In *Dungeons & Dragons*, a Deinonychus is a dinosaur-like creature often classified as a medium beast. Inspired by the real-world dromaeosaurid dinosaurs, Deinonychus in the game is depicted as a swift, agile predator with sharp claws and a powerful bite. It stands out due to its bird-like qualities, such as feathers, along with its terrifying claws, particularly the sickle-shaped talons on its hind legs, which it uses to devastating effect. These features make it a popular choice for druids and rangers, either as companions or wild shape options.

Mechanically, a Deinonychus has a strong set of stats tailored toward high mobility and multiple attacks. It typically possesses abilities such as Multiattack, allowing it to unleash a series of strikes in a single turn, making it effective against both groups of weaker foes and single tough enemies. Its speed and the ability to pounce on targets to knock them prone further emphasize its role as an agile striker in combat.

Within a campaign, Deinonychus often appears in jungle or prehistoric settings, where it can act as a fearsome predator or as part of a larger ecosystem of ancient creatures. Players might encounter one in the wild, face them as mounts of a dinosaur-riding faction, or even raise and train one if the setting allows it. Their appearance adds a dynamic, primal energy to the game, reflecting both the ferocity and mystery of ancient predators. For adventurers, a Deinonychus represents not only a challenge to overcome but also a potential ally, capable of providing both offense and utility in battle.
