description: 'The spinosaurus is more than just one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs—it''s
  also one of the most unusual in appearance, with a large, sail-like fin running
  along its spine. Often quite colorful, this sail allows the spinosaurus to attract
  mates, aids in swimming, and makes it appear to be even larger than it actually
  is. A swimming spinosaurus can also use the sail as part of a unique means of staggering
  prey by slapping the water with it to make a crushing wave.




  The spinosaurus is equally at home in water as it is on land, and its long, toothy
  maw is well-adapted to catching swimming prey. Attempts by giants to capture spinosauruses
  to serve as guardians typically go poorly, for these headstrong dinosaurs do not
  domesticate well. Their surly attitudes and striking appearances make them better
  suited for bloodsports, and they are popular prizes for those who run arenas specializing
  in battles that pit gladiators against hungry animals or beasts. Of course, an angry
  dinosaur forced to fight for the amusement of others won''t discriminate between
  potential meals on the battleground and ones seated in the surrounding stands.




  The spinosaurus''s appearance and strength make it attractive to more than just
  giants and bloodsport organizers. Spellcasters who mutate and transform animals
  into magical guardians have long been intrigued by the spinosaurus''s potential.
  More so than any other dinosaurs, spinosauruses have been subjected to fleshwarping
  procedures, crossbreeding with monsters, and other magical techniques to enhance
  the creatures'' viability as effective guardians.




  A spinosaurus can measure up to 60 feet in length and weighs 25,000 pounds.
