The Velociraptor is the smallest creature that can be selected for play in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivore]] and must eat [[Carcass|meat]] in order to survive. Though it does not have the [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]] trait, some players have been able to sustain themselves eating [[Fish|fish]] as the Velociraptor due to its relatively high [[Swimming|swimming]] speed.

It has a very low [[Size|weight]], and grants very little food to large predators. It also, however, consumes very little of a carcass when eating, and works very well as a scavenger. It has a high metabolism and must eat regularly in order to survive.

The Velociraptor has the highest [[Stamina|stamina]] pool of any creature, possessing 150. This allows it to run and jump a significant amount before tiring. It is also highly adept at [[Jumping|jumping]], allowing it to climb and reach high ledges and rocks.

The Velociraptor's [[Primary Attack|primary attack]] is an ordinary [[Bite|bite]]. It deals light damage and must bite larger foes a significant amount of times in order to land a kill.

The Velociraptor's [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a [[Pouncing|pounce]], which is capable of latching onto large prey. A [[Packing System|pack]] of Velociraptor can down large opponents such as the [[Acrocanthosaurus]] quite efficiently.

Unique Abilities: The Velociraptor has several unique abilities. It is able to pounce nearly all of the creatures in the game. The Velociraptor is also the only creature in Beasts of Bermuda capable of grabbing onto ledges, cliffs, walls, and some trees. In order to successfully grab a ledge, a player must be beholding down the [[Use|use]] [[Keybinding|keybind]] while approaching a grabbable surface and while in the air. Finally, it is able to enter Oryctodromeus [[Digging Mechanic and Burrows|burrows]], even as an adult.

Other Facts: The Velociraptor was the first dinosaur to be added to Beasts of Bermuda. It is the main predator of [[Oryctodromeus]]. Being able to enter its burrows, there is almost no escape for these little herbivores. A pack of Velociraptors is a deadly force of nature, and even a skilled lone velociraptor can take out large quarry.

The Velociraptor has no [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] and must take shelter from [[Weather|storms]] in order to survive.

== What is Beasts of Bermuda? ==

Beasts of Bermuda is a multiplayer game hosting large servers in which the player becomes a dinosaur or other prehistoric creature. The player becomes part of a living, player-created ecosystem. The ultimate objective is to survive on one of the islands within Bermuda, an enigmatic island chain constantly threatened by fierce storms and haunted by ancient beasts. [[Food|Hunger]], [[Thirst|thirst]], [[Comfort|stress]], and predation constantly threaten your survival.

== What is the Objective of Beasts of Bermuda? ==

Currently our game only has three gamemodes.

* Sandbox - In this mode, the player can select any creature to play as without cost or punishment for death. In this mode, the objective is what you make of it. There are many different objectives players frequently take on, be it achieving a high score, taking down others in combat, exploring the map, or herding up and socializing. This mode offers a relaxed atmosphere in which the player can do as they wish. We've been discussing additional game modes due to interest and feedback among our community, and we have a few ideas we would like to implement.

* Life-cycle - Gamemode in which the player starts as a juvenile of any species they wish and continues to grow, becoming more powerful over time in a multiplayer environment. Gradual [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontogeny ontogeny] is also a feature under this category that adds to the realism aspect of growing from a juvenile to an adult; eventually, accompanying model changes differentiating younger members of different species from their older counterparts. This mode is coupled with a [[Talent tree|talent]] or skillpoint-based system, in which the player becomes more powerful in ways they can choose.

* Combat-based system - A player must successfully hunt and kill other players in order to gain points. Here, risk vs reward will very much be a factor as the larger the foe you down, the more reward you will gain.

Regardless of the selected mode of play, many different challenges are always present on the islands of Bermuda that threaten survival. One must find [[Food|food]] in order to survive. Different animals the player can choose from have different means of obtaining food. Some are [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivores]], needing to hunt and eat other players to survive. Other creatures are [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivores]], and thus have a more peaceful means of eating. [[Piscivorous Creatures|Piscivores]] are a mix, being capable of eating other players, or eating [[Fish|fish]] for survival.

[[Thirst]] is another element of survival in Beasts of Bermuda. A need as simple as visiting [[Freshwater Lakes|lakes]] can become very difficult under certain conditions. Lakes can be drunk dry. Due to depleting water sources and competition, the hunt for water may not be easy during certain times. While not currently in-game, droughts are planned.

[[Weather|Storms]] are a major threat to survival. These events are much more than just graphics, as rain, wind, lightning, and surging seas can turn an island paradise into chaos.

== Where is Beasts of Bermuda in its development? ==

Beasts of Bermuda began development on January 16th, 2017. Currently, the game offers a fully functional game world with many combat mechanics and map-based survival elements already in place. Make no mistake, our game is still pre-release and is still very much under development. Future development will likely focus on expanding our playable creature roster, improving the quality of our graphics, models, and general assets, and then implementing additional game modes beyond Free Roam.

As of October 4th, 2018, Beasts of Bermuda is still in a very early pre-release testing phase but has recently announced on their [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ steam page] that they hope to release the game in an early access state between late 2018 or early 2019. Also within their steam page, is their patch notes where you can read in detail what new mechanics have been implemented. The best way, however, to keep up with development is to join their discord here: https://discord.gg/KZKzGTT where you can ask the Devs in the appropriate channels about the current build of the game.

== What creatures are planned to be playable? ==

Currently, one can play as the following creatures in Beasts of Bermuda:

* [[Acrocanthosaurus]]
* [[Apatosaurus]]
* [[Elasmosaurus]]
* [[Ichthyovenator]]
* [[Kronosaurus]]
* [[Lurdusaurus]]
* [[Megalosaurus]]
* [[Mosasaurus]]
* [[Oryctodromeus]]
* [[Pachycephalosaurus]]
* [[Parasaurolophus]]
* [[Pteranodon]]
* [[Saichania]]
* [[Tyrannosaurus rex]]
* [[Utahraptor]]
* [[Velociraptor]]

It is likely the following creatures will be playable due to our interest in expanding the niches available to players in Beasts of Bermuda. Many of these animals are selected due to their unique niches or ability to utilize certain gameplay mechanics. Many are [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivores]], [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatics]], [[Flying Creatures|flying creatures]], or [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatic]] animals.

'''Carnivores:''' 
Carnotaurus 
(One of) Sarcosuchus, Deinosuchus, Purussaurus (SA) 
Nothosaurus (SA) 
Yangchuanosaurus 
Zupaysaurus 
Suchomimus(SA) 

'''Herbivores:''' 
Amargasaurus 
Edmontosaurus 
(One of) Polocanthus, Sauropelta, Edmontonia, Gastonia, Borealopelta, Antarctopelta 
Triceratops 
Stegosaurus 
Gallimimus/other ornithomimid 
(One of) Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus 

'''Aquatics:''' 
Contectopalatus or other ‘small’ Ichthyosaur 
Dunkleosteus 
Temnodontosaurus 
Shastasaurus/Shonisaurus 

'''Fliers:''' 
Tapejara 
(One of) Hatzegopteryx, Quetzalcoatlus 

Discussed creatures are animals that have been discussed to be added, but have not been confirmed and are less likely to be added. The developers hope to have at least two creatures of every type to the game. With the proper resources, some of these creatures may be added.

Where the words (one of) appear, only one creature of that group will be added.

The list of discussed creatures is as follows:

'''Carnivores:''' 
Alioramus 
Cryolophosaurus 
Gorgosaurus/Albertosaurus 
Masiakasaurus (Possible SA) 
Majungasaurus and/or Ceratosaurus 
Spinosaurus (SA) 
Yutyrannus 

'''Herbivores:''' 
(One of) Aralosaurus, Corythosaurus, Iguanodon, Ouranosaurus 
(One of) Centrosaurus, Einiosaurus, Monoclonius, Pachyrhinosaurus, Pentaceratops, Styracosaurus, Torosaurus 
(One of) Dacentrurus, Kentrosaurus, Lexovisaurus, Tuojiangosaurus 
Shunosaurus 

'''Aquatics:''' 
Cretoxyrhina/Edestus/Helicoprion 
Dolichorhynchops 
Hybodus 
Hyneria (Limited SA) 
Megalodon 

'''Fliers:''' 
Dimorphodon 
Ikrandraco

== What is unique about Beasts of Bermuda? ==

Beasts of Bermuda offers the experience of playing in unique niches as aquatic, flight-based, or terrestrial creatures. Piscivores offer a different lifestyle to traditional carnivores, the creatures of which are often very adept at [[Swimming|swimming]], even if also quite capable on land.

It also offers unique map elements. Whether you're exploring a cave while taking shelter from a [[Weather|storm]], watching the [[Tidal System|tide]] drop to safely cross to a new island, or migrating to avoid a [[Forest Fires|forest fire]] or depleted [[Freshwater Lakes|watering hole]], the map is always changing and the world is alive.

The playable creatures in Beasts of Bermuda all have unique [[Abilities|abilities]] that differentiate them from others. Some can [[Grabbing|grab]], others can [[Pouncing|pounce]] and latch. Some can sense a weak opponent or warn a herd of a lurking predator, and others can climb to escape danger. Every animal is different in Beasts of Bermuda, very much so, and a lot of effort has been put in to ensure every creature added fulfills a unique niche.

A unique resource in the form of [[Comfort|comfort]] offers a totally new way to design mechanics and shape gameplay. Carnivores in close proximity to herbivores will stress each other out, resulting in various gameplay disadvantages or even death should the stress become extreme. Carnivores are only comforted by their own kind, becoming stressed in the prolonged presence of different species. Map elements, in particular storms and massive storm surges, will also cause stress. Maintaining a low level of stress (we call it comfort) is a major aspect of survival in Beasts of Bermuda.

Beast of Bermuda also give players the ability to customize themselves, be it through [[Skin Customization|skins]] or the [[Talent tree|talent]] mechanic, it'll be hard to get two dinos exactly alike.

== Why does Beasts of Bermuda need Donations? ==

Beasts of Bermuda needs funds to commission and contract professionals for services related to modeling, animating, sound creation, skin design, level design, and just overall improvements. Up to this point, the game has been created by Predatoria and Vipe, two indie developers focused on the coding behind the game, with freelance contribution from several [[Contributors|contributors]]. Most of our current models are from asset stores and we want to replace them with professional models. To bring our game to the next level of quality, we need to network with professionals in all departments of game design rather than just indefinitely coding more mechanics into the game, which requires funding neither of us can afford to do.

== Will Beasts of Bermuda have singleplayer support, or will it strictly be a multiplayer game? ==

Beasts of Bermuda is being created as a multiplayer game. If a player wishes to do so, they can host a server and play alone, but multiplayer play is strongly encouraged.

== What platforms will Beasts of Bermuda be available on? ==

Currently, Beasts of Bermuda only has Windows support as adding support for other operating systems is low on our priority list. In the future, MAC and Linux support will be added as well. Steam will be our method of distribution. Beasts of Bermuda is a PC game and will not function on consoles.

== When will Beasts of Bermuda be released? ==

Beasts of Bermuda will most likely be released into EA (Early Access) in Late 2018 / Early 2019.

== Will there be Steam achievements? ==

Yes! I absolutely plan for achievements to be part of the game!

== How much will Beasts of Bermuda Cost? ==

Beasts of Bermuda will very likely cost $20.00 and will be purchased on Steam.

== How can I keep up with Beasts of Bermuda's development? ==

The best way to keep up with development is to join our Discord, as sometimes I get lazy and don't update the website regularly. Currently, most activity takes place here including links to our most recent test builds and patch notes.
Follow our progress here: https://discord.gg/PQ5fPNn

We're are also on steam now! Go check us out and if you are interested in the game don't forget to add it to your wishlist to be notified on EA release.

The Pteranodon is currently the only [[Flying Creatures|flying creature]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It possesses the ability to fly. Its flight mechanics were inspired by the Primal Carnage Pteranodon, given this game's Pteranodon is highly regarded among many experienced players as being well-suited for combat. It was designed this way deliberately, over a more realistic flight system.

Its attacks are currently very straightforward, possessing both a forwards-aimed and a downwards-aimed [[Bite|peck]] as its [[Primary Attack|primary]] and [[Secondary Attack|secondary]] attack. Unique to it, however, its attack damage is not constant. The faster the Pteranodon is flying, the more damage it will deal with its attacks. This is to reward more adept players who are capable of controlling the creature at faster flight speeds.

Unique Abilities: The Pteranodon is so far the only flier added to the game. This allows it to easily travel from island to island without having to worry about the treacherous water below.

Other Facts: The Pteranodon is an avid fisher. While it cannot swim, it is able to dive into the water at high speeds to reach fish just below the surface. In addition, Pteranodon can swoop down on larger carnivores, harassing them until they give up their food. The Pteranodon has therefore mastered land, air, and sea.

If the Pteranodon is struck during flight by a tree, rock, hillside, or by any terrestrial animal, it will be knocked out of the sky and into a [[Tripping|crash]]. As a Pteranodon, being bitten or grabbed out of the sky by an agitated predator will usually be your death. Fly carefully.

The Pteranodon is frail and will receive [[Injury|injury damage]] from any source. It also receives significant amounts of injury if it lands poorly or crashes. Injury damage will cause a poorer flight performance on the Pteranodon, as well as on other, future flyers. Accumulation of injury will both reduce the effectiveness of your [[Movement System|sprint]] as well as pull down your nose. A Pteranodon who suffers a particularly hard crash may not be able to fly again for several minutes. They offer very easy prey for smaller creatures such as the [[Velociraptor]] when injured in this way.

The Pteranodon is very susceptible to [[Weather|weather]] due to its very poor [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] stat. Due to this, it must take refuge from even mild storms or invest in talents that negate comfort damage taken from storms.

The Utahraptor is a very large member of Dromaeosauridae and is a playable creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a rather slow [[Carnivorous Creatures|predator]], being only a little faster than the [[Acrocanthosaurus]]. It has a rather low [[Health|health pool]] and [[Size|weight]], given it isn't very large in comparison to many other theropods such as [[Acrocanthosaurus]] and [[Megalosaurus]]. The creature, however, has a very significantly enlarged [[Ability|ability power]] pool, having been granted 150 rather than the typical 100. It also has an enlarged [[Stamina|stamina]] pool, 120 rather than the rather standard 100. It has a high metabolism and must eat frequently to thwart off starvation just as the [[Velociraptor|Velociraptor]] must.

The Utahraptor's [[Primary Attack|primary attack]] is an attack that uses its jaw and claws to slash and bite at its prey. It deals moderate damage to prey of any size and can use this attack quickly and in rapid succession many times before exhausting its large pool of ability power.

The Utahraptor has a [[Pouncing|pounce]] that behaves very differently than that of the [[Velociraptor|Velociraptor]] for its [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]]. This pounce is only capable of latching onto the [[Apatosaurus]], but serves a much more significant primary purpose. The Utahraptor can pounce while moving and does not need to coil to charge up its leap. It does so instantaneously. The angle of launch, however, is mostly fixed at 25 degrees, only moving to a modest 32 degrees if the player aims the camera upwards. The key role of the Utahraptor pounce is combat mobility, allowing it to leap into the fray or away from danger on a moment's notice. This differs starkly from the [[Velociraptor|Velociraptor's]] pounce, which is used primarily to leap onto unsuspecting prey. This pounce consumes moderate amounts of stamina, so spamming it is often a poor idea. While latched onto an Apatosaurus, the Utahraptor loses the power ability over time. Given its large ability power pool, it can stay latched to an Apatosaurus for a significant period of time. It is also capable of latching onto [[Beaching|beached]] [[Mosasaurus|Mosasaurs]].

Unique Abilities: The Utahraptor retains all the lethality of its smaller relatives in a much bigger package. Fast, agile and huge, a coordinated pack can bring down even the largest of creatures. Their powerful legs and huge, sickle-like claws can be used to cling on to the side of prey and inflict devastating wounds. Utahraptor, however, do not like getting their feathers wet and must take shelter during bad weather.

Other Facts: The Utahraptor has no [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]], and must take shelter from [[Weather|storms]] in order to survive.

The Utahraptor has a decently high [[Jumping|jump]], being able to climb up into areas most larger [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial creatures]] cannot reach.

Parasaurolophus is a medium sized [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivore]] and currently the only ornithopod in the game, soon to be joined by the small [[Oryctodromeus]] and later by the semi-aquatic [[Lurdusaurus]].

As a hadrosaur, the Parasaurolophus lacks the major offensive capabilities of the other herbivores currently in the game. While it could be just as dangerous as any other animals if given the chance, parasaurolophus' primary defense is to flee from large threats such as [[Acrocanthosaurus]] or [[Megalosaurus]], using superior speed and stamina to outlast them in a chase. Even if caught, a parasaurolophus can take a number of hits before going down, allowing it to fight back against its assailants or possibly escape before death by tiring them out.

Unique Ability: The Parasaurolophus is able to lock on to enemies, emitting a sophisticated [[alarm call]] as well as highlighting the enemy for all members of its group. The call varies depending on the severity of the threat, with a total of 3 tiers (Minor, Moderate, and Major threat).

Other Facts: Parasaurolophus falls prey to many species of carnivores, but a healthy adult is no pushover. Powerful legs and a considerable weight allow adults to severely injure and even kill smaller carnivores they can't outrun.

The Parasaurolophus has a characteristic crest which it uses to communicate with herd members.

The Parasaurolophus is able to graze while moving at the same time.

The Pachycephalosaurus is a playable creature in beasts of Bermuda. It is a [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivore]], requiring only to eat [[Foliage System|plants]] around the map to fill its [[Food|food]]. It is [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial]], and does not fare well in deep [[Ocean|saltwater]].

Its [[Primary Attack|primary attack]] is fairly standard. It is a small head ram, which inflicts moderate damage. It also applies [[Knockback|knockback]] when it hits with this attack, which is unique to the Pachycephalosaurus. The Pachycephalosaurus is a [[Bruisers|bruiser]], allowing it to inflict significantly more [[Injury|injury damage]] than others. It also can inflict injury damage regardless of [[Locational Damage|where it hits]]. This allows its primary attack to inflict injury damage of significant degree, especially to smaller creatures such as the [[Utahraptor]].

Its [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a charge, which must be initiated while the Pachycephalosaurus is [[Sprinting|sprinting]] at full speed. When the secondary attack key (defaults to Right Mouse Button) is held down, the Pachycephalosaurus will begin charging. When charging, it instantly gets a speed boost but has a very poor [[Movement System|turn radius]]. The longer it charges, the faster it goes. Charging rapidly drains [[Ability|ability power]], but consumes no additional [[Stamina|stamina]] beyond what would normally be consumed by sprinting. The faster the Pachycephalosaurus is going when it strikes its target, the more [[Damage|damage]], [[Injury|injury]], and [[Knockback|knockback]] it will apply. A particularly long and fast charge can almost put a [[Velociraptor]] into orbit! The Pachycephalosaurus will stop charging if it runs out of ability power or stamina.

Unique Ability: The Pachycephalosaurus gains momentum while charging, allowing it to knock back and injure competitors or would-be attackers

Other Facts: None

The Megalosaurus is a medium-sized, playable [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivore]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is very fast, currently being only slower than the [[Parasaurolophus]] while on land. It has a rather heavy-hitting bite that can rapidly do damage. Its [[Health|health]] and [[Size|size]] are medium. It is capable of running and chasing down most other creatures in the game, but must be wary as it has a reduced [[Stamina|stamina]] pool.

Both its [[Primary Attack|primary]] and [[Secondary Attack|secondary]] attacks are a standard, basic [[Bite|bite]]. One hits forwards, whereas the other strikes downwards.

Unique Abilities: The Megalosaurus is able to scan its opponents, seeing their stats and singling out the weakest individuals as its prey. When the Ability keybind is held down, a cursor will appear on the screen. When it is released, the creature in the center of the cursor will be identified, allowing the Megalosaurus to see the current stats of its prey. This will portray the current Health, Stamina, Ability Power, Food, [[Thirst|Water]], and [[Comfort]] of its target. This ability consumes [[Ability|ability power]], regardless of whether or not it hits anything.

Other Facts: Megalosaurus lived in a habitat dominated by island chains surrounded by shallow seas. The developers reflected this in the Megalosaurus's talent tree. While primarily a terrestrial hunter, the Megalosaurus can transform into a makeshift fisher with the right talents. This allows it to have access to fish during times of scarce food, while most other carnivores would starve. The Megalosaurus is essentially a jack-of-all-trades, able to adapt to situations with ease and always beat the next obstacle.

It is capable of [[Jumping|jumping]], but only a very short distance. This allows it to avoid getting stuck or snagged on some terrain areas but offers little advantage otherwise.

It has no [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]], and must take refuge from intense [[Weather|storms]].

It also has a fast metabolism, and must regularly hunt to avoid starvation.

The Icthyovenator is a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivore]], and is able to easily catch [[Fish|fish]] to sustain its [[Food|hunger]].

Its [[Primary Attack|primary attack]], both in and out of the water, is a simple [[Bite|bite]]. It inflicts moderate damage and has a moderately quick attack speed.

Out of the water, its [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a claw swipe, dealing identical damage to that of its primary attack, but along its claws such that it can more easily hit raptors or other smaller creatures that are directly in front of and below its jaw.

Unique Abilities: In the water, its secondary attack becomes a [[Darting|dart]]. Darting allows the Ichthyovenator significant aquatic mobility in a unique way not granted to the [[Mosasaurus]] or [[Elasmosaurus]]. It can, for the cost of [[Stamina|stamina]] and [[Ability|ability power]], propel itself with a powerful thrust through the water. While darting, its jaw will open, allowing it to more easily catch and consume fish. If fish are successfully caught, the Ichthyovenator will be returned some of the ability power consumed on the use of the dart, allowing it to easily sustain rapid and continuous fishing should it be successful with aim.

While grabbed by a creature such as the [[Mosasaurus]], the Iththyovenator can [[Struggling|struggle]], evading the jaws of death at the cost of significant ability power, stamina, [[Health|HP]], and infliction of severe [[Injury|injury]]. The price may be high, but a Mosasaurus can [[Thrash Damage|thrash]] the Ichthyovenator to death in one grab, so any price is better than [[Death|death]]. The intent is that a player can use this ability to escape a grab and scamper to shore. If, however, one is caught too far away from the shoreline, the exhausted and injured Ichthyovenator will be caught once again by the Mosasaurus rather easily.

Other facts: The Icthyovenator is currently the only semi-aquatic carnivore. This gives it a massive advantage over other carnivores, giving it access to an entirely new food source: fish. Being semi-aquatic also allows the Icthyovenator to be flexible, able to migrate from land to sea or between islands to evade both land and sea predators. It is rather slow on the land, being a bit slower than the [[Acrocanthosaurus]].

The Apatosaurus is the [[Size|largest]] animal in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivore]], surviving solely off the consumption of [[Foliage System|plants]] to satiate its [[Food|hunger]]. It has the biggest belly of any animal in the game, being able to survive well over an hour without eating if it needs to. This big belly, however, is also difficult to fill and requires consumption of significant amounts of foliage. The Apatosaurus is the most difficult creature to become [[Weight Gain|overweight]]. It can also survive significant amounts of time without [[Freshwater Lakes|water]], but when it does [[Thirst|drink]], it will very rapidly deplete any lake it is drinking from, thus the Apatosaurus can be a very effective animal for deliberately [[Beaching|beaching]] any [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic creatures]] taking an ambush position in a lake. It's [[Size|size]] stat is also tremendously large, and it has the highest [[Health|HP]], but it is also the slowest animal in the game. It is the only animal in the game to possess the ability to destroy and consume class 5 foliage such as large trees.

The Apatosaurus' [[Primary Attack|primary attack]] is a stomp. It rears up onto its hind legs momentarily and then stomps with its front limbs. If anything is nearby, it will take a very heavy amount of damage. The only creature capable of surviving this stomp is another Apatosaurus. This attack, however, also can make you vulnerable as movement is not allowed during the stomp attack.

The Apatosaurus also has a much more potent [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]], which is its tail whip attack. This attack should be the primary means of defense for the Apatosaurus. The execution of this attack is a bit different than others, as the attack is actually initiated when the Secondary Attack Keybind (Default is Right Mouse button) is released, rather than when it is pressed. While the button is held, the Apatosaurus' tail will aim in the direction of the player's camera. When released, the tail will crack like a whip, dealing lots of damage and applying [[Knockback|knockback]]. Implementation of this mechanic was not an easy task, and a development blog on the topic was written [http://beastsofbermuda.com/blog/post/Tail%20Tracking/ here].

Unique Abilities: The Apatosaurus possesses the highest [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] of any [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial]] creature. It is also capable of granting some of its weather resistance to nearby [[Groups|herd members]], an ability unique to it. The Apatosaurus is also capable of walking backward, an ability granted solely to it such that it can utilize knockback on its hind legs to avoid a blind spot where the tail cannot reach. In order to walk backwards, a player must press and hold the crouch [[Keybind|keybind]]. This will knock back anything against the hind legs of the Apatosaurus, often into the range of its deadly tail.

Other facts: Being a very large creature, the Apatosaurus has little to fear at adult size. Most predators cannot take it on alone, and it is impervious to all but the strongest storms. Indeed, a healthy adult Apatosaurus is a force to be reckoned with and has few predators.

The Apatosaurus is able to defend itself on all sides. It has a powerful stomp attack as well as a tail whip, both of which can prove deadly to even the largest of foes.

The Apatosaurus possesses profound knockback. If anything gets near its feet, they will be kicked quite far. The smaller the victim of its kick, the further it will be punted. The [[Velociraptor]] can be punted extremely far, often threatening it with significant [[Fall Damage|fall damage]].

The Acrocanthosaurus is a large, playable [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivore]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is one of the slowest carnivores in the game, only being faster than the [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatic]] [[Ichthyovenator]]'s terrestrial movement speed. However, it has the highest damage output and the strongest bite of any carnivore currently in-game. It also has the highest [[Health|health]] and [[Size|size]]. The Acrocanthosaurus is a superb ambusher due to its high damage output. It is the carnivore most capable of hunting the huge [[Apatosaurus]] and the swift [[Parasaurolophus]].

Its attacks are fairly straightforward, possessing both a forwards-aimed and a downwards-aimed bite as its [[Primary Attack|primary]] and [[Secondary Attack|secondary]] attack.

Special Abilities: Acrocanthosaurus will be able to inflict terrible [[bleeding]] wounds on its opponents. Bleeding is a status effect that damages health, comfort and raises injury damage. This allows the Acrocanthosaurus to engage in persistence hunting, wearing its prey out over long distances while they succumb to blood loss. A skilled Acrocanthosaurus can fell even the largest of creatures, so long as they are not allowed to recuperate.

Other facts: The Acrocanthosaurus will be the second strongest carnivore in the EA release, after the Tyrannosaurus. It makes up for the lack of power to Tyrannosaurus with superior speed, meaning it is able to pursue a wider variety of prey over long distances.

The Acrocanthosaurus is capable of doing a small [[Jumping|jump]] that costs significant [[Stamina|stamina]]. It serves only the purpose of allowing the Acrocanthosaurus to avoid getting stuck on small ledges or rocks in certain areas, granting little other utility.

The Acrocanthosaurus has a very mild amount of [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] and must take refuge from intense [[Weather|weather]].

It also has a fast metabolism and must eat regularly to avoid [[Food|starvation]].

The Elasmosaurus is an [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivore]] and primarily roams the [[ocean]], consuming [[Fish|fish]]. This creature, however, is hardly defenseless and can pose a significant threat to any [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial creatures]] who dare enter the water. Creating the Elasmosaurus and transforming it into a practical creature for gameplay was a difficult endeavor, mostly due to its long neck. A development blog post was created on the topic [http://beastsofbermuda.com/blog/post/ElasmoHeadTracking/ here]. It is currently the only creature to have an auto-aim mechanic with its [[Primary Attack|bite]] attack and uses a similar mechanic to eat carcasses or grab smaller prey.

The Elasmosaurus' [[Primary Attack|primary attack]] is a bite. It deals light damage, on par with raptors or other smaller creatures. It can strike swiftly from afar due to its long neck. Its head is vulnerable to damage, so caution on when to bite must be taken if the prey is capable of fighting back. In the absence of more threatening targets, the primary attack will auto-target nearby fish and allow the Elasmosaurus to effortlessly grab them out of the ocean for consumption.

The Elasmosaurus' [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a [[Grabbing|grab]]. It is capable of grabbing smaller creatures right off the shoreline and dragging them down into the water. For particularly small prey such as [[Velociraptor|velociraptors]], the Elasmosaurus can consume them whole by executing its secondary attack once again while the prey is in its jaws. If the creature is relatively large such as a [[Pachycephalosaurus]] or a [[Utahraptor]], it will [[Thrash Damage|thrash]] just as the Mosasaurus does. [[Food]] is granted upon consumption of prey whole.

Abilities: The Elasmosaurus can highlight fish to make easier for consumption. It also has an automatic aiming system, so it will almost always strike its opponents when they are within a certain radius of it.

Other Facts: While it's the weakest aquatic of the three currently in the game, the Elasmosaurus makes up for this weakness in its resourcefulness. Able to catch and eat fish which larger aquatics would be too large and clumsy to catch, the Elasmosaurus is more adept at hunting such prey. It can also grab and drag smaller animals into the water, feeding on their carcasses. 
 
Elasmosaurus is also able to put points into the talent tree to acquire the ability to become invisible. It does not start out with this ability, but is a part of the game that encourages you to invest in talent points. 

The Elasmosaurus has fantastic [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]], allowing it to completely ignore the [[Comfort|negative effects]] of [[Weather|storms]].

However, Elasmosaurus is rather fragile, having relatively low [[Health|HP]] for its [[Size|size]].

The relationship between [[Mosasaurus]] and Elasmosaurus was one of particular focus. The Elasmosaurus is capable of biting the Mosasaurus while residing safely outside range of the Mosasaurus' grab attack. It is also immune to grabbing on its head and neck, and must be grabbed by the torso. The Elasmosaurus is faster than the Mosasaurus and has more stamina. Two or more Elasmosaurus are a threat to a Mosasaurus typically.

Aquatic Creatures

2018-10-07T03:22:27Z

Dinoman9877: Added Kronosaurus to the list.

Beasts of Bermuda contains playable creatures that exist in aquatic environments, usually the [[Ocean|ocean]]. These creatures are very swift in the ocean, but completely [[Beaching|inept on land]]. Currently the game has two playable aquatic creatures.

* [[Mosasaurus]]

[[File:Mosa1.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|Mosasaurus]]

* [[Elasmosaurus]]

[[File:Elasmosaurus.png|right|thumb|400px|border|Elasmosaurus]]

* [[Kronosaurus]]

Maps are frequently designed with these creatures in mind. Many [[Freshwater Lakes|lakes]] contain [[Dungeons|caves]] that link to larger bodies of water where aquatic creatures often [[Spawning System|spawn]]. The maps often have areas that are exposed to flooding via [[Tidal System|tides]] such that areas that may be easy to traverse for [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial]] creatures during low tide may be very dangerous during high tide. [[Weather|Storm surges]] also provide a significant boon for aquatic creatures to reach areas they normally could not.

Aquatic creatures have significantly beneficial [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] stats, making them nearly immune to the [[Comfort|negative effects]] of [[Weather|storms]].

Aquatic creatures do not need to [[Thirst|drink]], but they do need to occasionally [[Air|breathe]] in order to survive. One must occasionally surface in order to refill their air, shown in place of thirst in our current, soon to be legacy [[UI]]. Air, or lack thereof, has identical influence on aquatic creatures that thirst and hydration have on non aquatic creatures.
*Frequently surfacing for air will improve the rate at which a creature recovers lost [[Health|HP]]. A state of very low oxygen can cause a creature's HP to decay over time rather than heal.
*Keeping your oxygen high increases the rate at which a player's [[Stamina|stamina]] recharges by 15%, whereas being low on breath will cause a player's stamina to recharge 15% slower.
*Keeping your oxygen high increases the rate at which a player's [[Ability|ability power]] recharges by 15%, whereas being low on breath will cause a player's ability power to recharge 15% slower.
*A creature with a fresh breath of air will more rapidly heal from [[Injury|injuries]].

Aquatic creatures frequently have [[Grabbing|grabs]] to drag their prey into the water. Doing so, however, drains lots of [[Air|air]].

Aquatic creatures do not use the [[Drowning|breath mechanic]] to represent holding ones breath. Instead, they have [[Air|air]].

The [[Ichthyovenator]] will be semiaquatic, harboring traits from both aquatic and [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrail]] creatures.

Kronosaurus

'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 10.5 meters (34 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 11 tonnes (12 short tons) 
'''Category:''' Aquatic 
'''Diet:''' Meat, Fish 

Kronosaurus is a large [[Aquatic_Creatures|aquatic reptile]]. Kronosaurs are possibly the top of the food aquatic food chain in the game, despite their smaller size and slower speed compared to the [[Mosasaurus]]. A skilled Kronosaurus is able to use its special charging ability to deal immense damage to a target, but this attack requires timing and good aim to land, but can severely cripple or outright kill the target easily.

Attack: Kronosaurus is able to bite using the left-click button on your mouse. This attack does moderate damage on average, changing depending on which dinosaur it's biting. (If it bit an [[Apatosaurus]], it would do less damage than if it were to bite a [[Parasaurolophus|Parasauraulophus]].)

Unique Abilities: The Kronosaurus can hold right-click to perform a charge attack that can do massive damage once released depending on how long the button was held. This shatters bone and cripples its prey, making for an easy kill.

Other Facts: An apex predator of the Bermuda seas, the Kronosaurus is an ambush hunter. Lying in the depths for unsuspecting prey, the Kronosaurus can have surprising speed when using its special ability. While primarily a carnivore, the Kronosaurus can feed on fish in times of desperation.

Dinoman9877: Short summary of a Kronosaurus

'''Species:''' K. queenslandicus 
'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 10.5 meters (34 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 11 tonnes (12 short tons) 
'''Category:''' Aquatic 
'''Diet:''' Meat, Fish 

Kronosaurus is a large [[Aquatic_Creatures|aquatic_reptile]]. Kronosaurs are possibly the top of the food aquatic food chain in the game, despite their smaller size and slower speed compared to the [[Mosasaurus]]. A skilled Kronosaurus is able to use its special charging ability to deal immense damage to a target, but this attack requires timing and good aim to land, but can severely cripple or outright kill the target easily.

Attack: Kronosaurus is able to bite using the left-click button on your mouse. This attack does moderate damage on average, changing depending on which dinosaur it's biting. (If it bit an [[Apatosaurus]], it would do less damage than if it were to bite a [[Parasaurolophus|Parasauraulophus]].)

[[File:Parasaur.png|400px|thumb|right|A Parasaurolophus]]

'''Species:''' P. walkeri 
'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 9.5 meters (31 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 2.5 tonnes (2.8 short tons) 
'''Category:''' Herbivore 
'''Diet:''' Plants 

Parasaurolophus is a medium sized [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivore]] and currently the only ornithopod in the game, soon to be joined by the small [[Oryctodromeus]] and later by the semi-aquatic [[Lurdusaurus]].

As a hadrosaur, the Parasaurolophus lacks the major offensive capabilities of the other herbivores currently in the game. While it could be just as dangerous as any other animals if given the chance, parasaurolophus' primary defense is to flee from large threats such as [[Acrocanthosaurus]] or [[Megalosaurus]], using superior speed and stamina to outlast them in a chase. Even if caught, a parasaurolophus can take a number of hits before going down, allowing it to fight back against its assailants or possibly escape before death by tiring them out.

Unique Ability: The Parasaurolophus is able to lock on to enemies, emitting a sophisticated [[alarm call]] as well as highlighting the enemy for all members of its group. The call varies depending on the severity of the threat, with a total of 3 tiers (Minor, Moderate, and Major threat).

Other Facts: Parasaurolophus falls prey to many species of carnivores, but a healthy adult is no pushover. Powerful legs and a considerable weight allow adults to severely injure and even kill smaller carnivores they can't outrun.

The Parasaurolophus has a characteristic crest which it uses to communicate with herd members.

The Parasaurolophus is able to graze while moving at the same time.

Lurdusaurus

2018-10-06T23:15:31Z

Dinoman9877: A short description of Lurdusaurus

'''Species:''' L. arenatus 
'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 9 meters (30 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 5.5 tonnes (6.1 short tons) 
'''Category:''' Herbivore 
'''Diet:''' Plants 

Lurdusaurus is a large [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivorous]] ornithopod. Lurdusaurus is unique among ornithopods for its stout build and relatively short limbs, giving it an uncanny resemblance to the ankylosaurs despite not being a direct relative. This short, stout build is thought to have served a similar purpose as it does in the hippopotamus, allowing the creature to move on both land and in the water.

The Lurdusaurus in the game will be the first semi-aquatic herbivore, comfortable on land and in the water, but not masters of moving on either. This allows the Lurdusaurus to use the water to escape the predators of the land, and land to escape aquatic predators. This means that the [[Ichthyovenator]] is currently the prime candidate for Lurdusaurus' main predator, since it can easily follow no matter where Lurdusaurus tries to go.

Unique Ability: The Lurudsaurus will be a [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semi-aquatic]] [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivore]], able to freely move from land to sea to feed on new food sources and evade predators. 

Other facts: While currently not in the game, the Lurdusaurus will be in the EA release.

Herbivorous Creatures

2018-10-06T20:15:39Z

Dinoman9877: Added the not yet implemented herbivores

[[File:ApatoInStorm.jpg|right|thumb|400px|A Herd of Apatosaurus Weathering a Storm]]

Herbivorous creatures rely solely on consuming [[Foliage System|plants]] for [[Food|food]]. They are unable to consume [[Fish|fish]] or [[Carcass|meat]]. Beasts of Bermuda currently has three playable creatures that are herbivorous. These are:

*[[Apatosaurus]]
*[[Pachycephalosaurus]]
*[[Parasaurolophus]]

There are other herbivores currently confirmed and in development for addition to the game; these are:
*[[Lurdusaurus]]
*[[Oryctodromeus]]
*[[Saichania]]

Different herbivores are capable of consuming different kinds of plants. Typically [[Size|size]] is the differentiating factor that determines what plants a herbivorous creature is capable of eating. Each creature has a stat, their [[Foliage Class|foliage class]], which determines, among other things, what plants a herbivore is capable of eating. Larger creatures are capable of eating larger plants than smaller ones, but, in turn, larger creatures also receive significantly less food value from smaller plants than smaller herbivores. For this reason, it may be not worth the effort for a very large creature such as the Apatosaurus to consume grass or small bushes a Pachycephalosaurus might find enticing. Only the Apatosaurus is capable of eating very large plants such as large, woody trees.

Herbivores often harbor more beneficial [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] than other [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial creatures]], allowing easier weathering of [[Weather|storms]] than [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivores]]. The Apatosaurus in particular is most suited to toughing through bad weather due to its slowness and inability to access many [[Dungeons|caves]]. It also provides weather resistance to nearby herd members.

Herbivores are able to group across species with one another and form [[groups|herds]], whereas other creatures are only able to group with their own kind. This grouping system encourages cooperative play when players are herbivores, rather than competitive play for predatory creatures. Players seeking a highly social experience would likely enjoy playing herbivores. Many herbivores have cooperative abilities rather than more self-oriented abilities. Examples of this are the Apatosaurus providing weather resistance towards other nearby herd members, and the Parasaurolophus [[Alarm Calls|alarm call]].

While other creatures are [[Comfort|stressed]] by the presence of different species, herbivores grant comfort towards one another when in close proximity regardless of being same or different species. They are also capable of forming cross-species [[Friends and Enemies|friendships]], which is unique only to herbivores. The Apatosaurus grants significant comfort to other nearby herd members.

Herbivores gain [[Survival Points|points]] from exploring and drinking from new [[Freshwater Lakes|water sources]]. Other creatures gain no point benefit from finding and drinking from new sources of water on the [[Maps|map]].

Herbivores do not gain any points from killing other creatures.

Saichania

2018-10-06T19:56:29Z

Dinoman9877: A small summary of Saichania

'''Species:''' S. chulsanensis 
'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 5 meters (16 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 2 tonnes (2.2 short tons) 
'''Category:''' Herbivore 
'''Diet:''' Plants 

Saichania is a medium [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivore]] that is currently not in the game. It is an ankylosaur, and like its relatives it possesses body armor along its back and a bony club on the end of its tail, used in defense against predators.

Unique Ability: While it's not in the game yet, Saichania has planned abilities for its release. For example an armored tank, with which it will be able to brace to take reduced damage. It will also use its tail club to devastating effect in the hands of a skilled player, able to outright kill smaller attackers and severely [[Injury damage|injure]] even the largest predators, like [[Acrocanthosaurus]].

Other Facts: None

Elasmosaurus

2018-10-06T19:24:01Z

Dinoman9877:

[[File:ElasmoFishing.jpg|right|thumb|500px|border|Elasmosaurus Consuming Fish]]

'''Species:''' E. platyurus 
'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 10.3 meters (34 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 2 tonnes (2.2 short tons) 
'''Category:''' Aquatic 
'''Diet:''' Fish, Meat 

The Elasmosaurus is an [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivore]] and primarily roams the [[ocean]], consuming [[Fish|fish]]. This creature, however, is hardly defenseless and can pose a significant threat to any [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial creatures]] who dare enter the water. Creating the Elasmosaurus and transforming it into a practical creature for gameplay was a difficult endeavor, mostly due to its long neck. A development blog post was created on the topic [http://beastsofbermuda.com/blog/post/ElasmoHeadTracking/ here]. It is currently the only creature to have an auto-aim mechanic with its [[Primary Attack|bite]] attack and uses a similar mechanic to eat carcasses or grab smaller prey.

The Elasmosaurus' [[Primary Attack|primary attack]] is a bite. It deals light damage, on par with raptors or other smaller creatures. It can strike swiftly from afar due to its long neck. Its head is vulnerable to damage, so caution on when to bite must be taken if the prey is capable of fighting back. In the absence of more threatening targets, the primary attack will auto-target nearby fish and allow the Elasmosaurus to effortlessly grab them out of the ocean for consumption.

The Elasmosaurus' [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a [[Grabbing|grab]]. It is capable of grabbing smaller creatures right off the shoreline and dragging them down into the water. For particularly small prey such as [[Velociraptor|velociraptors]], the Elasmosaurus can consume them whole by executing its secondary attack once again while the prey is in its jaws. If the creature is relatively large such as a [[Pachycephalosaurus]] or a [[Utahraptor]], it will [[Thrash Damage|thrash]] just as the Mosasaurus does. [[Food]] is granted upon consumption of prey whole.

Abilities: The Elasmosaurus can highlight fish to make easier for consumption. It also has an automatic aiming system, so it will almost always strike its opponents when they are within a certain radius of it.

Other Facts: While it's the weakest aquatic of the three currently in the game, the Elasmosaurus makes up for this weakness in its resourcefulness. Able to catch and eat fish which larger aquatics would be too large and clumsy to catch, the Elasmosaurus is more adept at hunting such prey. It can also grab and drag smaller animals into the water, feeding on their carcasses. 
 
Elasmosaurus is also able to put points into the talent tree to acquire the ability to become invisible. It does not start out with this ability, but is a part of the game that encourages you to invest in talent points. 

The Elasmosaurus has fantastic [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]], allowing it to completely ignore the [[Comfort|negative effects]] of [[Weather|storms]].

However, Elasmosaurus is rather fragile, having relatively low [[Health|HP]] for its [[Size|size]].

The relationship between [[Mosasaurus]] and Elasmosaurus was one of particular focus. The Elasmosaurus is capable of biting the Mosasaurus while residing safely outside range of the Mosasaurus' grab attack. It is also immune to grabbing on its head and neck, and must be grabbed by the torso. The Elasmosaurus is faster than the Mosasaurus and has more stamina. Two or more Elasmosaurus are a threat to a Mosasaurus typically.

Feathered and Scaly variants

2018-10-06T19:17:05Z

Dinoman9877:

While most dinosaurs have only one model, there are a few where the player can choose between being feathered or scaly.

These dinosaurs include:

* [[Tyrannosaurus_rex|Tyrannosaurus rex]]
* [[Oryctodromeus]]

Oryctodromeus

2018-10-06T19:14:28Z

Dinoman9877:

'''Species:''' O. cubicularis 
'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 2.1 meters (6.9 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 33 kilograms (71 pounds) 
'''Category:''' Herbivore 
'''Diet:''' Plants 

The Oryctodromeus is currently the smallest [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivore]] confirmed for the game. The small animals are virtually defenseless to any of the predators in the game and rely on fleeing and hiding in burrows which they [[Digging Mechanic and Burrows|dig]]. These burrows are able to be expanded and connected by the individuals in a colony, creating a tunnel system below ground with which they can safely move.

Each individual Oryctodromeus will be able to dig two exit holes, allowing for a series of bolt holes to which the colony can flee, moving underground to exit someplace else away from whatever was threatening them. Smaller animals, such as juvenile dinosaurs and the [[Velociraptor]] are able to enter these burrows, however, making the Velociraptor the main predator of the Oryctodromeus by being able to flush them out wherever they may try to hide.

Burrows must be maintained by a colony to prevent them collapsing, meaning only Oryctodromeus can utilize their burrows as long term shelter from [[Weather|weather]] and [[Carnivorous_Creatures|predators]].

Unique Ability: The Oryctodromeus is able to dig burrows.

Other Facts: By digging burrows, the Oryctodromeus is able to avoid being eaten by large predators. Large numbers of Oryctodromeus can eat, breed, and raise young inside an interconnected series of burrows. They are even flood and tornado proof and allow the Oryctodromeus to access areas other animals cannot.

Oryctodromeus will also have an option between being [[Feathered and Scaly variants|feathered or scaly]].

Parasaurolophus

Dinoman9877: Added a small summary of the parasaur.

Ichthyovenator

2018-10-06T18:31:47Z

Dinoman9877:

[[File:Ichthy.jpg|right|thumb|400px|border|An Ichthyovenator]]

'''Species:''' I. laosensis 
'''Time Period:''' Cretaceous 
'''Length:''' 8.5 meters (27 feet) 
'''Weight:''' 2 tonnes (2.2 short tons) 
'''Category:''' Carnivore 
'''Diet:''' Fish, Meat 

The Icthyovenator is a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivore]], and is able to easily catch [[Fish|fish]] to sustain its [[Food|hunger]].

Its [[Primary Attack|primary attack]], both in and out of the water, is a simple [[Bite|bite]]. It inflicts moderate damage and has a moderately quick attack speed.

Out of the water, its [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a claw swipe, dealing identical damage to that of its primary attack, but along its claws such that it can more easily hit raptors or other smaller creatures that are directly in front of and below its jaw.

Unique Abilities: In the water, its secondary attack becomes a [[Darting|dart]]. Darting allows the Ichthyovenator significant aquatic mobility in a unique way not granted to the [[Mosasaurus]] or [[Elasmosaurus]]. It can, for the cost of [[Stamina|stamina]] and [[Ability|ability power]], propel itself with a powerful thrust through the water. While darting, its jaw will open, allowing it to more easily catch and consume fish. If fish are successfully caught, the Ichthyovenator will be returned some of the ability power consumed on the use of the dart, allowing it to easily sustain rapid and continuous fishing should it be successful with aim.

While grabbed by a creature such as the [[Mosasaurus]], the Iththyovenator can [[Struggling|struggle]], evading the jaws of death at the cost of significant ability power, stamina, [[Health|HP]], and infliction of severe [[Injury|injury]]. The price may be high, but a Mosasaurus can [[Thrash Damage|thrash]] the Ichthyovenator to death in one grab, so any price is better than [[Death|death]]. The intent is that a player can use this ability to escape a grab and scamper to shore. If, however, one is caught too far away from the shoreline, the exhausted and injured Ichthyovenator will be caught once again by the Mosasaurus rather easily.

Other facts: The Icthyovenator is currently the only semi-aquatic carnivore. This gives it a massive advantage over other carnivores, giving it access to an entirely new food source: fish. Being semi-aquatic also allows the Icthyovenator to be flexible, able to migrate from land to sea or between islands to evade both land and sea predators. It is rather slow on the land, being a bit slower than the [[Acrocanthosaurus]].
