Tropeognathus is the second [[Flying Creatures|flying creature]] to be confirmed, after [[Pteranodon]].  
+
'''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.
  
Not much is know yet about this animal in terms of function in Beasts of Bermuda. However, the following developer quote has been said about the animal.
 
  
As the largest and most powerful of the [[fish]] eating Pterosaurs in Beasts of Bermuda, Tropeognathus is able to use its huge wingspan to stay airborne for long periods of time, even during all but the harshest of [[Weather|storms]]. Its large wings also allow it to be a very effective [[Swimming|swimmer]] and can repel and even [[Injury|injure]] other fliers who come too close, but this [[size]] comes at a cost; it requires a large amount of [[stamina]] to take off, especially from the water, and is slow and ungainly on the land. As a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivore]], it is unsuited to combat and inflicts very little [[damage]]. Tropeognathus also benefits from being in a mated pair much like an albatross or bald eagle, gaining a mild boost to a few important stats when in proximity. It will be the 'king of the skies'.

    -If both the mated Tropeognathus have the talent, it stacks additively between the two
 +
    -It increases with the (in-game) friendship level between you
 +
Deadly Wings
 +
    -This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, on the bridge between the Power and Survival trees

    -This talent reduces the cooldown, ability, and stamina cost of using Wing Beat

 +
'''Tips:'''
 +
    -It costs stamina to take off from the water, so make sure you have enough! This can be made less costly with the Improved Takeoff talent.
 +
    -You can grab creatures and items of fairly large size when flying- use this to your advantage! You’re better at this than ptera, so you can grab smaller pterosaurs out of the sky if they’re of the right size.
 +
    -If a Pterandon attacks, you don’t need to chase them, let them come to you. If a flock descends on you however, then you might have an issue!
 +
    -You turn pretty slowly in the air. Be sure to always angle yourself towards incoming Pteranodon to use Wing Beat.
 +
    -It takes a little while to begin diving, bear this in mind when trying to evade.
