Overview

The Ichthyovenator is a playable piscivorous creature in Beasts of Bermuda. Though somewhat slow on land, it is adept at moving in water. It uses its great aquatic mobility for a variety of uses, such as catching fish, travel long distances, initiating combat or make a swift escape from predators.

The Ichthyovenator is difficult for most predators to catch, as it can dive into the water when chased by larger terrestrial creatures, and scramble back onto the shoreline when approached by deep-sea threats. Adding to its hard-to-catch nature is its special ability to escape the grab of the Mosasaurus! But be reminded that Ichthyovenator will not always flee its foes. Sometimes it will take them head-on. With its fast attack speed, the Ichthyovenator can take on threats its size, including the Megalosaurus.

Abilities

• Primary attack: A simple bite. It inflicts low damage and has a moderate attack speed.

• Secondary Attack: Two different attacks depending on if the Ichthyovenator is walking or swimming. When on land, it swipes its claws inwards in a clapping motion, dealing identical damage to its primary attack but with significantly better range, especially around its sides. When in water, it darts forwards.

Special Ability: Using the Secondary Attack when trapped inside the jaws of a Mosasaurus will allow the Ichthyovenator to struggle out of it, though it costs a high amount of ability power and injures the Ichthyovenator in the process.

Unique Attribute: The Ichthyovenator can detect fish by using its scent key. It will highlight all nearby fish, making them much easier to spot.

Weakness

The Ichthyovenator has its predators. In the water, a Kronosaurus may be able to swiftly ambush it before it even has a chance to react, and on land, it faces danger from the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Acrocanthosaurus, both of which are faster runners than the Ichthyovenator. Additionally, the Lurdusaurus can pose a threat to the Ichthyovenator, as it can chase it in the water and pummel it down with powerful attacks if it desires to do so.
