"The good news is it's not a Tarrasque. The bad news is it still looks pretty darn mean..."

Dire Ankylosaurs are pretty rare, and the occasion when two individuals of the opposite sex meet to mate are even rarer. So the good thing is the world isn't exactly overrun with them. On the other side they're just too darn stubborn to die.

Thick Armor (Ex): Dire Ankylosaurs are immune to criticals and may not be flanked. They also gain maximum hit points per hit die.

Trample (Ex): 8d6+17 (DC 51).

Spiny Shell (Ex): The armored shell of the Dire Ankylosaur is covered in bony spikes, and opponents of Gargantuan Size Class or bigger that attack them with an unarmed strike or a natural weapon take 1d6 plus their own Strength Modifier in damage.

Tail Slap (Ex): Any living creature that is not immune to criticals struck by the Dire Ankylosaurs tail must make a DC 51 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Strength based) or be Stunned for 1d3 rounds.

Combat: Ankylosaurs immediately wade in with the tail if surprised, otherwise they wait for an opponent to charge and lash out.
