== Overview ==
 +
The Oryctodromeus is a playable [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivore]] in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as one of the smallest playable creatures. It is an agile but frail creature that can [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] to create expansive and elaborate tunnel networks. A group of Oryctodromeus are capable of creating gargantuan caverns in a short amount of time.
  
```Note: Oryctodromeus is currently not playable due to issues with its main mechanic.```
+
Being at the bottom of the food chain, it often dies to larger creatures in one or two hits. But with access to some of the best terrestrial agility in the game (up next to [[Pachycephalosaurus]] and [[Velociraptor]]) and a blinding sand attack, it can be surprisingly difficult to catch.
  
 +
== Abilities ==
 +
* '''Peck'''
 +
** Default: LMB (Left Mouse Button)
 +
** A high DPS peck attack that deals a small amount of damage.
  
The Oryctodromeus is currently the smallest [[Herbivorous_Creatures|herbivore]] confirmed for the game. The money for Oryctodromeus was donated by Mexymii. The small animals are virtually defenseless to any of the predators in the game and rely on fleeing and hiding in burrows which they [[Digging Mechanic and Burrows|dig]]. These burrows are able to be expanded and connected by the individuals in a colony, creating a tunnel system below ground with which they can safely move.
+
* '''Sand Attack'''
 +
** Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
 +
** An attack that kicks sand up into your opponent’s eyes to blind them, disable their jump, and slow their sprint speed by 40% for the duration of the effect. This also disables [[flight]] for [[Flying Creatures|pterosaurs]].  
 +
** This attack has a diminishing return, lasting 50% its normal duration on the second Sand Attack, and 25% its normal duration on the third. After three Sand Attacks in a row, the target is immune to the effect for 18 seconds.
  
Each individual Oryctodromeus will be able to dig two exit holes, allowing for a series of bolt holes to which the colony can flee, moving underground to exit someplace else away from whatever was threatening them. Smaller animals, such as juvenile dinosaurs and the [[Velociraptor]] are able to enter these burrows, however, making the Velociraptor the main predator of the Oryctodromeus by being able to flush them out wherever they may try to hide.
+
* '''Burrowing'''
 +
** Default: Z
 +
** Allows you to create a [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrance. Burrow entrances cannot be created too close to [[Ocean|sea level]], too close to a [[Freshwater_Lakes|water source]], or in rocks/[[caves]]. You can dig out tunnel nodes by right clicking, and replace dirt by left clicking. By default, 1x1 burrows can only fit juvenile creatures, other Oryctodromeus, and adult [[Velociraptor|Velociraptors]]. However, you can expand your burrows to fit larger adult creatures.
 +
** While [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrowing]], you may dig up various edible items and decorations. You can even farm edible items, if you wish.
 +
** Your tunnels can be connected with other Oryctos' entrances and tunnels, allowing for some extremely advanced [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] structures.
 +
** [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|Burrows]] are entirely [[weather]]-proof, save for floods. If the water rises to meet your tunnels, you will be safely teleported to your most recently used burrow exit.
 +
** Active [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrances can be [[Scent_System|scented]] and identified by their small plumes of purple smoke. An active burrow is one that's been used within the last 8 minutes.
 +
** [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|Burrows]] will completely despawn after 72 hours of inactivity. To reset this timer, any Orycto must dig out a tunnel node inside the burrow.
 +
** If your tunnels are completely blocked off from any [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrances, you will receive a massive [[Status Effects|comfort debuff]] (Stale Air) from the lack of oxygen circulation.
  
Burrows must be maintained by a colony to prevent them collapsing, meaning only Oryctodromeus can utilize their burrows as long term shelter from [[Weather|weather]] and [[Carnivorous_Creatures|predators]].
+
== Survival Tips ==
 +
* Oryctodromeus must leave their [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrows]] for water and food. Investing in making farms is a good idea which can include cucumber farms, salt farms and potato farms. These will allow the Oryctodromeus to stay in their burrow for longer periods of time. Cucumbers provide water saturation, Salt helps balance your diet and potatoes provide food.
 +
* A single Oryctodromeus can create 2 [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrow]] entrances by default. Hide one of your burrow entrances under the cover of foliage and save it for emergencies.
 +
* Oryctodromeus is somewhat slow, but it also has some of the best agility. Use this to your advantage by outmaneuvering your opponents. If you're being chased, don't run away in a straight line.
 +
* Oryctodromeus is significantly stronger inside of its [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrows]]. Creatures that are not Orycto will have their damage cut down by 50% while underground. They will also suffer a large [[comfort]] debuff from Claustrophobia.
 +
* Creating your [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrows]] on high ground may prevent [[Weather|storms]] from flooding you out.
 +
* Oryctodromeus has the combat [[Talents|talent]] [[Talents#Sharp_Teeth|“Sharp Teeth”]], making it a possible threat to large creatures.
 +
* Never try to cross an ocean. You ''will'' die, if not to an aquatic, then some random Pteranodon.
  
Unique Ability: The Oryctodromeus is able to dig burrows.  
+
== Trivia ==
 +
* Oryctodromeus is a donor creature, and is one of the longest awaited confirmed creatures.
 +
* Oryctodromeus was originally considered for having a feathered and scaly customization option, but this idea was later scrapped in favor of a scaly model with quills.
 +
* One of the lead developers (Predatoria) has confirmed that [[Digging_Mechanic_and_Burrows|burrowing]] is ''the'' most complex [[Mechanics|mechanic]] in the entire game, along with being the most difficult codework he's ever done. Burrowing and Oryctodromeus were finally completed and released after nearly two years of work on August 10th, 2020.
 +
* Much like [[Apatosaurus]], [[Saichania]], and [[Velociraptor]], Orycto is completely immune to [[injury]] damage.
 +
* Oryctodromeus's model was created by developer Cαllie.
 +
* Orycto has had a total of '''1''' model update. (From the old model by Manuelsaurus to Cαllie's current model.)
  
Other Facts: By digging burrows, the Oryctodromeus is able to avoid being eaten by large predators. Large numbers of Oryctodromeus can eat, breed, and raise young inside an interconnected series of burrows. They are even flood and tornado proof and allow the Oryctodromeus to access areas other animals cannot.

Overview

The Oryctodromeus is a playable herbivore in Beasts of Bermuda, as well as one of the smallest playable creatures. It is an agile but frail creature that can burrow to create expansive and elaborate tunnel networks. A group of Oryctodromeus are capable of creating gargantuan caverns in a short amount of time.

Being at the bottom of the food chain, it often dies to larger creatures in one or two hits. But with access to some of the best terrestrial agility in the game (up next to Pachycephalosaurus and Velociraptor) and a blinding sand attack, it can be surprisingly difficult to catch.

Abilities

  • Peck
    • Default: LMB (Left Mouse Button)
    • A high DPS peck attack that deals a small amount of damage.
  • Sand Attack
    • Default: RMB (Right Mouse Button)
    • An attack that kicks sand up into your opponent’s eyes to blind them, disable their jump, and slow their sprint speed by 40% for the duration of the effect. This also disables flight for pterosaurs.
    • This attack has a diminishing return, lasting 50% its normal duration on the second Sand Attack, and 25% its normal duration on the third. After three Sand Attacks in a row, the target is immune to the effect for 18 seconds.
  • Burrowing
    • Default: Z
    • Allows you to create a burrow entrance. Burrow entrances cannot be created too close to sea level, too close to a water source, or in rocks/caves. You can dig out tunnel nodes by right clicking, and replace dirt by left clicking. By default, 1x1 burrows can only fit juvenile creatures, other Oryctodromeus, and adult Velociraptors. However, you can expand your burrows to fit larger adult creatures.
    • While burrowing, you may dig up various edible items and decorations. You can even farm edible items, if you wish.
    • Your tunnels can be connected with other Oryctos' entrances and tunnels, allowing for some extremely advanced burrow structures.
    • Burrows are entirely weather-proof, save for floods. If the water rises to meet your tunnels, you will be safely teleported to your most recently used burrow exit.
    • Active burrow entrances can be scented and identified by their small plumes of purple smoke. An active burrow is one that's been used within the last 8 minutes.
    • Burrows will completely despawn after 72 hours of inactivity. To reset this timer, any Orycto must dig out a tunnel node inside the burrow.
    • If your tunnels are completely blocked off from any burrow entrances, you will receive a massive comfort debuff (Stale Air) from the lack of oxygen circulation.

  • Creating your burrows on high ground may prevent storms from flooding you out.
  • Oryctodromeus has the combat talent “Sharp Teeth”, making it a possible threat to large creatures.
  • Never try to cross an ocean. You will die, if not to an aquatic, then some random Pteranodon.
