Converting prehistoric animals

[Mortis]

Updated. I'll work on flavor text soon.

Just noticed that we need the flavour text for this one.

No hurry though just a head's up

Oh, BTW, if you want to see a video of a eurypterid and how it moves, check out the Walking With Monsters video from BBC at YouTube. It's in the first half.

I finally found the opportunity to watch this...fascinating.

The scorpions didn't appear to swim. Should we drop the swim speed?

 

[RavinRay]

The scorpions per se didn't swim, but their gigantic eurypterid cousins did. I'm glad you liked it.

So stick with Speed 10 ft., swim 20 ft.?

How about stats for this bear dog species:

Daphoenodon

Low slung, slim, shorter legs and a long, almost catlike tail. I suck at statting animals, but in my upcoming campaign, they are the prized pets of kings and noblemen.

Sounds good to me.

 

[RavinRay]

Yup, I'm for it too.

Will do. We're almost done with the eurypterid.

Speaking of which, I updated Homebrews. How's it looking now?

 

[DungeonmasterCal]

Looks good. I'd not mess with it!

Was this fella presented in D&D in previous editions? If not, it's not a conversion, but we can digress to come up with stats for it nonetheless. It should be fairly easy to extrapolate from the Amphicyon.
