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!

This effectively discourages almost every predator 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.

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

* '''Neck Swipe'''
 +
** Default: LMB (Left Mouse Button)
 +
** A neck swipe that damages anything in front of it. Costs a moderate amount of [[Ability|ability power]].
  
*'''[[Primary Attack|Primary Attack]]:''' The Apatosaurus swings its neck in an arc, damaging anything in front of it.

* '''Tail Whip'''
 +
** Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
 +
A fast and powerful tail whip attack, dealing high damage with little [[Ability|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. The [[Ability|ability power]] cost increases overtime if the attack is held down.
  
*'''[[Secondary Attack|Secondary Attack]]:''' A tail whip attack, which covers the back end of the animal. This attack is typically 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. The tail is able to be aimed, by looking in the direction where you want the tail to hit. ''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 #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]].

* 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 backwards into a lake and snap your tail to see if you can hit any hidden predators that may be lurking just below.
 
 
The Apatosaurus's huge size causes it to walk at a lumbering pace. It is in fact the slowest creature in the game, and some creatures are able to out-speed it simply by walking. Thus, fast creatures can give it a hard time by performing rushdown or hit-and-run tactics.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
The Apatosaurus is weakest against large groups of carnivores. 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.
