Dimetrodon

Not technically a dinosaur, the dimetrodon is much more closely related to mammals than reptiles. The dimetrodon spends much of its time sunning on rocks near sources of water. When it grows hungry, it can move with shocking speed for short periods of time. A dimetrodon's bark is both loud and distinctive, sounding like a truncated cross between an alligator's roar and a lion's growl.

Dimetrodona are usually about 7 feet long, and can weigh up to 450 pounds. Although it often remains motionless for long periods of time, a dimetrodon is highly territorial and reacts to intrusions with sudden and terrifying speed.

A few times per hour, a dimetrodon can increase its land speed for several seconds as a free action. During this time, it can effectively dodge opponents.
