This creature is simply a larger version of the deinonychus, with the same habits and abilities.

A megaraptor uses a terrible combination of speed, grasping forearms, large teeth, and hind legs with ripping talons. It hunts by running at prey, leaping, and raking with its rear talons as it claws and bites. The rakes count as one attack. A megaraptor often jumps on top of a larger creature and holds on with its front claws while continuing to rake with the rear talons. When charging, a megaraptor uses only its rake attack, dealing 2d8+7 points of damage.

Skills: A megaraptor receives a +8 racial bonus to Hide, Jump, Listen, Spot, and Survival checks.
