The Elasmosaurus is a playable [[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 much faster than the latter, and its mobility can be used in a variety of situations.

It is [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]], meaning it specializes at eating fish. The Elasmosaurus can consume fish with ease thanks to its very long attack range.

Despite being the weakest aquatic, its high speed allow it to dodge its opponents, and it even has the ability to grab and drown really small prey in a similar fashion to the [[Mosasaurus]]. This makes it a prominent enemy for other piscivorous creatures such as the [[Pteranodon]].

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!

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