SPECIAL ABILITIES

Sprint (Ex)

Once per hour, a therizinosaurus can move at 10 times its normal speed (400 feet) when it makes a charge.

Sweeping Strike (Ex)

As a full-round action, a therizinosaurus can hunker down and make a great, sweeping attack with its claws against up to four adjacent foes. The dinosaur makes an attack roll against each target, inflicting claw damage on a successful hit.

Vicious Claws (Ex)

A therizinosaurus's claws threaten a critical hit on an 18–20.
