Traits

Venomous Cocktail. Every single time the Ceratosaurus lands a successful bite or tail sweep attack, the target gets injected with a cocktail of venom. A creature subjected to this venom must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Blood Lust Rage. Once every 5 turns, the Ceratosaurus enters a crazied state as the sight of blood fuels its lust to taste it. While this is active, all rolls made by the Ceratosaurus gains +5 and its movement is doubled and it can not be knocked prone or unconscious. This effect only lasts for 2 turns.

Actions

Multiattack. The ceratosaurus makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its headbutt.

Bite. Melee Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage.

Tail Sweep. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., up to three targets. Hit: 18 (2d12 + 5) bludgeoning damage. If up to three targets are within reach of the ceratosaurus, it can attempt to attack all targets using a single attack roll against each target's AC. The first target hit receives the full damage 16 (2d10 + 5), then the damage is lessened by 2 (1d4) for the next target, then 5 (2d4) for the last target.

Headbutt. Melee Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage plus 3 (1d6) piercing damage.

Description

If you are travelling through thick woods or vast canyons and find yourself feeling as if you're being watched, chances are you are being stalked by the Ceratosaurus. 

One of the fastest dinosaurs in these lands, the Ceratosaurus is a formidable predator to face against by yourself or in small groups. Usually found in small packs of up to 3 individuals of similar age, these beasts will stalk their prey for long periods of time before burting out of hiding at immense speeds, ramming their serrated nasal crests into their target and causing serve damage. These predators have a unique way of hunting, with a cocktail of venom, they inject their prey and feed off the blood that comes flowing out of the open wounds - even the Ceratosaurs spikes contain this venomous cocktail.

These creatures have built a highly praised reputation amongst bandits and nomads, utilising their speed to travel long distances in a short amount of time. Not only this, but the Ceratosaurus is useful in knocking down small buildings and reinforced fences, allowing these thieving people to raid villages even easier.
