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. A [I]Deinonychus[/I] has a total length of about 10-12 feet and stands some 4 feet tall, with a weight between 125 and 200 pounds. [B][SIZE=3] Combat[/SIZE] [/B]A [I]Deinonychus[/I] 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 [I]Deinonychus[/I] has a relatively large brain for a dinosaur, and its pack hunts with cunning tactics. [B]Pounce[/B] [B](Ex):[/B] If a [I]Deinonychus[/I] charges, it can make a full attack, including a Talon-Stab if its Improved Grab succeeds. [B] Improved Grab (Ex): [/B]To use this ability, a [I]Deinonychus[/I] must hit an opponent of any size with a bite or foreclaw 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, it establishes a hold and can Talon-Stab. A [I]Deinonychus[/I] has a +4 racial bonus to grapple checks. [B]Talon-Stab (Ex):[/B] When a [I]Deinonychus[/I] makes a full attack against a foe it is grappling with, its talons attack at +6 melee for 2d6+3 damage. [B] [SIZE=3]Skills[/SIZE] [/B]A [I]Deinonychus[/I] has a +8 racial bonus on Balance and a +4 racial bonus on Climb, Hide, Jump, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival checks. A [I]Deinonychus[/I] can use either its Strength or its Dexterity bonus on Climb checks. *Its racial bonus to Hide increases to +8 in undergrowth.
