>>.So are there any (Triceratops) currently living in Glorantha,and if
so,where are they, and where are their stats? If someone with access to these
OOP sources could fill me in,I'd be most appreciative.<<
The Borderlands boxed set gives their stats:
characteristics
STR 3D6+50
CON 3D6+30
SIZ 3D6+40
POW 3D6
DEX 2d6
Averages
STR 60-61
CON 40-41
SIZ 60-61
POW 10-11
DEX 7
Note that an average Size 60-61 is not produced by 3D6+40; you would need to
change it to 3D6+50. This is better than changing the average Size to 50-51
which would make a triceratops smaller than an elephant (average Siz 53).
OK, now the tedious stuff.

ES also indicates that Triceratops have a fixed INT of 3. Borderlands states
that there is a herd living in the Zola Fel river valley, but that due to lack
of a good food source they widely scattered and individual animals may be
encountered. Happy hunting!
