Description:
An allosaurus is a huge carnivorous dinosaur that runs upright on its large hind legs. It stands almost 15 feet tall, and weighs several tons. The allosaurus attacks by biting with its large jaws, which are filled with dagger-like teeth. The allosaurus hunts most often in lowland hills and plains. The allosaurus does not hoard treasure, but items belonging to past victims (treasure as listed above) are often scattered around its favourite hunting grounds.
Combat:
Dinosaurs take full advantage of its size and speed. The swift carnivores stalk prey, staying hidden in cover until they can get into charge range and rush to the attack.
