The Mosasaurus is the first fully aquatic creature to be added to Beasts of Bermuda. It is an oceanic apex predator, able to drown its prey by dragging them into the abyss of the ocean.

The Mosasaurus is a playable [[Aquatic Creatures|aquatic]] creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is an incredibly powerful and mobile predator capable of leaping out of the water to reach its prey, then locking it tight between its jaws before violently thrashing it into the water, dragging it down into the ocean depths in order to drown it and thus kill it.
The Mosasaurus is also capable of swimming up waterways and through underwater cave systems to access waterholes and ponds that terrestrial creatures frequently drink from, allowing it to surprise its prey in other locations too!
 
  
It is currently the largest ''(length-wise)'' aquatic creature in the game and quite possibly the deadliest predator in Beasts of Bermuda - but don't overestimate its power. It can get stuck on land from a misjudged jump or a suddenly receding tide... and a stranded Mosasaurus is almost always dead a Mosasaurus.

The Mosasaurus is able to grab almost any creature its size, and can further bolster its grabbing capability through the use of [[Talents|talents]]. Due to this sheer size range of creatures it can grab, combined with the nearly impossible chance of escaping its locked jaws, the Mosasaurus has been well-received as one of the most feared creatures in the game, only rivaled by the [[Kronosaurus]].

Overview

The Mosasaurus is a playable aquatic creature in Beasts of Bermuda. It is an incredibly powerful and mobile predator capable of leaping out of the water to reach its prey, then locking it tight between its jaws before violently thrashing it into the water, dragging it down into the ocean depths in order to drown it and thus kill it.

The Mosasaurus is able to grab almost any creature its size, and can further bolster its grabbing capability through the use of talents. Due to this sheer size range of creatures it can grab, combined with the nearly impossible chance of escaping its locked jaws, the Mosasaurus has been well-received as one of the most feared creatures in the game, only rivaled by the Kronosaurus.

Cons:

- Slow

- Can die from beaching

- Requires a lot of time to grow

Abilities

  • Secondary Attack: A long-range dart attack, similar to Ichthyovenator's, that causes the Mosasaurus to rocket forwards, inflicting damage to any creature it comes into contact with during the duration of the charge. Young Mosasaurus may have trouble performing this attack due to its high ability power and stamina cost.


Special Ability: The Mosasaurus can grab a smaller creature. While holding the ability key within a short distance of a creature (default ability keybind is Z), the Mosasaurus will snatch that creature in its jaws. Upon pressing the Primary Attack key, the Mosasaurus will thrash the held victim, inflicting damage. This thrash attack can be used continuously, as long as the Mosasaurus has sufficient ability power, which will consistently decrease as the victim is held. The larger the creature grabbed, the more ability power is required to hold and thrash.

Weakness

With the simple mistake of beaching itself, the Mosasaurus can suddenly turn from threatening to harmless. While on land, its overall mobility completely plummets, causing it to move and turn at an embarassingly slow rate. Comfort constantly decreases at this state and terrestrial predators can easily kill it, so it must get back to the water as soon as possible or it will inevitably die.

The Mosasaurus also faces constant threat from the Kronosaurus, who is capable of killing the Mosasaurus with ease.

Additional Notes

  • While the Kronosaurus is adept at hunting other aquatic creatures, Mosasaurus relies mostly on terrestrial prey.
