Immovable behemoths, towerin’ giants, and fearsome predators o’ every ilk. All ancient creatures - lost to time and knowledge. But alas, some ‘ave found their way back to us through foul magics or lost lands. You should heed me well to be prepared for the battles ahead. Them beasties is like no other. Nothing alive today compares to those monsters of the Mesozoic..."
Join Dr Dhrolin, a dwarven palaeontologist, as he recalls the creatures he has faced on his many adventures. His journal contains descriptions and stat blocks for numerous dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and other Mesozoic reptiles, along with new palaeo-themed playable races, environments, and supporting content.
Dr Dhrolin’s Dictionary of Dinosaurs allows you to add scientifically accurate prehistoric creatures, plants, and environments to your Dungeons & Dragons 5e roleplaying games.
Designed by palaeontologists, these reconstructions are based on real science and designed to be engaging incounters - not boring meat blocks. They are accompanied by beautiful illustrations from world-famous palaeo-artist Dr Mark Witton.
