SAVES:

Another of the ornithischians,
the stegosaurus,
or ”plated lizard,”
is a large,
very stupid herbivorous dinosaur with aggressive defenses.
It thrives nearly anywhere and is often found in Jurassic-like plains || jungles.
Its great plates allow the creature to defend 90% of the time at AC 2.
Its spiked tail,
with four or more boney spikes of one to over two feet in length,
has its own brain;
and the stegosaurus turns its rear continually towards an enemy,
while tucking its head low.
If anything near it seems threatening,
it will react in this manner.
