Coelurus is a small, light and extremely swift dinosaur that eats small lizards. It weighs only 40 ibs and most of its bones are hollow. Being the small predator it is, it often runs when threatened for it knows that its mouth and claws inflist little real damage to larger creatures.

Combat
If forced to fight, a Coelurus will bite and claw ferociously until the end, or an escape is opened, whichever comes first.
Improved
Grab (Ex) The teeth of a Coelurus grip tightly to its prey, and those taht
are bitten have trouble breaking free. If it hits an opponent with a bite attack,
a Coelurus may initiate a grapple as a free action, dealing bite damage every
round the grapple is continued.
