Overview
The Lurdusaurus is a playable herbivore in Beasts of Bermuda. Despite a herbivore, it cannot properly digest the foliage found on land. In fact, it gets food poisoning from doing so! Instead, the Lurdusaurus is a semiaquatic and must submerge itself in large bodies of water to locate and consume aquatic plants, which mostly consists of a variety of seaweeds.
Since it can move on both land and water, the Lurdusaurus can escape from terrestrial predators by plunging into the water, or flee from aquatics by climbing back onto land. However, running from predators is never its only option, as the Lurdusaurus is quite strong. It can severely injure its foes by striking them with its spiky feet protrusions, as well as a powerful stomp that can inflict massive amounts of injury. As such, the Lurdusaurus is an excellent choice for players who seek a defensive herbivore that can travel throughout the map's oceans with ease.

Abilities
- Primary Attack: The Lurdusaurus jabs its foot spike forward. It deals high damage and has a slightly slow attack speed.
- Secondary Attack: Two different attacks depending on if the Lurdusaurus is walking or swimming. When on land, it performs a stomp attack by raising up its front feet and slamming them back down, dealing huge damage, but should be used with caution due to its large delay time. When in water, it darts forwards, instantly damaging creatures along the way.
Special Ability: Using the Secondary Attack when trapped inside the jaws of a Mosasaurus will allow the Lurdusaurus to struggle out of it, though it costs a high amount of ability power and injures the Lurdusaurus in the process.

Weakness
The Lurdusaurus has to eat quite frequently, meaning it will have to enter the water a lot. Though its sheer power lets it nearly go toe-to-toe against the Mosasaurus, it is not strong enough to defend itself from the Kronosaurus. Another problem with this frequent eating is that a herd of Lurdusaurus will quickly consume entire patches of aquatic plants, which will force them to be on the move for new areas, leaving the water and onto land, where large, hard-hitting predators such as the Tyrannosaurus rex roam.

Additional Notes
- For some humorous reason, the Lurdusaurus was once perfectly capable of eating fish. This is most likely unintended.
- During the first day of the Lurdusaurus's release, the model was bugged. Its head and feet were covered in red-lined spheres left over from the animation software.
- Lurdusaurus will be getting a remodel in the near future.
