Description:

A dimetrodon is a sail-backed, meat-eating dinosaur.  The "sail" is a comb of long bony spines connected by a webbing of skin.  The dimetrodon is about 10 feet long and weighs nearly a ton.  Dimetrodons hunt most often in hills and in the drier areas of swamps, in "lost world" areas.

 

 

Combat:

Trample (Ex): A dimetrodon may attempt to trample medium-size or smaller creatures for 2d10+5 points of damage.  Creatures who do not make attacks of opportunity against the dimetrodon may attempt a Reflex save (DC 23) for half damage.
