The Apatosaurus is the [[Size|largest]] animal in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a [[Herbivorous Creatures|herbivore]], surviving solely off the consumption of [[Foliage System|plants]] to satiate its [[Food|hunger]].  It has the biggest belly of any animal in the game, being able to survive well over an hour without eating if it needs to. This big belly, however, is also difficult to fill and requires consumption of significant amounts of foliage. The Apatosaurus is the most difficult creature to become [[Weight Gain|overweight]].  It can also survive significant amounts of time without [[Freshwater Lakes|water]], but when it does [[Thirst|drink]], it will very rapidly deplete any lake it is drinking from, thus the Apatosaurus can be a very effective animal for deliberately [[Beaching|beaching]] any [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic creatures]] taking an ambush position in a lake.  It's [[Size|size]] stat is also tremendously large, and it has the highest [[Health|HP]], but it is also the slowest animal in the game.  It is the only animal in the game to possess the ability to destroy and consume class 5 foliage such as large trees.

Overview

The Apatosaurus is the largest animal in Beasts of Bermuda. It's so big that nearby creatures will get knocked away by its footsteps.

Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus has the biggest belly of any creature in the game. Its diet consists of almost any kind of plant, including trees, and its thirst sometimes causes it to sip entire ponds straight up dry! Once satisfied, the Apatosaurus doesn't have to eat or drink for a very, very long time.

Alongside this, the Apatosaurus has a natural resistances to the effects of harsh weather. For instance, the Apatosaurus can't be picked up by a tornado! Furthermore, it also grants nearby herbivores some if its weather resistance too, making the Apatosaurus an excellent creature for saving the lives of others caught in a storm.

Lastly, The Apatosaurus boasts the highest amount of HP and damage in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback, making it very hard to for any predator to kill. This effectively deters most predators from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed life. ____________________________________________________________________

Abilities

primary attack: A stomp attack. It rears up onto its hind legs momentarily and then stomps with its front limbs. If anything is nearby, it will take a very heavy amount of damage. The only creature capable of surviving this stomp is another Apatosaurus. This attack, however, also can make you vulnerable as movement is not allowed during the stomp attack.

secondary attack: A tail whip attack, much more potent than its stomp. This attack should be the primary means of defense for the Apatosaurus. The execution of this attack is a bit different than others, as the attack is actually initiated when the Secondary Attack Keybind (Default is Right Mouse button) is released, rather than when it is pressed. While the button is held, the Apatosaurus' tail will aim in the direction of the player's camera. When released, the tail will crack like a whip, dealing lots of damage and heavy knockback.

Unique Attribute: The Apatosaurus has THREE Unique Attributes.

Firstly, it possesses the highest weather resistance of any terrestrial creature. It is also capable of granting some of its weather resistance to nearby herd members, an ability unique to it.

Secondly, when the Apatosaurus walks, its huge footsteps knock nearby creatures out of its way.

Thirdly, the Apatosaurus is capable of walking backwards. This is to prevent attackers from hiding under its hind legs, which are not in range of the whip attack. Walking backwards will cause them to be knocked back and into the range of the whip attack. In order to walk backwards, a player must press and hold the crouch keybind.

Additional Notes

The Apatosaurus can be a very effective creature for deliberately beaching any aquatic creatures in a lake.

Implementation of the tail-whip mechanic was not an easy task, and a development blog on the topic was written here.
