This bipedal dinosaur has a small head with a crested nose. It tucks its forearms close to its body and runs swiftly after a low-flying bird, its long tail trailing behind it. As it draws close to its prey, it opens a mouth filled with sharp, conical teeth.
The ornitholestes, or "bird robber", is a swift, bipedal theropod. Its name derives from its ability to snatch birds out of the air. In addition to birds, ornitholestes feed on eggs, lizards, small mammals, and even carrion.
Its forearms end in strong hands with two long clawed fingers and one short one. Although it doesn't attack with these claws, it can use them to grasp prey as it feeds.
An ornitholestes is about 7 feet long and weighs about 25 pounds.
COMBAT
An ornitholestes chases down small, low-flying birds and snatches them out of the air with its jaws.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an ornitholestes must hit a Medium or smaller with a bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Sprint (Ex): Once per hour, an ornitholestes can move ten times its normal speed (600 feet) when it makes a charge.
Skills: An ornitholestes has a +4 racial bonus on Balance checks.
