The Apatosaurus is a playable [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivorous]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as the [[Size|largest]] playable creature.
 
  
Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus must consume at a very frequent rate. Fortunately, it's not a picky eater: Its diet consists of almost any kind of plant, and it can even consume trees as an adult. It also must drink copious amounts of water, and this sometimes causes it to sip entire ponds dry!
 
  
Thanks to its immense bulk, the Apatosaurus has superb resistance to harsh weather and boasts the highest amount of [[Health|HP]] in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback and [[Damage|damage]], making it '''VERY''' hard to for any predator to kill. This effectively discourages almost every predator from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed adult life.

* '''Neck Swipe'''

** A fast and powerful tail whip attack, dealing high [[damage|damage]] with little [[Ability|ability power]] cost.

- Is somewhat vulnerable when young
+
* The Apatosaurus' strongest attack is its Neck Swing. It can deal large amounts of damage that can be boosted by both brawler and earthbreaker. However, it may be better to utilise the apatosaurus’ Kick and Tail whip as the Neck Swing locks you into position, open to be attacked. A good combo is to cripple the opposing dinosaur with your Kick and follow up with the Neck Swing as it is unable to escape, or Tail whip to stay safe.
  
- Requires a lot of time to grow
+
* Standing in deep water with your body just above the surface is a good defensive position, as it forces opponents to enter the water to attack.
  
- Leaves a large and easily detectable trail of smell
+
* The Apatosaurus's tail whip attack can be very effective for attacking or defending against any hidden [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic creatures]] that may be lurking in a lake. Simply walk backward into a lake and snap your tail to see if you can hit any hidden predators that may be lurking just below.
  
- Can do very little against groups of carnivores

*'''[[Secondary Attack|Secondary Attack]]:''' A tail whip attack, which is much more reliable than its stomp attack. This attack should be the primary means of defense for the Apatosaurus. Hold Rick Click to coil up the Apatosaurus' tail. When released, the tail will shoot forwards and crack like a whip, dealing great damage and heavy [[Knockback|knockback]] to anything it hits. ''Keep in mind that for every second the tail is coiled up, ability power is drained, so don't hold it on for too long or you might end up draining too much ability power!''

'''Unique Attribute #1:''' The Apatosaurus possesses the highest [[Weather Resistance|weather resistance]] of any [[Terrestrial Creatures|terrestrial]] creature.

'''Unique Attribute #3:''' The Apatosaurus is capable of walking backwards. This is to prevent attackers from hiding under its hind legs, which are not in range of the whip attack. Walking backwards will cause them to be knocked back and into the range of the whip attack. In order to walk backwards, a player must toggle the crouch [[Keybind|keybind]].
 
 
_________________________________________________________
 
 
=== Weakness ===
 
 
The Apatosaurus's huge size causes it to walk at a lumbering pace. It is in fact the slowest creature in the game, and most creatures are able to out-speed it simply by walking. Thus, fast creatures can give it a hard time by performing hit-and-run tactics on it. A [[Utahraptor]] pack is able to pull this off quite decently.
 
 
Additionally, large carnivores such as the [[Acrocanthosaurus]] can inflict serious bleed damage to an Apatosaurus, as well as survive multiple tail whip attacks, making it a threat to the Apatosaurus.
 
 
Their primary physical weakness is their neck. This can be attacked easily if held out in front of them, allowing predators an easy bite without risking the stomp attack. Apatosaurus may counter this by holding the "Alt" key to raise its head to the degree it desires-all other creatures can actually do this as well.
 
 
Despite this, the Apatosaurus still remains a very dangerous creature to fight, and it is not uncommon to see an Apatosaurus completely overwhelm its opponent.
 
 
Apatosaurus, when being attacked by groups of 2-3 carnivores, is almost completely powerless. Use pack tactics to your advantage and know their weak spots.

Overview

The Apatosaurus is a playable herbivorous creature in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as the largest playable creature. Being big, however, requires a big appetite, and so the Apatosaurus must consume at a very frequent rate. Fortunately, it's not a picky eater: Its diet consists of almost any kind of plant, and it can even consume trees as an adult. It also must drink copious amounts of water, and this sometimes causes it to sip entire ponds dry!

Thanks to its immense bulk, the Apatosaurus has superb resistance to harsh weather and boasts the highest amount of HP in the game, as well as being able to attack from any angle with incredible knockback and damage, making it very difficult to for any predator to kill. This discourages many predators from attacking it in the first place, letting the Apatosaurus live a generally peaceful and undisturbed adult life... if it can reach adulthood, that is.

Abilities

Unique Attributes: The Apatosaurus can deal knockback to creatures simply by walking into them. Additionally, it can walk backwards by crouching.

  • Neck Swipe
    • Default: Z (Ability Key)
    • A neck swipe that damages anything in front of it. Costs a moderate amount of ability power. The speed of the attack can be increased with points into Earthbreaker
  • Tail Whip

    • A fast and powerful tail whip attack, dealing high damage with little ability power cost. Press the attack once to instantly whip in a direction, or hold the attack to coil up the Apatosaurus' tail, which has better accuracy when released.

Survival Tips

  • Carefully manage your ability power during fights. Enemies will often attempt to waste away the Apatosaurus' ability power by faking an attack.
  • The Apatosaurus' strongest attack is its Neck Swing. It can deal large amounts of damage that can be boosted by both brawler and earthbreaker. However, it may be better to utilise the apatosaurus’ Kick and Tail whip as the Neck Swing locks you into position, open to be attacked. A good combo is to cripple the opposing dinosaur with your Kick and follow up with the Neck Swing as it is unable to escape, or Tail whip to stay safe.
