Aegisaur

D&D 2024 monster: Aegisaur. Source: Plane Shift: Ixalan. challenge rating 3, creature type Beast, Huge size, speed 30 ft. Scales, Spikes, and Hammers For dinosaurs without the prominent horns of the ceratopses, armored plating and deadly tails are an effective defense against predators. An aegisaur's back is covered with thick, armored scales that resemble a turtle's shell, while its tail is tipped with a massive bony club that can smash an aggressor's skull. Use the ankylosaurus in the Monster Manual for these creatures. Dinosaurs Dinosaurs are the dominant form of animal life in Ixalan-the absolute rulers of the coastal lands held by the Sun Empire, and a force to be reckoned with in the interior jungles. A number of dinosaurs appear in the Monster Manual, with even more to be found in Volo's Guide to Monsters, making that a particularly worthwhile resource for an Ixalan campaign. (Many of the dinosaurs in Volo's Guide also appear in Tomb of Annihilation.) Beast Huge 30 ft.
