Deinonychus

Deinonychus are smaller dinosaurs in the valley of Eodon. But don't let their size of six foot fool you. Deinonychus run especially fast on two legs. To make matters worse, they co-ordinate each other and hunt in packs. This means that a whole group of agressive Deinonychus is certain death for the unprepared adventurer.

Only big, well equipped parties have a chance against that threat.

Lore
''The Deinonychus dates to the early Cretaceous (some 144 million years ago) and is a fast-moving carnivorous dinosaur which runs on two legs. It grows to about 12 feet in length, stands around 6' in height, and weighs as much as a man. While living with the Yolaru tribe, I had opportunity to see a pack of Deinonychus hunting, attacking, and killing a juvenile apatosaurus, a most remarkable and illuminating sight. It is my hope that in future letters I may provide commentary on the social structure of the Deinonychus and other saurian species.''
