looking for flying dinosaurs

[kulosle]

I need a flying dinosaur that is large or medium size. Because we are doing a little people campaign. So my mount can't be too big, but i want one that flies. And our group is kinda dinosaur themed so i'd like to continue that. I looked through all the monster manuals and a few others but i haven't found one yet. If you know of one please let me know. Or a cheap way to let a dino fly.

pterodactyl Just reedited to add this. It's a large fluff... but not broken in my opinion.

Just using a dragon as a base removing its breath weapon.

Technically there is no such thing as a flying dinosaur. Pteranodons and pterosaurs were ancient flying reptiles.

That aside the answer you seek is found in the Eberron Campaign Setting. It is the glidewing, which is essentially a pteranodon.

It is large and the corresponding fluff is that the Talenta halflings use them as flying mounts.

oh awesome thank you!

Technically, all modern birds are dinosaurs and so there are flying dinosaurs.

MM2 has Quetzalcoatlus, a 10-HD Huge-sized flying beastie with one hell of a bite attack (plus Swallow Whole!).

[eggynack]

Cave dinosaurs from the miniature's handbook have the capacity to be mutated, and one of the possible mutations is wings for a 50 ft. (poor) flight speed.

Edit: Missed a whole clause on that one.

Technically all modern birds are descended from dinosaurs and are their own distinct order of animals.

[hamishspence]

"Distinct orders" are more a function of the human tendency to classify things. It's impossible to create a monophyletic group that includes all traditional "dinosaurs" but excludes birds.

The usual process, when it comes to cladistic classification, is to take two creatures - and specify a group name for "Them, their most recent common ancestor, and all its descendants".

For Dinosauria - it might be "Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, their most recent common ancestor - and all its descendants"

There's a Pteranadon in Serpent Kingdoms, large-sized and 3 HD.

So, maybe your DM will allow a fiat for a fly/permanency combo on any dino you want? At worst, you could get a flying carpet and get a friendly dino to ride it.

regardless, you must cast Flamebrand at some point on your dino (or some equivalent if you're not playing PF). You simply must have a dinosaur with a laser beam a la Dino-riders! LOL

Where is this from?

Miniatures handbook. Part of the Yuan-ti breeding program. Its one of the possible side-affects, in a table.

Winged Template Dinosaur.

I think it would be amusing to put it on a Winged Ankylosaur.

Winged T-Rex. Go big or go home.

I vaguely recall that stat block being essentially the same as the Glidewing one from Eberron Campaign Setting.

Heh, just the idea of a winged ankylosaur ammused me.

As for Trex, I raise you Spinosaurus.

That too would look ridiculous.

Tarrasque. Because why not?

Winged template makes it a magical beast unfortunately. And I can only rebuke animals.

THANK YOU!!!!!
This helped my group immensely. We're working on a cave dinosaur template. So that we can just use this for everyone. Cause lots of people were having a hard time finding good dinos.

[lytokk]

Sorry for the delayed response, been on vacation. Anyway, when you get the cave dino template done, I'd like to see it. There's just a lack of good lower hit die dinos.
