The Elasmosaurus is a playable [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. Though it does not possess the high health and damage of the [[Mosasaurus]] or the [[Kronosaurus]], it is much faster than the latter, and its mobility can be used in a variety of situations.

The Elasmosaurus is also susceptible to being preyed upon by the Mosasaurus and the Kronosaurus.

The [[Ichthyovenator]] is currently the deadliest threat to the Elasmosaurus, as the Ichthyovenator's dart speed is similar to that of the Elasmosaurus swimming speed , therefore it can chase it through the ocean over long distances.

Overview

The Elasmosaurus is a playable aquatic creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is a very versatile swimmer, and can utilize its great mobility for a variety of situations.

It is piscivorous, meaning it specializes in eating fish. The Elasmosaurus can consume fish with ease thanks to its very long attack range, as well as its special ability to automatically bite any target within the vicinity of its attack range. Finding fish is not a problem for it either, as it can reveal the location of fish from far away by holding down the scent key.

The Elasmosaurus is the third-fastest creature in the game, only beaten in speed by the Pteranodon and Tropeognathus The Elasmosaurus can use this extreme swimming speed to dodge its opponents and best them in combat with hit-and-run tactics, and it even has the ability to grab and drown flying prey in a similar fashion to the Mosasaurus. In some cases, a group of Elasmosaurus may take down prey as big as a Kronosaurus!
