[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8723769, member: 57383"] If the mechanical elements are done I might as well whip up an Enworld version. How about: [B][SIZE=6]Description[/SIZE][/B] This terrestrial prehistoric cousin of the crocodile is about five times longer than a human is tall, including a tail more than 12 feet long. A [I]Fasolasuchus[/I] has a head resembling an [I]Allosaurus[/I] more than an alligator; deep and narrow rather than wide and flat. While generally crocodile-like in appearance, its four legs do not sprawl to the sides like a crocodile but are upright pillars tucker under its body. Its skin is thick and scaly, with a single row of scutes down the back. [I][B]Opportunistic Predator.[/B][/I] While some of its smaller Pseudosuchian relatives are omnivores and herbivores, a [I]Fasolasuchus[/I] is a meat-eater. They hunt on land, preying upon any animal they can catch and scavenging carcasses. The fully erect stance of this quadrupedal beast allows it to walk and run efficiently and it can move startlingly fast over short distances. It prefers to ambush or sneak up on prey, since it is somewhat slow and unlikely to catch a victim with a protracted pursuit. [COLOR=blue]EDIT: I've used taxonomically proper Capitalized Italics for the genera names in the above, the actual entry follows the 5E formatting standard of fasolasuchus and allosaurus, although it always irks me to be so unscientific! So the "published version" would use:[/COLOR] This terrestrial prehistoric cousin of the crocodile is about five times longer than a human is tall, including a tail more than 12 feet long.
