Labyrinthodonts are amphibians, and flourish in Triassic settings. They resemble crocodilians in overall form, but the typical
labyrinthodont has a flattened head with upward-staring eyes, a
flat broad body, and feeble legs. The mouth is huge, and full of
sharp teeth. The hatchlings and very young individuals have feathery external gills, like a modern salamander larva. Labyrinthodonts include the largest amphibians ever to exist; fortunately,
they never stay far from water. A labyrinthodont typically lies
below the water's surface, hoping to surprise whatever edible
morsel may pass by. Individuals with 7 HD or more can swallow
man-sized prey whole. Labyrinthodonts vary with size as follows:
