Utahraptor

Utahraptors were a large species of carnivorous dinosaur.

Description
Similar in appearance to deinonychus but much larger, utahraptors stood upright on two legs with a large tail for balance. They had 12 inch (30 cm) long claws on their feet, as well as razor-sharp teeth and arms ending in 10 inch (25 cm) long claws. They had excellent natural camouflage, with brown skin with green striping.

Combat
An attacking utahraptor was vicious and brutal. Their teeth and claws caused horrible damage. The claws on their feet were sharp enough to eviscerate a creature. They were strong and agile. They used their camouflage to attack prey in ambush attacks. Their legs were very powerful, allowing them to leap up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) height, up to 40 feet (12 meters) if they had a running start. They have a natural immunity to fear-based spells.

Society
Utahraptors were pack animals. Their packs were matriarchal, with the strongest and largest female as leader. They co-operated with each other and co-ordinated their attacks. They were territorial and very protective of their young.

Ecology
Utahraptors lived in dense forests or jungles. Their diet consisted purely of meat.
