Tropeognathus is the second [[Flying Creatures|flying creature]] to be confirmed, after [[Pteranodon]]. The money for Tropeognathus was donated by TurboTurkey.

==Overview==
 +
The Tropeognathus is a playable [[Flying Creatures|pterosaur]] in Beasts of Bermuda. Though a flyer, the Tropeognathus is a resilient creature, capable of flying through storms without much difficulty and even boasting a surprising amount of health for its size, able to survive a few heavy hits. Using this bulk, it can easily slay the island's smaller creatures, such as the [[Oryctodromeus]] and [[Velociraptor]], as well as injure larger creatures with a bone-breaking wingbeat attack. it is also known to not have udders.
  
Not much is know yet about this animal in terms of function in Beasts of Bermuda. However, the following developer quote has been said about the animal.

==Tropeognathus Mechanics==
  
As the largest and most powerful of the [[fish]] eating Pterosaurs in Beasts of Bermuda, Tropeognathus is able to use its huge wingspan to stay airborne for long periods of time, even during all but the harshest of [[Weather|storms]]. Its large wings also allow it to be a very effective [[Swimming|swimmer]] and can repel and even [[Injury|injure]] other fliers who come too close, but this [[size]] comes at a cost; it requires a large amount of [[stamina]] to take off, especially from the water, and is slow and ungainly on the land. As a [[Piscivorous Creatures|piscivore]], it is unsuited to combat and inflicts very little [[damage]]. Tropeognathus also benefits from being in a mated pair much like an albatross or bald eagle, gaining a mild boost to a few important stats when in proximity. It will be the 'king of the skies'.

Overview

The Tropeognathus is a playable pterosaur in Beasts of Bermuda. Though a flyer, the Tropeognathus is a resilient creature, capable of flying through storms without much difficulty and even boasting a surprising amount of health for its size, able to survive a few heavy hits.

  • While grouped and close to your mate, you and your mate both receive a large boost to your max HP, Stamina, and Ability
  • If both the mated Tropeognathus have the talent, it stacks additively between the two
  • It increases with the (in-game) friendship level between you

Swift Wings

  • This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, on the bridge between Mobility and Survival.
  • This talent reduces the ability, and stamina cost of using Wing Beat, as well as increasing the speed buff you get when successfully landing a Wing Beat on an airborne target.

Tips

  • It costs stamina to take off from the water, so make sure you have enough! This can be made less costly with the Quick Takeoff Talent.
  • If a Pteranodon attacks, make sure to always be above them! After all, battling in the skies is a matter of who has the high ground.

Trivia

  • Tropeognathus was originally going to be 150% as big, with a 12 meter wingspan!
  • The Strong Bond talent was inspired by mated albatross pairs.
  • Tropeognathus was going to be able to carry two creatures at once, but the idea was scrapped.
