[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5871265, member: 92511"] I never used the dinosaur stats, myself, though many many moons ago, I did use the stats for a giant sea serpent. Threw in a steamy (i.e. boiling!) salt water breath weapon (a la ye olde dragon turtle) and used it as a "sea dragon." It had great big frills/fins at its side to launch itself up out of the water (a bit like a flying fish) but couldn't actually "fly" or even glide any real distance out of the water, just come up out of it to crash down on the other side of ships (or a party floating in the water/among the wreckage heh heh ;). It would/could attack creatures on land, but only about 20' from the water's edge (unless it used the breath weapon). Have had many fun times with pseudodragons! But as others have said, they're more for RPing good times. After their appearance in the &D cartoon in the 80's fairy dragons were kind of ruined for me. But I've had them around in certain settings (a highly magical elf wood, for example) for window dressing for a [I]short[/I] RP encounter. The "linnorm"/flightless/serpentine dragon types I've had in an encounter here or there...but you're right, they should probably see more play time and be more easily encountered/found (and defeated) than the giant flying lizards. Usually see them as more animalistic/"dumber" dragons. No spell use...probably don't speak...but their fire breath will burn you and their claws and bites will get you just as dead, just as easily, as their more "magically adept" winged cousins. Hydras are fun, though I haven't often used them. Always had a soft spot for behirs and dragonnes though. Have used the behir (of all homebrewed sorts, not just lightning breath/blue dragon cousins) many times. --SD [/QUOTE]
