=== Overview ===
 
  
−
The Apatosaurus is the [[Size|largest]] animal in Beasts of Bermuda. It's so big that nearby creatures will get knocked away by its footsteps.
 
  
−
Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus has the biggest belly of any creature in the game. Its diet consists of almost any kind of plant, including trees, and its thirst sometimes causes it to sip entire ponds straight up dry! Once satisfied, the Apatosaurus doesn't have to eat or drink for a very, very long time.
 
  
−
Alongside this, the Apatosaurus has a strong natural resistance to harsh weather. For instance, the Apatosaurus can't be picked up by a tornado! Furthermore, it also grants nearby herbivores some if its weather resistance too, making the Apatosaurus an excellent creature for saving the lives of others caught in a storm.
 
  
−
Lastly, The Apatosaurus boasts the highest amount of [[Health|HP]] and [[Damage|damage]] in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback, making it '''very''' hard to for any predator to kill. This effectively deters most predators from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed life.
 
−
____________________________________________________________________
 
  
−
=== Abilities ===
 
  
−
[[Primary Attack|primary attack]]: A stomp attack.  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.
 
  
−
[[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]]: A tail whip attack, much more potent than its stomp. 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 heavy [[Knockback|knockback]].

The Apatosaurus is a playable [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivorous]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as the [[Size|largest]] playable creature. Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus must consume at a very frequent rate.

Thanks to its immense bulk, the Apatosaurus has superb resistance to harsh weather and boasts the highest amount of [[Health|HP]] in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback and [[Damage|damage]], making it very difficult to for any predator to kill. This discourages many predators from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed adult life... if it can reach adulthood, that is.

'''Secondly''', when the Apatosaurus walks, its huge footsteps knock nearby creatures out of its way.

−
'''Thirdly''', the Apatosaurus is capable of walking backwards. This is to prevent attackers from hiding under its hind legs, which are not in range of the whip attack. Walking backwards will cause them to be knocked back and into the range of the whip attack. In order to walk backwards, a player must press and hold the crouch [[Keybind|keybind]].
+
'''Unique Attributes:''' The Apatosaurus can deal knockback to creatures simply by walking into them. Additionally, it can walk backwards by crouching.

Oops, something's missing!
It looks like this page is missing something - or maybe a lot of things! Beasts of Bermuda, despite its recent player increase, has had a very loyal following that didn't require a Wiki for the most part because of how tight-knit its community is. This means this Wiki has gone unmaned for a while now! Fear not, however, for there are still many resources out there while we try to update this site, such as our New Player Guide or the Official Discord Server. See you out there on the islands!

Overview

The Apatosaurus is a playable herbivorous creature in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as the largest playable creature. Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus must consume at a very frequent rate.

It also must drink copious amounts of water, and this sometimes causes it to sip entire ponds dry!

Thanks to its immense bulk, the Apatosaurus has superb resistance to harsh weather and boasts the highest amount of HP in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback and damage, making it very difficult to for any predator to kill. This discourages many predators from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed adult life... if it can reach adulthood, that is.
