A huge bipedal herbivorous dinosaur. It has a beaked mouth and a hollow crest atop is head.

Parasaurolophus are huge bipedal creatures found in savage temperate freshwater marshes and temperate broadleaf forests, appearing in herds of 3-5. They are benign herbivores that will nonetheless wipe out any dwarves not prepared for its wrath if provoked. While extinct in real life, their appearance is dependent on the settings chosen when creating a world. They are one of the few creatures who emit noises in adventurer mode (along with the capybara and kakapo), making toots and soft blowing sounds when relaxed and harsh whistles when alarmed. A young parasaurolophus is called a hatchling even though they lack the token to lay eggs. (Their real-life counterparts were prolific egg layers, so this might not be intentional.)

Parasaurolophus can be captured in cage traps and trained into exotic pets. They can be further trained into war beasts; their bulk, quick maturity rate, rapid growth, and lack of grazing token make them a fantastic alternative to rhinoceroses and elephants. These same reasons also make them a good choice for a meat industry. Parasaurolophus become adults after 1 year and reach their full size after 2.

Parasaurolophus may appear with caravans as pack animals or with sieges as exotic mounts.

Some dwarves like parasaurolophus for their crests.
