Monsters: Dinosaurs

Monsters: Dinosaurs

I have not converted any dinosaurs from the Monster Manual, because there's already statblocks for all of them in GURPS Lands out of Time. However, Monster Manual II has a new batch of dinosaurs that is not covered completely by the aforementioned supplement. Thus, here we have the cryptoclidus (based on the elasmosaurus and downsized), seismosaurus (based on the brontosaurus and upsized), and spinosaurus (based on the tyrannosaurus and upsized). And yes, I know that elasmosaurus is not a dinosaur.
