Carnivorous Stegosaurus

At 1d6+19 feet long, the stegosaurus is a herbivorous animal which prefers to be left alone. It uses its sharp tail spikes to enforce this desire if pressed, but its dorsal plates are used primarily for display and to regulate heat, rather than for defense. The smaller carnivorous stegosaurus is only 1d6+10 feet long. As improbable as it seems, the carnivorous stegosaurus can fold down its dorsal plates, which are far longer than that of its vegetarian cousin, half to either side, and use this arrangement to glide for a short distance (no more than 1d3 rounds).
