Overview

The Mosasaurus is a playable aquatic creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is an incredibly powerful and mobile predator capable of leaping out of the water to reach its prey, then locking it tight between its jaws before violently thrashing it into the water, dragging it down into the ocean depths in order to drown it and thus kill it.

The Mosasaurus is able to grab almost any creature its size, and can further bolster its grabbing capability through the use of talents. Due to this sheer size range of creatures it can grab, combined with the nearly impossible chance of escaping its locked jaws, the Mosasaurus has been well-received as one of the most feared creatures in the game, its power only rivalled by the Kronosaurus.

Abilities

• Bite
  • Default: LMB (Left Mouse Button)
  • A powerful bites, inflicting high damage and moderate injury.

• Dart
  • Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
  • A burst of speed that allows the user to briefly rocket forwards, inflicting damage to any creature it comes into contact with during the duration of the charge. Costs a large amount of ability power and stamina. Can be used to struggle out of the grab of a larger Mosasaurus, at the cost of self-inflicted damage and injury.

• Grab and Thrash
  • Default: Z (Ability Key), followed by LMB (Left Mouse Button)
  • Hold the ability key within a short distance of another creature to snatch it within the Mosasaurus' jaws, then repeatedly press the Primary Attack key to thrash the captured victim, inflicting damage. This attack can be used continuously, as long as the Mosasaurus has sufficient ability power, which will consistently decrease as the victim is held. The larger the creature grabbed, the more ability power is required to hold and thrash.

Weakness

• If beached, the Mosasaurus may become hepless. Take extra care near the edge of land.

• The Mosasaurus faces constant threat from the Kronosaurus, which is capable of crippling the Mosasaurus with a well-aimed lunge and finishing it off with powerful bites. However, young Kronosaurus fall prey to an adult Mosasaurus.

• Humorously, the Mosasaurus often fails to hunt the Lurdusaurus, which can chase after a Mosasaurus and cripple it with constant hits.

Trivia

• The Mosasaurus is capable of grabbing any creature as long as it's big enough. Even Apatosaurus are sometimes grabbed.

• While the Kronosaurus is adept at hunting other aquatic creatures, Mosasaurus relies mostly on terrestrial prey.
