Play as a humanoid dinosaur from over a dozen distinct lineages, each based on real prehistoric families with hundreds of species to inspire your character. These aren’t dragonborn reskins—they’re fully realized cultures with unique mechanical abilities that reflect their evolutionary heritage.

Become an Ankylosauria, armored defenders whose traditions run as deep as their territorial loyalty. Play a Ceratopsian forming tactical shield walls, their frills telling life stories through scars and notches. Choose Stegosauria, exiled engineers whose sensory plates diagnose machinery through vibrations. Join the Therarchos—apex predators like Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and other carnivores—competing in political dynasties where strength shapes society.

Master pack tactics as a cunning Dromaeosauridae raptor. Become a Hadrosauria diplomat whose resonating crest produces haunting calls. Play Therizinosauridae brewers who craft potent alchemies and honor their dead through bone shrines. Choose Pachycephalosauria intellectuals whose dome-skulled debates settle disputes through logic rather than violence.

Each lineage offers distinct cultural philosophies, combat abilities, and roleplaying opportunities. Two players choosing the same family can create vastly different characters—one might play a Kentrosaurus while another chooses a Stegosaurus, each bringing their own appearance and personality to the same mechanical framework. Hundreds of real dinosaur species await your choice.

Walking the razor’s edge between civilization and savagery, Beastkin form sacred bonds with prehistoric creatures through an ancient covenant with the animal kingdom. You’re simultaneously a devoted guardian and nature’s perfect killer—capable of tenderly nursing an injured creature, then unleashing primal fury against its predators.

Your Sacred Bond connects you with a beast companion that fights alongside you, growing in power as you level. Unlike other pet classes, your relationship transcends domination—it’s built on mutual trust, affection, and protection. Your companion gains your proficiency bonus, enhanced hit points, and can act independently to defend you when you’re incapacitated.

Half-caster spellcasting grants you magic focused on protection, healing, and enhancing your bond. At 3rd level, choose your archetype: Saurian Caretakers bond with a single prehistoric creature, evolving it into a legendary titan with customizable abilities. Pack Guardians maintain multiple companions that fight as a coordinated unit. Apex Protectors perfect synchronized hunting with their partner, eliminating threats with surgical precision.

Dinosaur Taming mechanics let you permanently bond with wild creatures through daily checks. Your Caring Empathy feature charms even the most aggressive beasts. At higher levels, take damage meant for your companions, communicate telepathically across distances, and eventually become a living symbol of the bond between civilization and wilderness.
