A great carver , or haka'rhavad'eth in Draconic , is a breed of dinosaur and considered a larger relative of the carver and clawfoot . [1] [2]
Description
Similar to carvers, great carvers are lean and bipedal creatures with long hind legs ending in deadly claws. Their tails are held out straight, being supported by an intricate skeletal structure, which allows the rear legs to carry their whole weight. Their hides are brightly colored, almost like tropical birds. They stand around 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall and are around 24 feet (7.3 meters) long. [1]
Tactics
Like their smaller counterparts, they use their powerful legs and great speed to hunt down their prey. They typically chase and pounce upon prey, before slashing with fore and hind claws and biting. [1]
Behavior
Great carvers are carnivorous and their sizeable brains mean they hunt with clever pack tactics. They may be encountered alone, in pairs, or in packs of up to six specimens. [1]
Lands
Great carvers and swordtooth titans dwell within the deserted city of Haka'torvhak in Q'barra , kept there as guardians by the half-fiend black dragon Rhashaak . [3]
Great carvers can also be found in the Shanjueed Jungle in Corvagura , Sarlona . [4]
They might also be encountered in Xen'drik . [5]
