[QUOTE="demiurge1138, post: 907819, member: 7451"] Greetings! I already posted this on the "Dinosaurs: Take Two" thread, but it fit the topic and you asked about aquatic dinos. It's not actually a dinosaur, but it qualifies for the "big reptile that's dead" catagory. Lioplureodon Colossal Animal (Aquatic) Hit Dice: 20d8+ 200 (290 hp) Initiative: +5 Speed: Swim 40ft AC: 19 (-8 size, +1 Dex, +16 natural) Base Attack/Grapple: +15/+48 Attacks: Bite +24 melee, 2 fin slaps +22 melee Damage: Bite 4d8+17 (19-20 x2), fin slap 2d6+8 (19-20 x2) Face/Reach: 40ft/15ft Special Attacks: Improved grab, swallow whole Special Qualities: Blindsight 120ft Saves: Fort +24, Ref +13, Will +9 Abilities: Str 45, Dex 13, Con 30, Int 2, Wis 16, Cha 6 Skills: Hide +9, Move Silently +15 Feats: Great Fortitude, Improved Critical (bite, fin slap), Multiattack, Skill Focus (Move Silently) Weapon Focus (bite, fin slap) Climate/Terrain: Warm or temperate ocean Organization: Solitary or pair CR: 11 Treasure: None Alignment: Always neutral Advancement: 21-60 HD (Colossal) The largest creature in the prehistoric ocean, the lioplureodon is a short-necked plesiosaur supremely adapted to hunting other aquatic reptiles. A liopluerodon resembles a mammoth reptilian whale over eighty feet long. Its four wing-like paddles stretch over twenty feet long, and its head composes about one third of its body length. Combat Surprisingly stealthy for a creature of its size, a liopluerodon prefers to ambush its prey from below, grabbing it in their massive jaws, shaking it violently, and then swallowing the still living creature for digestion. They are fiercely territorial, and will attack any intruders, such as ships, without provocation. Blindsight (Ex): Utilizing echolocation, a liopluerodon can discern objects and creatures within 120 feet.

Demiurge out. [/QUOTE]
