Although it is one of the smallest dinosaurs, the troodon is among the more intelligent. Being far less powerful than its larger cousins, it has adapted for survival through its quick speed and alertness. An adult is about 3 feet tall, almost twice as long, and typically weighs about 90 pounds.

COMBAT

Troodons use their speed to their advantage, employing hit-and-run attacks and pack tactics as much as possible. However, being relatively intelligent, they quickly realize when they are outclassed and are swift to flee.

Skills: A troodon gains a +2 racial bonus to Spot checks.
