Its head is large and deep, with  powerful spike-toothed jaws. Proterosuchians are extinct relatives of modern crocodiles and  alligators. They came in many forms and included both aquatic and  terrestrial species. This entry describes an erythrosuchid, the apex  predator among the proterosuchians. Erythrosuchians are fierce predators  whose large heads resemble those of predatory dinosaurs. Their legs do  not sprawl like a lizard, but are held under the body, allowing  the  animal to stand almost erect. The other proterosuchians had long tails,  slimmer bodies, a sprawling gait and more modest sized heads. The other  proterosuchians use the Monster Manual entries for crocodiles or monitor lizards, depending on whether they dwell on land or in water. These apex predator proterosuchians ranged in size from 5 feet long to  over 15 feet. This entry describes an average sized proterosuchian such  as Shansisuchus. It is roughly 7 feet long, stands about 2 feet tall, and weighs 200 pounds or more. COMBAT A proterosuchian prefers to ambush its prey, but will stalk its victims  if it needs to. They move with a sudden burst of speed to reach their  intended victim, then try to grab their opponent in their jaws and worry  them to death. Burst of Speed (Ex): Up to three times per hour, a proterosuchian can increase its land speed to 60 ft. for 1 round as a free action. During this round, it gains a +2 dodge bonus to its Armor Class. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a proterosuchian must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, the proterosuchian establishes a hold on the opponent with its mouth and can worry.Worry (Ex): Each round a proterosuchian maintains a grapple, it shakes its prey violently, dealing its bite damage.Skills: Proterosuchians have a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Move Silently and Swim checks. *In forested or overgrown areas, the Hide bonus improves to +8.</blockquote>
