Tyrannosaurus rex (L. tyrant lizard) ranks among the largest of all land carnivores. Scholars have speculated from both observation and skeletal remains that it may have measured up to 42 feet long and weighed up to a massive 7 tons; and is generally regarded as an apex predator. However, despite its enormous size and massive bulk, tyrannosaurus appears to have been a fast runner. This notwithstanding, evidence suggests that tyrannosaurus would have willingly consumed carrion, relying on its incredible constitution to protect itself from harmful bacteria and diseases.
Measurements taken from deceased remains applied with liberal applications of gentle repose have yielded skull lengths of up to 6 feet and wickedly serrated teeth; the longest measuring up to 12 inches. Scholars theorise from studying the creature at length that it possesses unusually good binocular vision.
Scholars believe that tyrannosaurus has the single most powerful bite of any terrestrial creature, that its teeth alone could exert a crushing force of more than 3,000 pounds. This indicates that its bite is so staggeringly powerful that it can impact bone; as evidenced in indentations left on the skeletons of consumed prey.
Combat
Crushing Bite (Ex): Any time that a tyrannosaurus successfully wins a grapple check against an opponent, it may deliver it's staggeringly powerful bite on its victim. A tyrannosaurus deals triple bite damage on a critical hit and its bite is strong enough to ignore the hardness of objects. The crushing bite exerts such immense force that it resolves as a melee touch attack.
Frightful Roar (Ex): A tyrannosaurus is capable of unleashing a thunderous roar every 1d4 rounds up to a radius of 60 feet, its very sound unsettling foes. Opponents with fewer HD than it and who fail a Will DC 24 check may become frightened for 4d6 rounds.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a tyrannosaurus must hit an opponent of up to one size smaller with its bite attack. It can then start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it grapples its foe, it can attempt to swallow the creature the next round.
Swallow Whole (Ex): A tyrannosaurus can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of up to two sizes smaller by making a successful grapple check. The swallowed creature takes 2d8+8 points of bludgeoning damage and 8 points of acid damage per round from the tyrannosaurus' gizzard. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal 25 points of damage to the gizzard (AC 14). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
A Gargantuan tyrannosaurus' gizzard can hold 2 Large, 8 Medium, 32 Small, or 128 Tiny or 512 Diminutive or smaller opponents.
Skills
A tyrannosaurus has a +8 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

Deinonychus (L. terrible claw) is a deceptively agile predator. Belying its great size - scholars contend that deinonychus grew to a length of at least 10 feet or more - increasing evidence from field observation suggests that deinonychus was capable of ambushing prey with a remarkable lightness of tread and frightening speed; and willingly accelerating to chase down prey in the event of any failed ambuscade.
Considered by sages to possess a greater intelligence than most dinosaurs, deinonychus appears to greatly favor stalking runs and stealthy ambushes.
One of the most terrifying examples was the ordeal suffered by a druid loremaster who sought to study these creatures in their native environment.
This venerable sage was shadowed for an age to determine any weakness before being subjected to an ambush. He asserts that the attack came not from the front but from the side, two simultaneous powerful charges from opposite directions onto the one target. He firmly believes that the spearhead, the only visible dinosaur was a decoy, a lure to distract and to deceive.
It is precisely this tactic that scholars accept as the greatest evidence of deinonychus working in packs, going so far to suggest that like wolves, deinonychus depended on and was rewarded by functioning as a group. Combining its intelligence and capability of teamwork, this would made deinonychus a frighteningly dangerous predator.
Combat
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a deinonychus must hit an opponent with its bite attack. It can then start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it grapples its foe, it can attempt to rake the creature the following round. Unlike other instances of improved grab, a deinonychus may use this ability against foes of up to two sizes larger.
Pounce (Ex): If a deinonychus charges, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.
Rake (Ex): A deinoncycus that pounces onto a creature can make two rake attacks with its strong, wickedly curved sickle claws. Attack bonus +8 melee, damage 2d6+3.
Skills
A deinonychus has a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Jump, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival checks.

Triceratops (L. three-horned face) bears the distinction of being one of the most recognisable dinosaurs in existence. In depictions of art throughout much of the world, triceratops is always popularly portrayed as being locked in ferocious combat with a tyrannosaurus. A minority of scholars have moved to question these perceptions, arguing that such illustrations would be considered anachronistic, citing their own testimony of having failed to view the two ever interacting let alone fighting to the death. That the neck frills and horns served ceremonial display and courtship ritual purposes.
Other loremasters dismiss these claims as indications of failed studies, claiming knowledge for the sake of presenting knowledge. They point to numerous treatises and grimoires that explicitly detail battles between these two titans, that tyrannosaurus would have dined on if not exclusively preyed on triceratops, that triceratops bears armarments designed specifically to deny large carnivores as tyrannosaurus, as well as the shared environments in which they inhabit.
Sages have evaluated the ponderously looking dinosaurs of measuring up to 30 feet in length, 10 feet in height and weighing up to an incredible 12 tons. Remarkably, its skull is among the largest of all land animals, growing to well over 7 feet in length and appears to be a fused mass of solid bone. Triceratops bore three horns, one of its snout and a pair of wickedly sharp horns, each measuring 3 feet long above each eye.
Combat
Powerful Charge (Ex): When a triceratops charges, its gore attack deals 5d8+21 points of damage.
Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 29. The save DC is Strength-based.

nice work here. not satisfied with the regular dino's in the MM, huh?
One thing I would be careful of:
Crushing Bite (Ex): Any time that a tyrannosaurus successfully wins a grapple check against an opponent, it may deliver it's staggeringly powerful bite on its victim. A tyrannosaurus deals triple bite damage on a critical hit and its bite is strong enough to ignore the hardness of objects. The crushing bite exerts such immense force that it resolves as a melee touch attack.
Melee touch @ +24, with that much damage, snatch, and swallow whole? Seems a little strong for a CR 10 monster, but I could be off base. Personally, triple crit (possibly with 19-20) on a regular melee bite that ignores hardness less than 20 seems more along the lines of "real" T-rex.

Do you take requests? If so, I want stats for this guy.
That's just a bloodscale kobold with Enlarge Person cast on him. Red kobolds can jump! ;)
