Okay, this was the primary thing I wanted to raise, and everything else was second after this thought: Megaraptor is actually not in the same genus as Velociraptor, Deinonychus, or Utahraptor at all - it is actually a closer relative to Spinosaurus, a large carnosaur. The claw is on the front...

I changed both of those text edits, and included the bonus in the save DC for Lambeonal's Resounding Wail. My thoughts on those SLAs (and these are only considerations): Since lambeonal has a sonic attack, shout is not as necessary for them, and in fact it was better suited to Gray's...

Great analogy, Shade. And thanks - that helps immensely. More to come, then. For those who want to do revisions in addition to the conversions, I set up a thread here: Prehistoric Animals Review & Revisions. I will try to get a re-written index posted as soon as I can. And you know, here's...

In addition to the Phantasy Prehistorium thread on fictional stuff for a prehistoric campaign setting world called Nym, other posted creature stats will be refined here for a full-spectrum of a prehistoric ecology. This forum will be for reviewing, revising, and statting prehistoric animals and...

I doubt WotC would appreciate anything I do, but that is another story altogether - they can reap the benefits of my work later when they have to pay me for it following their many years of thinking of their own superiority... For now, I am going to take that one day at a time. I will start...

Also, Prehistoric Animals Sea Turtle, Giant = Archelon, from Stormwrack Who can I speak with about potentially putting together a pdf/publication utilizing some ENWorld-hosted and -created content? I would like to put together a campaign setting compilation using prehistoric animals and some...

Does that mean I can begin posting the creatures found elsewhere that require a thorough review and revision? There are a lot of critters that would be an excellent resource if they were actually statted and balanced by people who know what they're doing.... Not that the last authors didn't -...

WHOOPS. :P ;) Thanks for that. Before anything gets published at any level, I will likely have to go through each of these and recreate the stats to make sure they are correctly formulated. I realized this as soon as I went back and realized that I included a size modifier to the...

Change of heart in naming: I decided that since the Gomphothere-dinoprim is going to be a culmination of mastodon, mammoth, and gomphothere, it should be called "Proboscidal" for the family of Proboscidea. It will have shovel-tusks like the Amebelodon, straight-pointed tusks like Platybelodon...

Ok, I am sold on the piscivore idea. No more shell-cracking statements from me. I am not sure why we would want any stat that would be optional, however. I say Attach should either be in or not, and that doesn't really affect how I see it so far, so I am neutral on the idea. Technically, it...

It was pretty much just an assumption because of current otter diet. I guess it would be beneficial to find out what kind of river/freshwater life they could have fed on instead... But I have no evidence in either direction. Rappy, do we have input from the experts?

It looks like Attach is erroneous for the needs of this creature. I still think an ability giving the creature some bonus or increased ability to smash or pry open small hard critters like shellfish of two size categories smaller (and hardness of so much...) might still be applicable. I was...

Great - and yeah, I was feeling bad about how slowly I was working compared to how fast you have been busting them out. ;) Pangolinal can be done soon because Eomanis is done in the other thread here - Mammothinal is gonna be from a culmination of gomphotheres... Which elephantine from the...

I do have a tendency of pushing the boundaries... :p ;) :D I like Agile Swimmer - niche-worthy and specific to this critter. Good suggestion. So... It's done then, yeah? I think that means I got all the beasties I needed for my campaign setting, and everything else I had to put forward...

I have the Lambeonal (Tsintaosaurus) nearly finished, and have begun working on the Ceratopsinal, Poseidonal, Tortoisinal, and Eohippinal (Torosaurus, Sauroposeidon, Archelon, and Hyracotherium). I know that I am for sure going to make Lambeonal and Eohippinal both powerful users of sigilry...

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I agree - blindsense seems farfetched in this instance, even at a 5 foot radius - even if it would be helpful in deep waters. What about a bonus to grapple checks when prying open mussels (or any creature of two size categories smaller than the otter)...

Would whisker-oriented blindsense only be functional underwater? If so, negate any of those arguments and leave it as is. If it deserves a look then I say let's do that - I like every animal to have its niche to claim persistence over many millenia, but not if it is unreasonable.

That looks really good as a standard, and I agree not to give it any attacks that aren't agreeable to its past. Is there any evidence or debate over the possibility to endure either extreme warm or cold, or even superior low-light vision (as Giant Owl) because of hunting below water or even...
