small groups of 3(1d4) in search for elemental prey. They
tend to target smaller elementals such as mephits or
salamanders but have been known to attack much larger
ones if they have sufficient numbers. Thanks to their thick
hide and specially evolved teeth, they are able to pierce
through any natural defenses that elementals may possess
while shrugging off any counter attacks from that elemental.

25
Savage Venators
The savage venator is one of the smaller species of venators
only a little larger than the brute venator. Although many
venators are largely solitary, savage venator often reside in
small packs of 5(2d4). However, there have been accounts
where multiple packs of savage venators have worked
together to hunt huge herds or truly colossal creatures. The
most disturbing account was where multiple savage venator
packs attacked a large settlement in search of food due to the
scarcity of prey in the wilds. Coupled with their superior
speed and sense of smell, groups of savage venators are often
regarded as a greater threat than their larger kin such as the
infernal and tyrant venator.
Savage Venator Tactics
Savage venators are particularly cruel in their hunting tactics.
They often target one or two creatures at a time in a group
quickly shredding it with their teeth and claws. If the target is
smaller than them, one typically snatches its up with its jaws
and uses its superior speed to carry back to the rest of the
pack where they all proceed to tear into it before pursuing
their next quarry. If the target is too big, they attempt to
knock it over while the rest take advantage of its vulnerable
position. To make matter worse, if a creature is significantly
injured, they enter a savage frenzy wherein the pack will all
target in on that creature to finish it off.

Winged Venator
Winged venators are a highly evolved form of dinosaur that
has fully developed the capacity of flight. Despite their similar
appearance, these creatures are closer related to the venator
versus the dactyl. These creatures represent the supreme
predator as they are the masters of the hunt both on land and
in the air.
Winged Venator Tactics
Winged venators are extremely versatile hunters. Their lithe
bodies allow them to nimbly pursue even the most agile of
airborne prey.
When hunting terrestrial prey, the winged venator simply
uses its powerful jaws to lock its prey and proceeds to drop it
from high altitudes to let gravity take care of the rest.
If its prey seeks to use the cover of trees to close off its
escape, the venator is able to take the ground to pursue after
its quarry due to its lightning fast speed.

but some species tend to be very territorial if they feel their

32
Titan Saurians
Titan saurians are the largest of all dinosaurs and are
believed to be the largest of all land-dwelling creatures. They
typically possess a long neck that surpass the treetops and a
muscular body that weigh around 70 tons. They come in a
wide variety of appearances sporting leathery scales to being
covered in colorful downy feathers that almost resembles fur.
They tend to live in small herds grazing lush jungles and
swamps to sate their enormous appetite.
The largest of their kin dwarfs nearly any building save
those such as castles or strongholds. Thanks to their size,
they hardly fear any natural predator as few beasts would
dare hunt by themselves. In the rare instances they are
hunted, it is typically when large groups of predators come
together to bring these behemoths down. Their sheer size is
their greatest weapon as they quickly crush any creature
careless enough to find itself underneath its trunk-like legs.
Its mere steps are known to cause localized tremors capable
of knocking any nearby creature to the ground. Finally, its
tree-like tail can be whipped about with surprising speed and
accuracy capable to shattering the bones of its target.
Titan Saurian Tactics
Titan saurians rarely flee from an attack. Instead it will use
its sheer size and weight to unbalance its foes and then
trample it underfoot. However, hunting titan saurians are
particularly dangerous because they live in small but close
knit herds. So normally when one titan is attacked, another
may come to help its kin. That is why most accounts of
slaying a titan saurian typically involve one that was
separated from its herd.

Living Tail(1/day) When the saurian starts its turn below
half its hitpoint maximum, it can break off its tails as its
seemingly comes to live. The tail has 50 hitpoints, an
15 AC, has blindsight up to 30ft, and is immune to all
conditions. The tail can remain animated for one
minute or until it reaches 0 hitpoints. It acts on the
saurians initiative either before or after the saurian's
own action and can make one tail attack against the
nearest creature within range that is not the saurian.
The saurian loses its tail attack for the next 24 hours
until its regrows another tail at the end of this period.

Reaper Saurian
Of all long-necked saurians, the reaper saurian is the
deadliest. One of the primary reasons is that this creature is
actually an omnivore that feasts on vegetation and flesh.
The reaper saurian spends the majority of its time in lakes,
rivers, and swamps wherein it can conserve a lot of its
energy. These locations also serve as an ideal location
hunting grounds for it as well.
Reaper Saurian Tactics
Due to its large size, the reaper saurian must rely on rather
clever tactics to acquire living prey. Due to its similar
appearance to other long-necked saurians, it is able to
approach many herbivorous creatures without much of an
issue. Using its large size, it will deliberately impale smaller
prey in an attempt to cripple it with its tail spines before
swooping in with its long neck for the killing blow.
Another tactics it enjoys using is to submerge itself like a
nightmarish crocodile before lunging out the water dragging
its prey down to the murky depths using its long neck. While
underwater, one of its favorite prey are humanoids as it is
able to use the reach of its neck to pick unfortunate victims
off one by one.
If desperate enough, the reaper saurian will even present
itself as prey for other carnivores to trick them into hunting it.
Once the unsuspecting carnivore makes the mistake of
approaching it, it will reverse the role using its deadly tail
spines to prevent its escape crushing it beneath its colossal
feet.

Spined Saurian
Spined saurian are have quite an intimidating appearance as
its body is covered with rows of sharp spines the length of
swords. These spines specifically serve the purpose
discouraging any predator from attempting to make a meal
out of it. However, predators that are still not discouraged
often find themselves at the mercy of its tail full of elongated
spikes. The spines of this dinosaur are particularly dangerous
for they have adapted to cause a creature to experience
excessing blood loss. As a result, its tail swipes tend to be
quite lethal. If the the target survives the initial blow, it tends
to typically die from its wounds.
Spined Saurian Tactics
Its spines not only serve as a deadly defense, but also serves
as a method of communication. Their body spines have a
bioluminescent property allowing its to glow in the dark.
These dinosaur tend to use these spines to illuminate their
path at night preventing predators from sneaking up on them.
It also serves as a means of communication often signaling
for danger, warning intruders, or for attracting a mate.

Runeplate Saurian
The runeplate saurian is an extremely unique and rare breed
of dinosaur thanks to its natural sensitivity and resilience
against magical effects. The source of its true origins has
always been the subject of debate. Some scholars argue that
the runeplate saurian is not a naturally occurring species of
dinosaur, but rather a creation through magical
experimentation. Others believe it is simply the result of
inevitable evolution, especially due to the magical nature of
the Material Plane.
Regardless of its origins, the source of its arcane sensitivity
resides within its dorsal plates. Each of these plates seems
possess a pattern unique to each individual creature that at
its very core seems to be patterned after magical ley lines
that exist in the very fabric of the planes. These patterns give
the runeplate saurian a natural sensitivity to magic often
causing their plates to give off a peculiar glow when in the
presence of a particular school of magic. It is believed that
their migrational behavior is actually influenced by
fluctuations in magical energy such as solstices or eclipses.
Because of this, many arcanists actually tame these beasts
to study their behavior to predict the appearance of magical
phenomena as well as using their plates as an ingredient for
numerous magical items and elixirs.

Shieldhorn Saurian
Shieldhorns can be distinguished by their often colorful and
sometimes feathered frills along with their lance-like horns
protruding from their foreheads. Shieldhorns tend to be
rather short tempered, rarely tolerating the prolonged
presence of humanoids or carnivores. When threatened,
shieldhorns tend to stick together and stand their ground
shielding the young and frail members of the herd behind a
shield of horns. Their herds are often accompanied by other
herbivores who use their presence as a deterrent to
predators.
Shieldhorn Tactics
Shieldhorns will actively engage a creature that threatens it
or its herds. When angered, their are surprisingly agile,
quickly charging at their foes, goring them with its horns.
What makes an angered triceratops even more dangerous is
that they are normally accompanied by other members of the
herd, quickly turning the odds in their favor.
