I hope you enjoy the amorphosaurus rex, and I'll be back next time with a new monster. Thanks for reading!
This smallish,
green-skinned tyrannosaurus extrudes a pair of tentacles from its back.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Adaptive Resistance
(Su) When an amorphosaurus rex takes energy damage greater than its current
resistance, the value increases by 5 for subsequent energy damage (for example,
if a spell deals 7 points of fire damage, it takes 2 points of damage, and then
its resist fire increases to 10). This increased resistance lasts for an hour
after it takes damage.
Related to chaos beasts and gibbering mouthers, proto-amorphosaurus
rexes had a similarly unstable form. Unlike those creatures, the amorphosaurus
rexes instinctively locked in on the alpha predator at the time and their outward
appearance permanently changed. However, they retained rudimentary shapeshifting
abilities, allowing them to generate decidedly non-dinosaur features, with
octopus tentacles as their weapons of choice. Their internal organs constantly
shift, making it impossible to harm them by damaging an internal organ. Their
weird biology allows them to heal wounds rapidly as well. Finally, they have a
modicum of protection from elemental damage, and this protection increases as they
are exposed to it.
While the tyrannosaurus rex is the typical form taken by amorphosaurus
rexes, variants include sharks and bears. Regardless of the shape they “fix”
on, they always have an incongruous feature (tentacles, whip-like tails, fanged
mouths within mouths, etc.) that mark them out as unnatural.
