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 Mousebutton) 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 Abilties: 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 backwards, an ability granted solely to it such that it can utilize knockback on its hind legs to avoid a blindspot here where the tail cannot reach.  In order to walk backwards, a player must press and hold the crouch [[Keybind|keybind]].  This will knockback anything against the hind legs of the Apatosaurus, often into 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]].

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. Fortunately, it's not a picky eater: Its diet consists of almost any kind of plant, and it can even consume trees as an adult. 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.
