Paleo Info

Edmontosaurus annectens (meaning "connected lizard from Edmonton"), often colloquially and historically known as Anatosaurus (meaning "duck lizard"), is a species of flat-headed saurolophine hadrosaurid dinosaur from the late Maastrichtian age at the very end of the Cretaceous period, in what is now western North America. Remains of E. annectens have been preserved in the Frenchman, Hell Creek, and Lance Formations. All of these formations are dated to the late Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, which represents the last three million years before the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs (between 68 and 66 million years ago). E. annectens is also found in the Laramie Formation, and magnetostratigraphy suggests an age of 69–68 Ma for the Laramie Formation.

Edmontosaurus annectens is known from numerous specimens, including at least twenty partial to complete skulls, discovered in the U.S. states of Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado, as well as the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It had an extremely long and low skull, and was quite a large animal, growing up to approximately 12 metres (39 ft) in length and 5.6 metric tons (6.2 short tons) in average asymptotic body mass, although it could have been even larger. E. annectens exhibits one of the most striking examples of the "duckbill" snout that is common to hadrosaurs. It has a long taxonomic history, and specimens have at times been classified as Diclonius, Trachodon, Hadrosaurus, Claosaurus, Thespesius, Anatosaurus, and Anatotitan before all being grouped together in Edmontosaurus.

Survival Tips

An absolute behemoth, Edmontosaurus Annectens is a 6-slot giant that deals an immense amount of damage with its attacks. It is not the most tanky or is it the fastest but it can swim well and deal powerful damage in a very short amount of time.

Its playstyle is best to mix offense and defense respectively. If you are facing multiple opponents you can always kite them with your kicks and your tail attack, sending them flying away with your powerful knockback. You can lure creatures in front of you and bone break them with your stomp attack and then follow through by moving into them and stomping again repeatedly until they die.

You can easily use your bite attack to chomp into anything that dares come close to your head, the bite alone will do significant damage thanks to your massive size.
