The Icthyovenator is a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivore]], and is able to easily catch [[Fish|fish]] to sustain its [[Food|hunger]].
+
The Ichthyovenator is a playable [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivorous]] in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a dinosaur that depends heavily on the ocean to keep it alive, as its main food source consists of large quantities [[Fish|fish]]. For this reason, the Ichthyovenator is capable of swimming at very fast speeds, darting through the water in order to snag as much fish as possible before returning to the shores to rest.
  
−
Its [[Primary Attack|primary attack]], both in and out of the water, is a simple [[Bite|bite]]. It inflicts moderate damage and has a moderately quick attack speed.
+
Despite its carnivorous diet and mobility in land and water, it's not as ferocious as one might think. It possesses low health and low damage, so it only poses as a threat to smaller creatures - but its low combat utility is counterbalanced by its incredible elusiveness. The Ichthyovenator is very difficult for any predator to catch, since it can dive into the water when chased by larger terrestrial creatures such as [[Megalosaurus]], and scramble back onto the shoreline when approached by deep-sea threats such as the [[Kronosaurus]]. The Ichthyovenator can even slip free from the grab of a [[Mosasaurus]]! With so much evasive power, the Ichthyovenator can stay safe even in the most threatening shorelines.
  
−
Out of the water, its [[Secondary Attack|secondary attack]] is a claw swipe, dealing identical damage to that of its primary attack, but along its claws such that it can more easily hit raptors or other smaller creatures that are directly in front of and below its jaw.

Unique Abilities: In the water, its secondary attack becomes a [[Darting|dart]]. Darting allows the Ichthyovenator significant aquatic mobility in a unique way not granted to the [[Mosasaurus]] or [[Elasmosaurus]]. It can, for the cost of [[Stamina|stamina]] and [[Ability|ability power]], propel itself with a powerful thrust through the water. While darting, its jaw will open, allowing it to more easily catch and consume fish. If fish are successfully caught, the Ichthyovenator will be returned some of the ability power consumed on the use of the dart, allowing it to easily sustain rapid and continuous fishing should it be successful with aim.

While grabbed by a creature such as the [[Mosasaurus]], the Iththyovenator can [[Struggling|struggle]], evading the jaws of death at the cost of significant ability power, stamina, [[Health|HP]], and infliction of severe [[Injury|injury]].  The price may be high, but a Mosasaurus can [[Thrash Damage|thrash]] the Ichthyovenator to death in one grab, so any price is better than [[Death|death]].  The intent is that a player can use this ability to escape a grab and scamper to shore.  If, however, one is caught too far away from the shoreline, the exhausted and injured Ichthyovenator will be caught once again by the Mosasaurus rather easily.

Other facts: The Icthyovenator is currently the only semi-aquatic carnivore. This gives it a massive advantage over other carnivores, giving it access to an entirely new food source: fish. Being semi-aquatic also allows the Icthyovenator to be flexible, able to migrate from land to sea or between islands to evade both land and sea predators. It is rather slow on the land, being a bit slower than the [[Acrocanthosaurus]].

Overview

For this reason, the Ichthyovenator is capable of swimming at very fast speeds, darting through the water in order to snag as much fish as possible before returning to the shores to rest.

The Ichthyovenator is very difficult for any predator to catch, since it can dive into the water when chased by larger terrestrial creatures such as Megalosaurus, and scramble back onto the shoreline when approached by deep-sea threats such as the Kronosaurus.

Weakness

The Elasmosaurus is rather fragile, having relatively low HP for its size. It also starts the game as a very vulnerable creature, and like all aquatic creatures, it can die from beaching itself.

The Elasmosaurus is also susceptible to being preyed upon by the Mosasaurus and the Kronosaurus. However, The Elasmosaurus is faster and has more stamina than the two, allowing it to dodge their attacks and, if needed, defend itself by retaliating back. Nonetheless, the Elasmosaurus is better off escaping, as one bite from a large predator can be an immediate death sentence for it.

Additional Notes

Other facts: The Ichthyovenator is currently the only semi-aquatic carnivore. This gives it a massive advantage over other carnivores, giving it access to an entirely new food source: fish. Being semi-aquatic also allows the Ichthyovenator to be flexible, able to migrate from land to sea or between islands to evade both land and sea predators. It is rather slow on the land, being a bit slower than the Acrocanthosaurus.
