The Elasmosaurus is a playable [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a very versatile swimmer, and can utilize its great mobility for a variety of situations.
  
−
=== Overview ===
+
It is [[Piscivorous Creatures|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 System|scent]] key.

The Elasmosaurus is a [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. Though it does not possess the high health and damage of the [[Mosasaurus]] or the [[Kronosaurus]], it is currently the fastest swimmer in the game.
+
The Elasmosaurus is the third-fastest creature in the game, only beaten in speed by the [[Pteranodon]] and [[Tropeognathus]] The Elasmosaurus can use this extreme swimming speed to dodge its opponents and best them in combat with hit-and-run tactics, and it even has the ability to grab and drown flying prey in a similar fashion to the [[Mosasaurus]]. In some cases, a group of Elasmosaurus may take down prey as big as a [[Kronosaurus]]!

It is [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]], meaning specialises at eating fish. It can echolocate to reveal their location, as well as snatch them up with ease due to its very high attack range, which makes it so that it almost always hits its target.

But it can always choose a much more aggressive style of play. It has the ability to choke and drown its opponents in a similarly gruesome fashion to the [[Mosasaurus]], and adding to that is its surprisingly versatile skill tree. It can shift into a nearly-invisible state that allows it to swim undetected, reduce a victim's comfort to 0 in a second's worth of notice or even leap over entire landmass to access new bodies of water, making its gameplay very flexible and almost somewhat unpredictable.

'''Unique Attributes:''' The Elasmosaurus has an automatic aiming system. It will always strike targets within its attack radius without having to directly face them. Additionally, by using the [[Scent System|scent]] key, the Elasmosaurus will highlight fish from far away, making them much easier to locate.

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!
