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.

=== Weakness ===
  
−
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|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 is rather fragile, as it has relatively low [[Health|HP]] for its [[Size|size]].

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.

* Like all aquatic creatures, it can die from [[Beaching|beaching]] itself.

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 Creatures|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. <br>

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 Elasmosaurus is a playable aquatic creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a very versatile swimmer, and can utilize its great mobility for a variety of situations.

It is piscivorous, meaning it specializes in eating fish. The Elasmosaurus can consume fish with ease thanks to its very long attack range, as well as its special ability to automatically bite any target within the vicinity of its attack range. Finding fish is not a problem for it either, as it can reveal the location of fish from far away by holding down the scent key.

In some cases, a group of Elasmosaurus may take down prey as big as a Kronosaurus!
