A rare breed of pteranodons bred by the storm giants of old, originally as pets, later as mounts, and finally as siege beasts, by imbuing their flesh with the power of elemental air. Set loose upon the world during the giants' troubles, most existing ptyrantodons in the world tend to stick around coastal areas near other dinosaurs to feed on fish and sea mammals, even whales when they surface, though they will never pass up a free land-based meal if they are feeling hungry. This makes them a massive menace to any coastal communities they encounter. Such a village's only defense is to feed the ptyrantodon with hauls and stores of fish until it gets bored and flies off, else it will start eating the humanoids. Only the most experienced of adventurers should ever try forcing a ptyrantodon to leave with force, else they are likely volunteering for its diet as few are prepared for the triple threat of might, magic, and mucus. |
