Overview
The Tropeognathus is a playable pterosaur in Beasts of Bermuda. Though a flyer, the Tropeognathus is a resilient creature, capable of flying through storms without much difficulty and even boasting a surprising amount of health for its size, able to survive a few heavy hits. Using this bulk, it can easily slay the island's smaller creatures, such as the Oryctodromeus and Velociraptor, as well as injure larger creatures with a bone-breaking wingbeat attack.
Tropeognathus Mechanics
Wing Beat
- To use Wing Beat, press the ability key while facing another player (it can’t hit behind you)
- It can be used while in flight, or while on the ground.
- If it hits another player, both you and them will be knocked back. It deals significant injury and moderate damage to the hit player.
- Just like Spiky Shield, successive uses of Wing Beat now get 35% more expensive until its DR wears off, after 30 seconds. This will also reduce the damage and knockback.
- It is improved by the Deadly Wings talent.
Master of the Skies
- Baseline weather resistance is equivalent to 3/3
- Doesn't grant immunity to lightning strikes
Unique Talents
Strong Bond
- This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, as a survival Tier 3 talent.
- While grouped and close to your mate, you and your mate both receive a large boost to your max HP, Stamina, and Ability
- 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 improves how much damage and injury Wing Beat inflicts.
Swift Wings
- This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, on the bridge between Mobility and Survival.
- 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 Quick Takeoff Talent.
- If a Pteranodon attacks, make sure to always be above them! After all, battling in the skies is a matter of who has the high ground.
- 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.
- Make sure not to let Pteranodons come behind you they can bite and slowly kill you!
Trivia
- Tropeognathus was originally going to be 150% as big, with a 12 meter wingspan!
- The Strong Bond talent was inspired by mated albatross pairs.
- Tropeognathus was going to be able to carry two creatures at once, but the idea was scrapped.
