Podokesaurus (pronounced: /pdɑːkɛˈsɑːrʌspo-dak-e-SAR-us[4]) was a species of dinosaur.[1]

Description[]

Podokesaurs were small and looked like their cousins compsognathus.[1]

Combat[]

Podokesaurs were agile predators, striking first and fast. They hunted in packs and a pack of pdokesaurs were able to bring down larger prey.[1]

Habitat[]

Podokesaurs were most often encountered in forests and plains.[1]

Biology[]

Podokesaurs were carnivores and lived, and hunted, in packs. If food was scarce, it was not uncommon for podokesaurs to resort to cannibalism, eating weaker members of their pack.[1]

Notes[]

  1. 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."
