For some reason I was thinking that the Hydra was bigger than a dinosaur, but a quick glance at the SRD indicates that a triceratops (for example) is also Huge.[SBLOCK=Triceratops]    MonstersDigester - DopplegangerDIGESTERpictMedium Magical Beast Hit Dice: 8d10+24 (68 hp) Initiative: +6 Speed: 60 ft.

It weighs about 350 pounds,COMBATA digester is a hunting and eating machine. When it is not hungry (which is rarely), it lies low and avoids most other creatures. When hunting, it looks about for a likely target, then charges forth and delivers a gout of acid. If the initial attack is insufficient to kill the prey, the digester attacks with its hind feet until it can spray acid again.Acid Spray (Ex): A digester can spray acid in a 20-foot cone, dealing 4d8 points of damage to everything in the area. Once a digester uses this ability, it can’t use it again until 1d4 rounds later. The creature can also produce a concentrated stream of acid that deals 8d8 points of damage to a single target within 5 feet. In either case, a DC 17 Reflex save halves the damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.Skills: A digester’s coloration gives it a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks. It also has a +4 racial bonus on Jump checks.DINOSAURDinosaurs come in many sizes and shapes. Bigger varieties have drab coloration, while smaller dinosaurs have more colorful markings. Most dinosaurs have a pebbly skin texture.COMBATDinosaurs take full advantage of their size and speed. The swift carnivores stalk prey, staying hidden in cover until they can get into charge range and rush to the attack. Herbivores frequently overrun and trample their opponents.DEINONYCHUSMedium Animal Hit Dice: 4d8+16 (34 hp) Initiative: +2 Speed: 60 ft.

The body has darker spots or stripes. Its tail extends straight out behind itself, held aloft by an intricate structure of bony supports, thus allowing its weight to be carried entirely by the back legs. It weighs about 600 pounds.CombatA deinonychus uses a combination of speed, grasping forearms, large teeth, and hind legs with ripping talons. It hunts by running at prey, leaping, and ripping with its rear talons as it claws and bites. The talons count as one attack. A deinonychus has a relatively large brain for a dinosaur, and its pack hunts with cunning tactics.Pounce (Ex): If a deinonychus charges, it can make a full attack.Skills: A deinonychus has a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Jump, Listen, Spot, and Survival checks.ELASMOSAURUSHuge Animal Hit Dice: 10d8+66 (111 hp) Initiative: +2 Speed: 20 ft.

An elasmosaurus has a total length of some 30 feet, including a tail half as long as its entire body, and weighs about 5,000 pounds. Observers who see only its head or tail might easily mistake it for a massive snake.CombatAn elasmosaurus is aggressive and attacks anything it notices. The creature is strong, fast, and highly maneuverable, able to turn quickly and lunge at prey. When hunting, it travels with its head out of the water, snapping down quickly to seize prey.Skills: *An elasmosaurus has a +8 racial bonus on Hide checks in water.MEGARAPTORLarge Animal Hit Dice: 8d8+43 (79 hp) Initiative: +2 Speed: 60 ft.

A triceratops uses its trample attack on smaller opponents.Powerful Charge (Ex): When a triceratops charges, its gore attack deals 4d8+20 points of damage.Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 28. The save DC is Strength-based.[/SBLOCK]Of course, this leads to a similar (but more accurate) point. If the triceratops actually charged the way its Powerful Charge ability suggests, it'd break its beak.glass.</blockquote>
