Cretaceous herbivore that seems to have lived in very large herds.

Ceratopsians are quadrupedal beasts with horns and bony head armour. They fill the rhinoceros' ecological niche. Ceratopsians are bad-tempered and prone to charge, making them among the most dangerous of the dinosaur herbivorous species. They were extremely common during the late cretaceous period. The best known and most common of these creatures, triceratops, was probably about twice as heavy as an elephant. Ceratopsians have two AC scores: one for their armoured heads, the other for their bodies.

Special Abilities

Knockdown and Stomp — If a ceratopsian exceeds its required 'to hit' roll by 4 or more, it has knocked down its target and will stomp on it for the listed extra damage.
