Megafauna, Megalania

CR 7.00 Animal N Huge

This gigantic lizard has short but powerful limbs, a muscular tail, and a spiny crest that runs the length of its body.

Description

The immense megalania is often mistaken for a dragon or dinosaur. Certainly the lizard's aggressive attitude and deep, rumbling roars only encourage such misidentifications. Large enough to catch and eat rhinos and elephants, a megalania prefers hunting much smaller prey that it can gulp down in one greedy swallow. Humanoids are among its favorite meals.

A megalania is 20 feet long and weighs 2,000 pounds.
