Converting prehistoric creatures

Updated.

Exaeretodon (the Medium cynodont) was 6 feet long, so Diademodon would probably be longer. Looking at pictures they seem to be built similarly.
Also, you listed its reach as 10 feet, whereas it should be 5 feet because it is a quadruped.

Aside from my nitpicking, are we done?

Nice catch on the reach.

About the length...isn't a small cow about 5-6 feet long? If so, we should probably either remove the "size of a small cow" bit and increase the length, or just eliminate the length and stick with the "small cow" bit and weight.

I'd stick with the 'small cow' bit and the weight, and drop the length.

Sounds good. Updated. I think we're done now.

All right then, let's get started on the dicynodonts! I've come up with a list of species and their sizes.

Dicynodon – average ~4ft (Small, advanced specimens may be Medium)
Diictodon – 18 inches (Tiny)
Kannemeyeria – ~10 ft (Large)
Lystrosaurus – 'pig sized' (Medium)
Placerias – 3.5 meters long and 1-2 metric tons (Large, advanced specimens may be Huge)
Robertia – ~8 inches (Diminutive)
Stahleckeria potens – 13 feet long and 880 pounds (Large)

Nice summary! We should try to come up with a HD breakdown as well before we get started.

I'm in favor of:

Diictodon: Tiny, 1 HD (suitable for being a familiar, grants a +2 to Survival checks)

Dicynodon: Small, 2 HD (advances to 4)

Lystrosaurus: Medium, 5 HD (advances to 8)

Placerias: Large, 9 HD (advances to 18, with 15-18 HD being Huge)

Sounds good. I'd throw Robertia in there as well, simply because there aren't enough Diminutive prehistoric creatures.

Robertia as 1/2 HD, familiar, grants +2 to Hide?
