Although only as tall as a halfling, it is extremely long. Out of its sides come small spikes, and towards the front juts out two pairs of foot-long spikes. Despite its fearsome appearance, it ignores you, just eating the plants growing close to the ground.'' Desmatosuchuses ("link-crocodile") are relatively harmless herbivores that live near rivers. They are generally passive, but do tend to be jumpy in the presence of carnivores. Desmatosuchus have developed a rather unique way to survive. It has no weapons it can use to its advantage like Stegosaurus, or near impenetrable armor like Triceratops, but its spikes guarantees that even when a carnivore kills it, the attacker will get some nasty scars in the process. As a result, most meat eaters ignore them, unless desperately hungry. ==Combat== Desmatosuchuses are noncombatants, and as such their tails are secondary weapons. Desmatosuchuses just have to hope their spikes dissuade attacking predators. '''Spiked Armor (Ex):''' Whenever a creature attacks a Desmatosuchus with a touch attack or natural weapon, the creature suffers 2d6 points of piercing damage.
