Pack Tactics. The compstegnathus has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the compstegnathus’s allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.

Pounce. If the compstegnathus 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 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the compstegnathus can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.

Description

Created by biomancers by combining compsognathus, stegosaurus, and tree frogs to be the ultimate "first strike" scout, the Compstegnathus combines speed and aggression with a piranha-like appetite. Traveling in packs, these mutant dinos overwhelm larger targets and devour them within seconds. For smaller prey, their tongues are their most valuable hunting tool. Inherited from Tree Frogs, their tongues lash out and wrap around unfortunate prey, dragging them into range of razor teeth and sharp tail spikes. Large armored plates offer a line of defense against enemies. Individually, the Compstegnathus is cautious, but turns vicious in a group of its own kind.
