The following are two carnivorous Saurials to counter the four more well known one, and to balance the scale between carnivores and herbivores between the two. Yes, I stole the name from the Land Before Time, but it fit the naming conventions of the other saurial races.
Also, please keep in mind that all Saurials published in 3.5e have 2 RHD and a +4 natural armor bonus, so I kept that constant in these as well. PEACH away.

A massive humanoid tyrannosaur lumbers out of the jungle flinging spears. It roars loudly, and runs towards you.
The Sharpteeth are a race of Saurials descended from Tyrannosaurs. They are extremely violent and antisocial, barely tolerating others of their own kind. As a result, they have no true society, and are just lumbering brutes out to kill and feed.
Sharpteeth are not animals, however, and can be reasoned with (provided their hunger has been satiated). Unfortunately, Sharpteeth see other races as nothing better than food. To them, everything, intelligent or otherwise, is a prospective meal.
Sharpteeth worship Pestis, the Saurial God of Destruction. They give in to all base emotions, engorging themselves whenever they can. Sharpteeth occasionally gather in small bands to hunt down much larger prey, like Diplodocus.
Combat
Unlike other Saurials, Sharpteeth have weak arms, so they are not viable weapons. Instead, they rely on a vicious bite attack and their tails, and they are also known for their deadly spear attacks.
Cold Torpor (Ex): Saurials are warm-blooded creatures, but they retain heat poorly in cold environments. A saurial suffers a -5 penalty to Fortitude saving throws made to avoid subdual damage from cold environments and takes double the normal amount of subdual damage for failing those saving throws. In cooler climates, saurials bundle up to keep warm, for they can easily die from exposure in an environment that a human would find merely uncomfortable.
Protection from Sonic Attacks (Ex): A saurial's earholes are well protected, giving it a +4 circumstance bonus on saving throws against sonic effects and attacks.
Scent (Ex): Saurials have the scent special quality, as described in the Monster Manual.
Vulnerability to Gas Attacks (Ex): A saurial's metabolism and reliance on scent makes it vulnerable to attacks conveyed through gas, including stinking cloud, cloudkill, and poisonous gas. Saurials suffer a -4 penalty on saving throws against gas-based effects and attacks.
Tail Reach (Ex): Sharptooth saurials have 10-foot reach for attacks with their tails.

If it is downwind, the range is 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at three times these ranges. The creature detects another creatures presence but not its specific location. Noting the direction of the scent is a move action. If it moves within 5 feet of the scents source, the creature can pinpoint that source.

A large, reptilian creature stands atop a sand dune. Suddenly, three more appear from behind the dune to the side. All four large, partially feathered humanoids surround you.
Curvedclaws are a race of humanoid dromaeosaurids, specifically looking like a cross between a humanoid, deinonychus, and velociraptor. The Curvedclaws have lived in the deserts for hundreds of years now, but it is originally thought that they have come from jungles. Why this migration has occurred is unknown, but many believe that the early Curvedclaw civilization could not deal with the constant threats from dinosaurs and the neighboring Saurial race, the Sharpteeth.
Curvedclaws have adapted to their environment, being fast hunters and ambushers. Their home has little food or water, so groups wandering the desert seem to stay small enough to get rid of any unnecessary worries about a lack of food or water. Unfortunately, this view has also made them very cruel in disposition towards others, including other Curvedclaw tribes.
Curvedclaws are nomadic, and as a result can rarely be found in the same area for more than two weeks. They engage in bloody tribal wars with neighbors, and some of the more depraved practice cannibalism. In their minds, if you are not strong enough to defend your land, you are nothing better than livestock.
Combat
Curvedclaws prefer quick and bloody combat. They set up ambushes, and once the trap is set, they run in and rip enemies apart.
