The Pteranodon is a playable [[Flying Creatures|flying creature]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is the fastest and most mobile creature in the game, able to soar through the skies at incredible speeds. This lets it able to access areas no other creature can reach, such as isolated landmasses and steep, high mountain peaks. However it must be careful occupying these locations in certain weather conditions, as it is extremely vulnerable to lightning strikes and windstorms. During these events, the Pteranodon must take refuge in a sheltered location during these events.

As for its diet, the Pteranodon is [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]]. It will often plunge into the ocean to catch fish - but it's not limited to eating ''just'' fish. It can become a scavenger, feasting on decaying meat if enough Scavenger points are put into its Ability Tree, as well as being able to kill other creatures by launching a deadly aerial assault from the sky. With its greatly adjustable diet, ability to fly and fast growth time, the Pteranodon has a high chance of successfully reaching its adult stage... provided it doesn't crash into anything!

Pteranodon (also known as Ptera, PT, Petra, or sometimes simply referred to as ‘bird’) is a playable [[Flying Creatures|pterosaur]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is one of the most agile creatures in the game, able to soar and glide through the air at incredible speed. Its ability to [[Flight|fly]] allows it to access places that few creatures can reach, such as high-up rocks and cliffs, or isolated seastacks in the [[ocean]]. Some of these locations provide perfect [[shelter]] from [[Natural Disasters|storms]], which Pteranodon are quite vulnerable to!

* Pteranodon is fragile, and is extremely vulnerable to [[Injury|injury damage]]. With too much injury it cannot fly, becoming slow and helpless on the ground.

* Pteras are weak to intense [[Natural Disasters|weather]], even with the Weather Resistance [[Talents|talent]]. When a storm starts up, it’s best for them to seek [[shelter]] immediately.

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

Pteranodon (also known as Ptera, PT, Petra, or sometimes simply referred to as ‘bird’) is a playable pterosaur in Beasts of Bermuda. It is one of the most agile creatures in the game, able to soar and glide through the air at incredible speed. Its ability to fly allows it to access places that few creatures can reach, such as high-up rocks and cliffs, or isolated seastacks in the ocean. Some of these locations provide perfect shelter from storms, which Pteranodon are quite vulnerable to!

Pteranodon has a piscivorous diet, and can be seen plunging into the water for fish from time to time. However, to remain in good health, Pteranodon must also frequently consume carcasses that are obtained by defeating other players, or found randomly throughout the map.

It has many hunting methods, although the most common is dive-bombing. Dives require careful aim and precision to prevent crashing at high speeds. If you're fast enough, you become no more than a blur to your opponents; you're nearly impossible to hit!
