Ceratops

D&D 2024 monster: Ceratops. Source: Plane Shift: Ixalan. challenge rating 5, creature type Beast, Huge size, speed 50 ft. Horned Herbivores Many smaller herbivores are found on the plains of Ixalan. Rather than depending on size for defense, these dinosaurs are protected by plated scales, sharp horns, or spiked tails. Most are aggressively proactive in chasing off predators even before they are attacked, and the people of the Sun Empire find these creatures among the hardest dinosaurs to control. Ceratopses sport enormous horns on and around the large, feathered frills that protect their necks. The related snubhorns lack the sharp pointed horns of their cousins. Despite their surly temper, ceratopses make excellent mounts. The triceratops in the Monster Manual can represent all of these dinosaurs. 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 50 ft.
