This dinosaur is just over seven feet long, with a long, slender neck and tail. As you watch, it lifts its front legs, standing on its hind legs to reach some leaves high in the nearby tree. Its forearms grasp a branch, as if they had humanlike hands.
This prosauropod spends most of its time as a quadruped, but is capable of spending periods of time in a bipedal position in order to reach high leaves. Although generally herbivorous, with blunt teeth better suited for vegetation, anchisauruses have been known to eat meat.
An anchisaurus is just over 7 feet long and weighs around 60 pounds.
COMBAT
An anchisaurus only bites in retaliation, preferring to climb a nearby tree to escape predators.
Skills: An anchisaurus has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened.
