I'd suggest that it might be Awakened, but I doubt it...  Belkar's wild empathy wouldn't work on it, and it would have been able to talk when it was a dinosaur.

It might still have its original HP and HD if it passed the will save (unlikely) but that wouldn't boost its attack...  Yeah that's super weird actually, how the hell did a lizard overcome a vampire's damage resistance?  They do 1d4-4!  (So, 1)

...Basic T-Rex (which I assume this is based on, even though the wiki insists it's an allosaurus) has one level of Improved Natural Attack (Bite).  If it passed the will save it still has that, bringing its bite up to... 1d6-4.  Vampire spawn have DR 5/silver (full vampires have 10, but maybe this priest's just a spawn).  Bloodfeast could overcome the DR with two more levels of Improved Natural Attack, which is actually possible without class levels AFAIK.  I think animals still gain feats every three levels, they're just limited in what they can choose.  So instead of being an 18HD T-Rex, it'd be 24HD or thereabouts.

If it reached 37HD it would become gargantuan!  Wolves do this too... Normal 3HD ones are medium, but 4-6HD ones are large.  Kinda surprising since humans are medium, and these aren't even dire wolves.  Interestingly, dire wolves start at 7HD, kinda hinting that a 7HD wolf should become a dire wolf.

Now I want a D&D variant where humans and demi-humans become bigger as they gain levels...

I always thought that was how Dark Souls worked.

Oh, BTW, new one is up.

BELKAR'S ALIVE!

Also ow, fourth wall. It's been a while since the comic has breached the fourth wall, heh.

Also, is the guy with the warhammer supposed to be a golem? Pretty sure golems can't be vampirized.

Edit: According to the OOTS forum, its something called a goliath.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I'm pretty sure it's a Goliath.

[Strife26]

That's rather meh for a comic. It's nothing but self aware monologing and call backs

[Shadowlord]

I liked it. 

[fillipk]

I found it funny.

[Rolan7]

Like much of the giantitp forum, I was eager for answers...  And this update provided!
Yeah it was kinda meta, but that's part of OoTS's charm (particularly in moderation, and it's been a while).

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I'm just continuing my perpetual chafe under Rich's release rate. I can't exactly rightfully criticize it, but it torments me all the same. I remember that 9-days-9-pages streak, it was like paradise...

[TheBiggerFish]

Heh, yeah, OoTS has one of the slowest update schedules I know.

[Shadowlord]

For me at least, it's made easier by also reading a couple other webcomics, including Schlock Mercenary, which has kept to a flawless daily release schedule since it started in 2000. (The others I read are Darths and Droids, and Doctor McNinja, both of which will probably be ending sometime soon-ish.)

[TheBiggerFish]

I should finish catching up on Darths and Droids at some point...

[Strife26]

I might just be overly grumpy today, then.
