Revived Fossil, Triceratops[]
Background
This creature was animated into an undead by a necromancer with a strange quirk for rare, exotic and ancient creatures (in his own twisted mind, they make for more interesting undead to animate). It has been tasked with the simple mission of eliminating intruders to its master's stronghold, and as of now, it has done its job flawlessly.
Combat
The revived triceratops, being mindless, has no thoughts for self-preservation or strategy, and simply charges its opponents, goring with its enormous horns. It will always fight to the end, trusting its impressive natural defences and damage reduction to see him through the battle
Appearence
Even as nothing more than an enormous jumble of fossilized, stone-hard bones, this creature makes for a terrifying sight. If its size was not impressive enough, the blackened, polished horns on its forehead, each of them longer than an adult human's arm, look like they could plow through any armor with ease, and its elongated skull, with hollow eyes, a sharp beak and a large shielding around its neck, not to mention the sheer size of its ribs, legs and tail, would be enough to warn even the most seasoned adventurer of its dangerous nature
