The Pteranodon is currently the only [[Flying Creatures|flying creature]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It possesses the ability to fly. Its flight mechanics were inspired by the Primal Carnage Pteranodon, given this game's Pteranodon is highly regarded among many experienced players as being well-suited for combat.  It was designed this way deliberately, over a more realistic flight system.

Its attacks are currently very straightforward, possessing both a forwards-aimed and a downwards-aimed [[Bite|peck]] as its [[Primary Attack|primary]] and [[Secondary Attack|secondary]] attack.  Unique to it, however, its attack damage is not constant.  The faster the Pteranodon is flying, the more damage it will deal with its attacks. This is to reward more adept players who are capable of controlling the creature at faster flight speeds.

Unique Abilities: The Pteranodon is so far the only flier added to the game. This allows it to easily travel from island to island without having to worry about the treacherous water below.

Other Facts: The Pteranodon is an avid fisher. While it cannot swim, it is able to dive into the water at high speeds to reach fish just below the surface. In addition, Pteranodon can swoop down on larger carnivores, harassing them until they give up their food. The Pteranodon has therefore mastered land, air, and sea.

If the Pteranodon is struck during flight by a tree, rock, hillside, or by any terrestrial animal, it will be knocked out of the sky and into a [[Tripping|crash]]. As a Pteranodon, being bitten or grabbed out of the sky by an agitated predator will usually be your death.  Fly carefully.

The Pteranodon is frail and will receive [[Injury|injury damage]] from any source. It also receives significant amounts of injury if it lands poorly or crashes.  Injury damage will cause a poorer flight performance on the Pteranodon, as well as on other, future flyers. Accumulation of injury will both reduce the effectiveness of your [[Movement System|sprint]] as well as pull down your nose.  A Pteranodon who suffers a particularly hard crash may not be able to fly again for several minutes.  They offer very easy prey for smaller creatures such as the [[Velociraptor]] when injured in this way.

== Overview ==
 +
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!

The Pteranodon is very susceptible to [[Weather|weather]] due to its very poor [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] stat. Due to this, it must take refuge from even mild storms or invest in talents that negate comfort damage taken from storms.

Pteranodon has a [[Piscivorous Creatures|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 [[Carcass|carcasses]] that are obtained by defeating other players, or found randomly throughout the map.

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!
