This massive quadruped has a short box-like head atop a long neck, a stout but powerful tail and an elephantine hide.
The camarasaurs are one of the smaller and weaker types of sauropod.
Camarasaurs, while large (around 60 feet long and 20 tons), are dwarfed by most other sauropods, and they are small enough to be targeted by allosaur packs and other carnivorous dinosaurs. As such, they live and travel in large herds for protection. Their nearly horizontal backs and short necks allow them to browse short trees and saplings.
COMBAT
When attacked, camarasaurs are capable of using their powerful tails in defense, but are just as likely to run away.
The stamps of a camarasaurus are considered to be bludgeoning and slashing weapons for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.
Trample (Ex): A camarasaurus can literally run over any creatures in its way that are of Gargantuan or smaller size. Creatures trampled must make a Reflex save (DC 29 half) or take 6d6+15 damage. The save DC is Strength based.
