Amazingly stealthy for their size and capable of entering even shallow water, piranhadon hunt by detecting vibrations at the water’s edge with their barbels. They are capable of leaving the water for short periods of time, using their powerful fins to haul themselves onto a bank like a seal, to allow birds to pluck off their many parasites. The females of the species, represented by the statistics above, usually grow to 50 feet long and can grow even longer. The males are relatively tiny, rarely getting more than 20 feet long. Use the stats for huge sharks for male piranhadons, removing the keen scent ability and replace it with swallow whole, tremorsense, and the racial skill bonuses.CombatA piranhadon strikes from ambush, grabbing a dinosaur (or adventurer) at the water’s edge and pulling it under the surface. If the prey item is small enough, it will swallow the unfortunate creature whole – otherwise it will pin it underwater and let it drown before messily devouring it.Improved Grab (Ex): In order to use this ability, the piranhadon must hit an opponent with its bite attack. It can then make a grapple attempt as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the piranhadon gets a hold, it can attempt to swallow its opponent whole.Swallow Whole (Ex): A piranhadon can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of up to two sizes smaller by making a successful grapple check. The swallowed creature takes 4d8+12 points of bludgeoning damage and 8 points of acid damage per round from the piranhadon’s gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 40 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 16). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. A Gargantuan piranhadon’s gizzard can hold 2 Large, 8 Medium, 32 Small, or 128 Tiny or smaller opponents.Skills: A piranhadon gains a +12 racial bonus to all Hide and Move Silently checks. A piranhadon has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim checks to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always take 10 on Swim checks even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.Copyright 2006 Nicholas Herold. The World of Kong copyright 2005 Weta Workshop.Demiurge out.</blockquote>
