== Overview ==
Pteranodon (also known as Ptera, PT, Petra, or sometimes simply referred to as ‘bird’) is a playable [[Flying Creatures|pterosaur]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is one of the most agile creatures in the game, able to soar and glide through the air at incredible speed. Its ability to [[Flight|fly]] allows it to access places that few creatures can reach, such as high-up rocks and cliffs, or isolated seastacks in the [[ocean]]. Some of these locations provide perfect [[shelter]] from [[Natural Disasters|storms]], which Pteranodon are quite vulnerable to!

Pteranodon has a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]] diet, and can be seen plunging into the water for [[fish]] from time to time. However, to remain in good health, Pteranodon must also frequently consume [[Carcass|carcasses]] that are obtained by defeating other players, or found randomly throughout the map.

It has many hunting methods, although the most common is dive-bombing. Dives require careful aim and precision to prevent crashing at high speeds. If you're fast enough, you become no more than a blur to your opponents; you're nearly impossible to hit!

== Abilities ==
* '''Bite'''
** Default: LMB and RMB (Left and Right Mouse Button)
** A simple bite attack that can be angled forward and down with the usage of both mouse buttons.

* '''Dart'''
** Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
** A speed boost and attack ability that may only be used while submerged in water.
** This ability will propel you forward at great speeds, and can even be used to take off quickly from the water.
** Darting into another creature will deal damage to them.

* '''Flight'''
** Default: W + SHIFT + SPACE
** This ability is unique to the Flier class, and can be used by jumping, sprinting, and holding your W key at the same time.
** Taking off consumes [[stamina]] initially, and sprinting while flying will drain your stamina as well, but you can glide and dive freely without losing any energy as you go.

* '''Braking'''
** Default: Q
** Braking allows you to slow down mid-flight, to prevent crash-landings.
** To slow your flight, hold down your Interact keybind (default Q).
** You can hold the SPACE key to prevent altitude loss from braking.

* '''Aerial Acrobatics'''
** Default: Z
** Aerial acrobatics gives a brief burst of intense speed and maneuverability.

== Survival Tips ==
* Pteranodon is both swift and nimble, able to out-speed and outmaneuver many of its opponents. It has the tightest turn circle and the highest acceleration of the [[Flying Creatures|flying creatures]], making it quite hard to catch in the air, greatly aiding in its escapes. Utilize this superior mobility by diving in swoops and arcs to evade enemies.
* Pteranodon is fragile, and is extremely vulnerable to [[Injury|injury damage]]. With too much injury it cannot fly, becoming slow and helpless on the ground. By investing in the [[talents]] Strong Legs, you can mitigate injury from crash landings. By investing in Strong Bones or Brace for Impact, you can mitigate injury from other players.
* Pteranodon’s [[Diets|diet]] is primarily [[fish]], although, to remain in peak health, it must also occasionally consume [[Carcass|meat]]. Meat can be obtained by defeating other players, or by scavenging the map for naturally-spawning gores.
* The faster a Pteranodon is moving, the more damage it will deal to its enemies. With the Piercing Beak [[Talents|talent]], it can further increase its damage at higher velocities.
* Pteranodons are one of only a handful of creatures that have the [[Talents|talent]] Nest Raider. This talent allows the player to grab and [[Carrying Mechanic|carry]] off young creatures of different species, provided they’re not too heavy to fly with! Carrying babies and juveniles will drain your [[Ability|Ability Power]] over time, meaning you can’t carry them forever. This talent also allows the user to eat [[Nesting|eggs]].
* Pteras are weak to intense [[Natural Disasters|weather]], even with the Weather Resistance [[Talents|talent]]. When a storm starts up, it’s best for them to seek [[shelter]] immediately. If you’re afraid of Pteranodons, but have good weather resistance, storms are the best time to be out and about while they keep comfortable in [[caves]] ‘til the storm passes!

== Trivia ==
* Pteranodon’s in-game calls were created by using and modifying emu sounds.
* Pteranodon has had a total of 2 remodels, from the old store-bought asset by Mantis Hatchery, to the second model by Manuelsaurus, to the current model by Callie.
* Pteranodon was the first creature to ever receive a [[Exclusive skins|Shimmer]] skin, the Phantom Shimmer Pteranodon. This shimmer was also the first and only event to have ever been a contest, unlike the participation events that followed.
* Pteranodon (and [[Tropeognathus]]) used to be incapable of dealing [[Damage|physical damage]] to [[Apatosaurus]]. This is because they would hover around Apatosaurus’s head and neck hitbox, where the Apato could not reach to defend itself. Now, after the Apatosaurus rework (March 10th, 2022), it can defend itself and does not need the immunity.
* Pteranodon’s [[flight]] system is inspired by Primal Carnage.

Forest island

2023-04-07T14:14:31Z

Gattgatt:

Forest Island is a very old [[Maps|map]] which was decommissioned some time before the end of 2018. It contained 2 very large islands surrounded by the ocean, separated further by a vast interior sea. In this sea were 2 smaller islands where some creatures could manage to survive. There were also many other small islets in the ocean towards the ends of the map. This map contained various biomes: lakes, forests, plains, [[Caves|dungeons]], temples, marine reefs, [[Caves|caves (and underwater caves)]], and cliffs for [[Pteranodon|Pteranodons]]. The last biome to be added was a [[swamp]].
The map was updated and re-added sometime before 2021.

Beasts of Bermuda currently has three playable maps, which are functional in all gamemodes (though, in the case of Caldera, it is recommended to be paired with the [[Combat gamemode]] due to its small size and arena-like layout).

All three have functioning tidal and [[Weather|weather systems]], edible [[Foliage System|foliage]], ambient spawning corpses, and at least one "main" island.

Beasts of Bermuda is a survival game in which you play as a prehistoric creature native to the mysterious islands of Bermuda: a tropical ecosystem absent from human contact and full of prehistoric life. With its propensity to storms and shifting tides, wildfires and even tornados, the Bermuda is an ever-changing ecosystem.
Choose from several creatures, including terrestrials, flyers, aquatics or semi-aquatics, and battle your way through the severity of [[Food|hunger]], [[Thirst|thirst]], [[Comfort|stress]], and predation, all of which are aspects that pose as constant threats to your survival. Play as whichever creature suits you the best, be it an herbivore, a carnivore, a piscivor or even an omnivore and learn to thrive on the islands of Bermuda.

'''The game is currently under development and was first released on December 21st, 2018 as a primarily multiplayer experience. Check out its Steam page [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ here!]'''

<center>[[File:Divider.png|300x100px]]</center>

<center>'''What does Beasts of Bermuda have to offer?'''</center> 

Beasts of Bermuda offers the experience of playing in unique niches as an (semi-)aquatic, flying, or terrestrial creature. Certain creatures specialize in unique gameplay. For instance, [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semiaquatics]] offer a lifestyle that is different from traditional carnivores and marines, as they are both adept at [[Swimming|swimming]] and running.

The game also has unique map elements. Whether you're seeking a cave to shelter from a [[Weather|storm]], waiting for the [[Tidal System|tide]] to drop to walk safely to a new island, or migrating to avoid a [[Weather|forest fire]] or a depleted [[Freshwater Lakes|water source]], the map is always changing around you and feeling alive.

The playable creatures in Beasts of Bermuda all have their own unique [[Abilities|abilities]]. Some can [[Grabbing|grab]] their prey, others can [[Pouncing|pounce]] large distances, and some can even climb up walls. Every animal is different in Beasts of Bermuda, and a lot of effort has been put into making the [[mechanics]] unique and enjoyable.

[[Comfort|Comfort]] is a unique mechanic that determines how healthy your creature is. At its highest peak, a creature can grow well, but at its lowest, a creature becomes [[Comfort|stressed]] and can die. [[Comfort|Stress]] can be caused by (but is not limited to) over-eating, staying near ungrouped creatures, and exposure to harsh storms.

Beasts of Bermuda give players free reign over how they look. [[Skin Customization|Skins]] are completely customizable, allowing the user a free range of color choices, whether it be for camouflage or dazzle. Additionally, the [[Talent tree|talents]] mechanic allows players to choose their creature's specialties and spend points in different kinds of playstyles, such as extra health or speed.

[[Nesting system|Breeding]] is also an available mechanic; offspring will receive a mixture of their parents' corresponding skins and colors, as well as occasionally sporting mutations of the leucistic, melanistic, and wildcard varieties. Offspring will receive inherits based on their parents' talent trees.

Many different challenges are always present in Beasts of Bermuda. One must find [[Food|food]] and quench their [[Thirst|thirst]] in the ever-changing environment. Different animals have different means of obtaining food. Some are [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivores]] who need to hunt and eat their fellow players to survive. Others are [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivores]], and thus have more peaceful means of eating. [[Piscivorous Creatures|Piscivores]] are capable of eating both other players and [[Fish|fish]]. Along with the necessities of day-to-day survival, mother nature is always at your heels with its unpredictable [[Weather|weather]] that keeps the game interesting to play.

'''Current Gamemodes'''

* [[Life Cycle|Life-cycle]] - This is the nominal game mode, and by far the most popular. The player begins as a juvenile of any species and grows over time, becoming more powerful the bigger they get. Eventually, accompanying model changes will differentiate younger members from their older counterparts. This mode is coupled with a [[Talent tree|talent]] or point-based system, in which the player becomes more powerful in the skills they choose. An additional aspect of this game mode is the work-in-progress [[Trials|Trial System]].

* [[Combat gamemode|Combat]] - This game mode involves constant battling. Players will spawn as adult creatures and can kill other players to gain ever-increasing points. When you die, a percentage of your points are transferred to your killer. Train here to improve your chances of survival or just have fun!

* [[Freeroam|Free Roam]] - In this game mode, the player can select any creature to play without the cost of punishment for death. This mode offers a relaxed atmosphere in which the player can do as they wish. Players tend to join this game mode to socialize, explore, or fight.

'''Regardless of the selected mode of play, settings may differ from server to server based on the owner's preferences.'''

<center>'''Where is Beasts of Bermuda in its development?'''</center> 

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 very much under development. Future development will likely focus on expanding the playable creature roster, improving the quality of the graphics, models, general assets, and then implementing additional game modes.

The game was released on Dec 21st, 2018 on the game's [https://store.steampowered.com/app/719890/Beasts_of_Bermuda/ steam page]. Within their steam page are the game's patch notes where you can read in detail what new mechanics have been implemented. However, the best way to keep up with development is to join the official Beasts of Bermuda discord (https://discord.gg/jYaRG5X), where you can ask the developers in the appropriate channels about the current build of the game.

Saichania

}}

== Overview ==

The Saichania is a playable [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivorous]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a large, durable creature that possesses many defensive abilities that greatly help it defend against any would-be attacker.

Thriving in battle, the Saichania can use its weaponized tail to cripple its enemies, oftentimes causing them to limp almost immediately after receiving a hit. The Saichania can also turn in place to ensure its tail is facing its opponent, but even if caught by surprise at the front, it can defend its head by using its spiky shield, reflecting incoming damage right back at the attacker.

Unfortunately, all these defensive capabilities come at a big cost: a severe lack of mobility. The Saichania is a terrible runner, and will often find itself unable to escape certain deadly situations.

== Abilities ==

'''Unique Attributes:''' The Saichania is immune to injury, meaning it will never suffer from bone-break. It can also turn in place when the crouch key is activated.

* '''Tail Swipe'''
** Default: LMB (Left Mouse Button) / RMB (Right Mouse Button)
** A fast tail swipe. It deals high damage and injury, and costs a moderate amount of [[Ability|ability power]].

* '''Spiky Shield'''
** Default: Z ([[Special Abilities|Ability Key]])
** The Saichania instantly reduces all incoming damage for a few seconds. While active, any attacks made on the Saichania will be reflected back at the attacker (for a minimum of 50% of the damage dealt). This ability costs an enormous amount of [[Ability|ability power]] per activation, and costs additional ability power per use within a short period of time. The ability power cost is partially refunded if Spiky Shield successfully blocks an attack.

== Pros ==
*A well time ability use will take no damage. But, the cooldown to use it again leaves the sai vulnerable to attacks.

== Cons ==
* Spiky Shield can't be used while swimming. Making it an easy target for Mosa, Krono, Elasmo, Lurd, & Itchy.
* Slow speed. Even with full speed, a Sai can't move fast, making it hard to escape any predator that has speed.

== Skins ==

== Overview ==
Pteranodon (also known as Ptera, PT, Petra, or sometimes simply referred to as ‘bird’) is a playable [[Flying Creatures|pterosaur]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is one of the most agile creatures in the game, able to soar and glide through the air at incredible speed. Its ability to [[Flight|fly]] allows it to access places that few creatures can reach, such as high-up rocks and cliffs, or isolated seastacks in the [[ocean]]. Some of these locations provide perfect [[shelter]] from [[Natural Disasters|storms]], which Pteranodon are quite vulnerable to!

Pteranodon has a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]] diet, and can be seen plunging into the water for [[fish]] from time to time. However, to remain in good health, Pteranodon must also frequently consume [[Carcass|carcasses]] that are obtained by defeating other players, or found randomly throughout the map.

It has many hunting methods, although the most common is dive-bombing. Dives require careful aim and precision to prevent crashing at high speeds. If you're fast enough, you become no more than a blur to your opponents; you're nearly impossible to hit!

== Abilities ==
* '''Bite'''
** Default: LMB and RMB (Left and Right Mouse Button)
** A simple bite attack that can be angled forward and down with the usage of both mouse buttons.

* '''Dart'''
** Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
** A speed boost and attack ability that may only be used while submerged in water.
** This ability will propel you forward at great speeds, and can even be used to take off quickly from the water.
** Darting into another creature will deal damage to them.

* '''Flight'''
** Default: W + SHIFT + SPACE
** This ability is unique to the Flier class, and can be used by jumping, sprinting, and holding your W key at the same time.
** Taking off consumes [[stamina]] initially, and sprinting while flying will drain your stamina as well, but you can glide and dive freely without losing any energy as you go.

* '''Braking'''
** Default: Q
** Braking allows you to slow down mid-flight, to prevent crash-landings.
** To slow your flight, hold down your Interact keybind (default Q).
** You can hold the SPACE key to prevent altitude loss from braking.

* '''Aerial Acrobatics'''
** Default: Z
** Aerial acrobatics gives a brief burst of intense speed and maneuverability.

== Survival Tips ==
* Pteranodon is both swift and nimble, able to out-speed and outmaneuver many of its opponents. It has the tightest turn circle and the highest acceleration of the [[Flying Creatures|flying creatures]], making it quite hard to catch in the air, greatly aiding in its escapes. Utilize this superior mobility by diving in swoops and arcs to evade enemies.
* Pteranodon is fragile, and is extremely vulnerable to [[Injury|injury damage]]. With too much injury it cannot fly, becoming slow and helpless on the ground. By investing in the [[talents]] Strong Legs, you can mitigate injury from crash landings. By investing in Strong Bones or Brace for Impact, you can mitigate injury from other players.
* Pteranodon’s [[Diets|diet]] is primarily [[fish]], although, to remain in peak health, it must also occasionally consume [[Carcass|meat]]. Meat can be obtained by defeating other players, or by scavenging the map for naturally-spawning gores.
* The faster a Pteranodon is moving, the more damage it will deal to its enemies. With the Piercing Beak [[Talents|talent]], it can further increase its damage at higher velocities.
* Pteranodons are one of only a handful of creatures that have the [[Talents|talent]] Nest Raider. This talent allows the player to grab and [[Carrying Mechanic|carry]] off young creatures of different species, provided they’re not too heavy to fly with! Carrying babies and juveniles will drain your [[Ability|Ability Power]] over time, meaning you can’t carry them forever. This talent also allows the user to eat [[Nesting|eggs]].
* Pteras are weak to intense [[Natural Disasters|weather]], even with the Weather Resistance [[Talents|talent]]. When a storm starts up, it’s best for them to seek [[shelter]] immediately. If you’re afraid of Pteranodons, but have good weather resistance, storms are the best time to be out and about while they keep comfortable in [[caves]] ‘til the storm passes!

== Trivia ==
* Pteranodon’s in-game calls were created by using and modifying emu sounds.
* Pteranodon has had a total of 2 remodels, from the old store-bought asset by Mantis Hatchery, to the second model by Manuelsaurus, to the current model by Callie.
* Pteranodon was the first creature to ever receive a [[Exclusive skins|Shimmer]] skin, the Phantom Shimmer Pteranodon. This shimmer was also the first and only event to have ever been a contest, unlike the participation events that followed.
* Pteranodon (and [[Tropeognathus]]) used to be incapable of dealing [[Damage|physical damage]] to [[Apatosaurus]]. This is because they would hover around Apatosaurus’s head and neck hitbox, where the Apato could not reach to defend itself. Now, after the Apatosaurus rework (March 10th, 2022), it can defend itself and does not need the immunity.
* Pteranodon’s [[flight]] system is inspired by Primal Carnage.

== Overview ==
Pteranodon (also known as Ptera, PT, Petra, or sometimes simply referred to as ‘bird’) is a playable [[Flying Creatures|pterosaur]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is one of the most agile creatures in the game, able to soar and glide through the air at incredible speed. Its ability to [[Flight|fly]] allows it to access places that few creatures can reach, such as high-up rocks and cliffs, or isolated seastacks in the [[ocean]]. Some of these locations provide perfect [[shelter]] from [[Natural Disasters|storms]], which Pteranodon are quite vulnerable to!

Pteranodon has a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]] diet, and can be seen plunging into the water for [[fish]] from time to time. However, to remain in good health, Pteranodon must also frequently consume [[Carcass|carcasses]] that are obtained by defeating other players, or found randomly throughout the map.

It has many hunting methods, although the most common is dive-bombing. Dives require careful aim and precision to prevent crashing at high speeds. If you're fast enough, you become no more than a blur to your opponents; you're nearly impossible to hit!

== Abilities ==

[[File:Screenshot 2023-04-06 091200.png|thumb|Palaeophis, from a sneak peek]]

Palaeophis is the first creature that existed outside the Mesozoic era to be confirmed for Beasts of Bermuda. [[Main Page|See here]] for a full list of confirmed, discussed, and likely creature additions to the game.

This giant sea snake lived in the Cretaceous era and Eocene epoch. Being a sea snake, it was very likely accustomed to living and preying on the creatures of the open ocean. It was a [[Carnivorous Creatures|carnivore,]] and is currently planned to function as a [[Semiaquatic Creatures|semi-aquatic creature]] in the game. Its in-game abilities are still being decided upon, but it is a possibility that it may feature venom. Palaeophis will likely be able to enter the burrows of [[Oryctodromeus]] or being able to construct burrows on seabeds. Its main environment will probably be shallow waters, similar to [[Lurdusaurus]]. It may have low health and be vulnerable to ambushes by [[Mosasaurus]] or [[Kronosaurus]].

This creature will not be playable for the public for some time.

== Sneak Peak ==
March 20, 2023
"The team and I wanted to share a small preview of the Palaeophis. The development teams’s efforts thus far have been focused on how to get the snake to move realistically, which has been presenting some complicated challenges. As of now, the snake is in a mechanic-less, animation-less state (yes that’s right these aren’t slithering animations, they’re physics simulations!) but we couldn’t wait to show how the movement is coming along so far. The snake is still a ways off, but the team is making great progress tackling its unique set of challenges!" -EchoAlien
