Argentinosaurus drawn by Frederik Spindler.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Argentinosaurus (meaning "Argentina lizard") was a herbivorous sauropod dinosaur genus that was quite possibly the largest, heaviest land animal that ever lived. It developed on the island continent of South America during the middle of the Cretaceous Period (around 100 million years ago), after all of its more familiar Laurasian Jurassic kin — like Apatosaurus — had long disappeared.

Combat
Thunderous Snap (Ex): Although an argentinosaurus is ponderous, its whip-like tail can move faster than sound. Any creature struck by an argentinosaurus' tail slam must make a Fortitude save (DC 36) or be stunned for 1d4 rounds and deafened for 1d4 minutes. On a successful save, the creature is merely deafened for 1d4 minutes. The save DC is Constitution based.
Trample (Ex): An argentinosaurus can literally run over any creatures in its way that are of Gargantuan or smaller size. Creatures trampled must make a Reflex save (DC 43 half) or take 8d8+25 damage. The save DC is Strength-based.
