A ghosaurus is a sluggish, loathsome reptile. It has six awkward scaly legs, a low, dragging body, and a disproportionately muscular tail ending in a nest of toxic-looking ugly-purple spines. It is covered in stoney overlapping scales ranging from dark blue to ocean green. Its head is crowned with three curly horns, and it leers at the world with sulphur-yellow eyes set over a snaggle-toothed snout. Thick green fog drizzles in jets from its deep mucus-caked nostrils.

The ghosaurus is a slinking lizard monster that terrorizes countrysides with its plague. A ghosaurus favors a cool, shaded place with a water source as its lair. A ghosaurus can sometimes be kept at bay by offerings of livestock or fair-haired young men.

Ghosauri speak a slurred dialect of draconic or auran.

Combat: ghosauri are cautious, patient creatures that prefer to take a long-term approach by infecting and fleeing, or at least only fighting on their terms (foggy areas, watery terrain, etc.). Mated pairs however will fight to the death and become very territorial.

Contagious Breath(ex): as a quickened action a ghoaurus can release a 40ft line of reeking mist. Creatures within the mist must make a fortitude save dc:17(con-based) or contract crippling chills (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=352137). As a result of the symbiotic pnuematic protists that create this disease and a unique mucus secretion, a ghosaurus is immune to inhaled poisons and disease

Fogsight(ex): a ghosaurus can see unimpeded through fog, mist, and clouds of any kind, including a stinking cloud or obscuring mist.

Light Sensitivity(ex): a ghosaurus is dazzled (-1 penalty to attack rolls, my version is -1 penalty to attack rolls and AC and -1 to spot checks) in a radius of bright light (such as full sunlight or a daylight spell).

Fog Cloud(sp): usable twice per day, as per the spell of the same name.
