A lambeosaurus (pronounced: /lɑːmbioʊˈsɑːrʌs/ lam-bee-o-SAR-us[5]), also known as duck bill among denizens of the Malatran Plateau,[1] was a species of dinosaur.[3]
Description[]
The lambeosaurus looked like other hadrosaurs. Its main distinguishing feature was the two crests on its head. A crest of solid bone rose up from the back of the head, and a hollow crest was found on their snout.[3]
Combat[]
Lambeosaurs' main form of defense from predators was to simply outrun them. Otherwise, when a predator was detected, the lambeosaurus would conceal itself, ideally in a swamp or marshy area.[3]
Abilities[]
Lambeosaurs possessed excellent senses of hearing, sight and smell. This allowed them to detect the presence of a predator before it was directly threatened.[3]
Biology[]
Lambeosaurs were herbivores and lived together in herds. They had powerful teeth that allowed them to consume almost any vegetation.[3]

Notes[]
- ↑ The 2nd edition alignment given in the original source is "Nil", which should be read as Neutral according to this Sage Advice answer by Skip Williams in Dragon Magazine Issue #155: "The nil alignment rating is a holdover from an early draft of the Monstrous Compendium material. Originally, a rating of nil indicated that a creature was not intelligent enough to have an alignment at all. However, the nil rating was dropped during rewriting and should have been replaced with the neutral alignment."
