Decide on the HD, give some description to the beast (You have a pic, but a description of it's behavior, diet, et cetera would be nice), maybe descibe what the "Ill-tempered" ability does.

I can't comment on what you have so far, because you don't have that much.

Huh. Something tells me that a creature that goes around eating rocks and rubble would more likely be a magical beast than an animal.

I think from the picture, at least, it should have a slam, and maybe a tail slap. Isn't trample a special attack?

Lemme take a crack at this. It doesn't look like a carnivore, more like a herbivoric dinosaur. That would live near volcanoes
