Ecology: Carvers are massive nocturnal predators who prowl the jungle floor and lower tree branches. They will eagerly take anything they come across, and will even prey on young Diablosaurus, dragging their kills to secluded spots to be consumed over the course of several days. As they mate for life, Carvers normally hunt in pairs, and if one is encountered, another will be close by.
Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations.
Powers/Tactics: Possessing powerful jaws, great strength, and above average agility, Carvers are some of the most dangerous predators on Skull Island. Perfectly suited for the lightness depths of the deep jungle, Carvers have sharp eyes, and an even more acute sense of hearing and smell. In addition, they can sense heat through an organ in the snout and often use this to find prey hidden in thick growth. Since their jaws can crack bones with a single bite, anything they do find has almost no chance of escaping.
Appearance: A Carver is a long-tailed, short-necked dinosaur with massive shoulders. Measuring between 25-33 feet in length, they have bonze-scaled hides with a series of soft dorsal fins or blades along the spine.
Designer's Notes: The Carver was developed based on the Giant Lizard character sheet from the HERO System Bestiary. It didn't appear in King Kong, but much like Tartarusaurus, would make an excellent proto-dragon or could be used as a mount for a Lizardmen-like race.
