Prosauropods are saurischian dinosaurs
from the Triassic, and
resemble sauropods. They may be smaller
than a man or as large
as an elephant. A prosauropod has a long
neck topped with a
small head, a corpulent body, and a long
tail. The hind legs are
larger and stronger than the front legs,
and prosauropods are apt
to move bipedally when they are in a hurry.
There is a long claw
on the thumb of each forefoot. Prosauropods
are primarily herbivorous, though they snap up very small animals they
encounter.
They flee if attacked. Prosauropods vary
with size as shown below:
| MOVE: | 12" | 12" | 15" | 15" | 15" | 12" | 12" |
| HD: | 1/4 | 1/2 | 1 | 2 | 3-4 | 5-8 | 9-11 |
| DAMAGE: | 1/2 | 1/1 | 1-2/1-2 | 1-4/1-4 | 1-6/1-6 | 2-8/2-8 | 2-12/2-12 |
| SIZE: | S(to 5) | M(6-7) | M(8-9) | M(10-12) | L(13-15) | L(16-25) | L(26-40) |
A prosauropod may swing its tail at attackers
who approach
from the rear or the rear flank. The damage
from a sweep of the
tail is equal to that at from a
single kick.
