Dinosaur, Pteranodon

CR 3.00 Animal N Large HD 5

This flying reptile has two huge wings and a distinctive backward-sweeping crest decorating its head.

Description

The pteranodon is not itself a dinosaur but rather a large flying reptile that is often found in areas dinosaurs are common. Its flight lacks grace, so it lands on the ground to fight foes it can't carry away.

A pteranodon has a wingspan of 30 feet but only weighs 40 pounds.
