Quetzalcoatlus (Primordial Tyrants)

Quetzalcoatlus have a large wingspan and are known for their ability to fly high and dive down to catch prey.

Description

Quetzalcoatlus is a large pterosaur with a long neck and beak, shortened non-wing digits that are well adapted for terrestrial locomotion, and a very short tail. They are known for their ability to fly high and dive down to catch prey. They are also known for their large wingspan, which allows them to glide for long distances.

Paleo Info

Quetzalcoatlus is a genus of azhdarchid pterosaur known from the Late Cretaceous Maastrichtian age of North America. The first specimen, recovered in 1971 from the Javelina Formation, consists of several wing fragments. It was made the holotype of Quetzalcoatlus northropi in 1975 by Douglas Lawson and was named after the Aztec serpent god, Quetzalcōātl, and Jack Northrop, designer of tailless fixed-wing aircraft. The remains of a second species were found between 1972 and 1974, also by Lawson, around 40 km (25 mi) from the type of Q. northropi.

Quetzalcoatlus northropi has gained fame as a candidate for the largest flying animal ever discovered, though estimating its size has been difficult due to the fragmentary nature of its type specimen. Wingspan estimates over the years have ranged from 5.2–25.8 m (17–85 ft), though this has more recently been narrowed down to around 10–11 m (33–36 ft), based on extrapolations from more complete azhdarchids. The smaller and more complete Q. lawsoni had a wingspan of around 4.5 m (15 ft). Quetzalcoatlus' proportions were typical of azhdarchids. It possessed a very long neck and beak, shortened non-wing digits that were well adapted for terrestrial locomotion, and a very short tail.

Survival Tips

Your best bet for hunting as Quetzalcoatlus is to go so high, you'll be as far up as you can go directly above your target and still have the target load in. Wait for the target to sleep, and then dive down (DO NOT DIVE ONTO THEM), land carefully but don't take time to do it, and spam bite attacks if the target has a long animation. If it has a short animation, bone break it and continue pecking. Using this technique, you can get an 80% kill rate consistently. Also, focus on hunting solo creatures, just in case.

And whatever you do, DO NOT hunt a deltadromeus. They're faster, stronger, do higher bone break and are almost always in huge groups. They also can jump and kick unbelievably high for their size. Also, they have an extremely fast animation, so I repeat - DO NOT hunt Deltadromeus, even if its low health.
