Overview

Tropeognathus is a large pterosaur, specializing in defensive play. A creature with an 8-meter-long wingspan, it almost seems as if such a monster should hardly be able to get airborne. It grows at the speed of Megalosaurus, and with several unique mechanics to assert its dominance, Tropeognathus is sure to be a rival to any lightning-quick Pteranodon that may try to challenge it! Despite the imposing stature, its diet consists mainly of fish.


Tropeognathus Mechanics

Abilities

Wing Beat

  • To use Wing Beat, press the Ability key while facing another player (it can’t hit behind you)
  • It can be used while in flight, or while on the ground
  • If it hits another player, both you and them will be knocked back. It deals significant injury and moderate damage to the hit player
  • Just like Spiky Shield, successive uses of Wing Beat now get 35% more expensive until its DR wears off, after 30 seconds. This will also reduce the damage and knockback
  • It is improved by the Deadly Wings talent

Master of the Skies

  • Baseline weather resistance is equivalent to 3/3

Unique Talents

Strong Bond

  • This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, as a survival Tier 3 talent.
  • 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

Deadly Wings

  • This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, on the bridge between the Power and Survival trees
  • This talent improves how much damage and injury Wing Beat inflicts

Swift Wings

  • This talent is only in the Tropeognathus tree, on the bridge between Mobility and Survival
  • This talent reduces the cooldown, ability, and stamina cost of using Wing Beat

Tips

  • It costs stamina to take off from the water, so make sure you have enough! This can be made less costly with the Improved Takeoff talent.
  • You can grab creatures and items of fairly large size when flying- use this to your advantage! *You’re better at this than ptera, so you can grab smaller pterosaurs out of the sky if they’re of the right size.
  • If a Pteranodon attacks, you don’t need to chase them, let them come to you. If a flock descends on you however, then you might have an issue!
  • You turn pretty slowly in the air. Be sure to always angle yourself towards incoming Pteranodon to use Wing Beat.
  • It takes a little while to begin diving, bear this in mind when trying to evade.


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 can carry two creatures at once.
