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.
