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 creatures up to the size of a Tyrannosaurus rex, and is also capable of grabbing other aquatic creatures too. 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.


Its biggest rival is the Kronosaurus, who is also an extremely deadly aquatic predator that competes for the same food source.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

+ Top tier aquatic predator

+ Excellent damage

+ High health

+ Can grab other creatures


Cons:

- Slow

- Can die from beaching

- Requires a lot of time to grow _________________________________________________________

Abilities

  • Primary Attack: The Mosasaurus lets out a powerful bite. When fully grown, each bite depletes 8.5 ability power and deals 140 health damage in return.
  • Secondary Attack: A long-range dash attack that causes the Mosasaurus to rocket forwards at incredible speeds, inflicting 140 health damage to any creature it rams into. It can also use this dash to jump out of the water.

This attack requires 48 ability power and 32 stamina for an adult Mosasaurus to perform. This is a very large consumption of ability power, so be mindful.


Special Ability: The Mosasaurus grabs a creature by locking them in its powerful jaws. When holding the ability key within a short distance of a creature (default ability keybind is Z), the Mosasaurus' next attack will snatch that creature in its jaws at the cost of 15 ability power. Upon pressing the primary attack key, the Mosasaurus will thrash the victim around, dealing 163.1 health damage (in 7 bursts of 23.3.) Holding the primary attack key will instead cause the Mosausaurs to continuously thrash every second. The Mosasaurus can continue thrashing for as long as it has ability power, which will consistently decrease as the victim is held. The Mosasaurus' ability power will decrease significantly faster if it is thrashing a large creature.

Weakness

With the simple mistake of beaching itself, the Mosasaurus can suddenly turn from threatening to harmless. While on land, its diminutive flippers do little to scoot its massive body forwards, causing it to move and turn at a painfully slow rate. Comfort constantly decreases at this state and predators can easily kill it, so it must get back to the water as soon as possible or it will inevitably die.
