Pounce. If the allosaurus moves at least 30 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the allosaurus can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d6 + 6) slashing damage.
Description
An allosaurus of unusual size, over 30 feet in length and weighing a couple of tons or more. Like other allosaurs, they sometimes travel in pairs of mates or siblings. If there is only one greater allosaurus in a mated pair, it is often a female as these grow larger than males.
Carnivorous Mobs. A greater allosaurus may be accompanied by one or more normal allosaurus (see page 79 of the Monster Manual). These smaller dinosaurs may be its mate or offspring of the greater allosaurus, but can be unrelated individuals that hang around them. Such groups do not hunt as a cooperative pack but will gang up injured animals like a school of sharks. Once they have made a kill, the most powerful allosaurus in the group feasts first, followed by the smaller and less powerful members. Vicious but short-lived squabbles often break out over this feeding hierarchy.
