Its bite injects a venom that causes numbness and weakness, a trait that the animal uses to bring down larger prey, although it prefers to scavenge food or snatch up insects and other smaller creatures for its meals. The compsognathus is curious to a fault; most encounters that result in combat with these diminutive dinosaurs result not from the creatures'' hunger but from frightened defensive reactions when the dinosaurs'' inquisitive natures compel them to enter into situations (such as wagons or bedrolls) that inadvertently put them at odds with surprised adventurers. A compsognathus measures 3 feet long from its head to the tip of its tail and weighs 15 pounds. It is small enough to serve as a house pet or even as a familiar for a spellcaster. In cases where magical links aren''t involved, however, those encountering or keeping the creatures would be well-advised to treat them with the same caution one might extend to a pet viper or other poisonous reptile, as they are at best partly tame. **__Recall Knowledge - Animal__ (__Nature__)**: DC 13' hp: 8 hp_misc: null level: -1 melee_attacks: - action_cost: One Action damage: - formula: 1d6 type: piercing - formula: null type: compsognathus venom name: jaws to_hit: 7 traits: - agile - finesse name: Compsognathus perception: 5 ranged_attacks: null saves: fort: 4 fort_misc: null misc: null ref: 7 ref_misc: null will: 4 will_misc: null senses: - low-light vision - scent (imprecise) 30 feet size: Tiny skills: - bonus: 6 misc: null name: Acrobatics - bonus: 6 misc: null name: Stealth sources: - abbr: Bestiary 2 page_start: '80' page_stop: null speed: - amount: 30 misc: null type: Land - amount: 15 misc: null type: swim spell_lists: null traits: - Animal - Dinosaur
