Dinosaur, Velociraptor

CR 2.00 Animal N Small
This small, sleek dinosaur has vicious, snapping jaws and feet that end in large talons for gutting prey.

A smaller cousin of the deinonychus, the velociraptor is a swift, cunning pack hunter. It has no fear of Medium or even Large creatures. Its leaping charge attack grants it a significant advantage against foes in thick underbrush.

A velociraptor is around 1-1/2 feet tall and 7 feet long, and weighs 35 pounds.
