Overview Tropeognathus is a large pterosaur, specializing in defensive play. A creature with an 8-meter-long wingspan, it almost seems as if such a monster should hardly be able to get airborne. It grows at the speed of Megalosaurus, and with several unique mechanics to assert its dominance, Tropeognathus is sure to be a rival to any lightning-quick Pteranodon that may try to challenge it! Despite the imposing stature, its diet consists mainly of fish.
