This hippopotamus-sized beast is covered with short, grizzled fur. Its thick legs end in massive digging claws, and two large tusks project horizontally from its lower jaw. It shakes its head threateningly and prepares to charge.
A diprotodon is a giant relative of the wombat, an herbivorous, powerfully built marsupial. Diprotodons are built to graze dry grasses and other tough desert vegetation. Their powerful teeth grind the fibrous plant matter to a fine pulp, and their digestive systems slowly process the food, extracting every drop of water and scrap of nourishment. Their powerful legs and claws are built for digging, and a diprotodons habitat is easy to identify from the large entrances to its nesting burrow.
Combat
Although mild mannered in general, a diprotodon is intensely territorial and does not hesitate to stamp an intruder into the ground. A diprotodon can move as quickly as a camel, despite its lumbering appear-ance, and when it charges, it often catches opponents off guard.
Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 22. The save DC is Strength-based.
