Its head is nearly 6 feet long, and its teeth are from 3 to 6 inches in length. A typical adult specimen is between 30 and 40 feet long from nose to tail.CombatA Tyrannosaurus pursues and eats just about anything it sees. They are surprisingly stealthy, and often hide in wait for passing prey. Its tactics are simple—charge in and bite.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a Tyrannosaurus must hit an opponent of up to one size smaller with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can try to swallow the foe the following round.Swallow Whole (Ex): A Tyrannosaurus can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of up to two sizes smaller by making a successful grapple check. The swallowed creature takes 2d8+12 points of bludgeoning damage and 8 points of acid damage per round from the Tyrannosaurus’s gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 14). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.A Huge Tyrannosaurus’s gizzard can hold 2 Medium, 8 Small, 32 Tiny, or 128 Diminutive or smaller opponents.SkillsA Tyrannosaurus has a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Spot, and Survival checks.*Its racial bonus to Hide increases to +8 in undergrowth.</blockquote>
