Compsognathus
Creature -1 — animal, dinosaur
FlankerSnareLANDAQUATICanimaldinosaur
The compsognathus is a small bipedal dinosaur that moves in swift, darting motions. Its bite injects a venom that causes numbness and weakness, a trait the animal uses to bring down larger prey, although it prefers to scavenge or snatch insects and other smaller creatures for its meals. The compsognathus is curious to a fault, often getting itself into trouble. It measures 3 feet long from head to tail and weighs 15 pounds—small enough to serve as a house pet or familiar for a spellcaster. In c
