Stegosaurus

"Stegosaurus stenops"

The ***Stegosaurus*** is a large herbivore found in Path of Titans. *Stegosaurus* is a terrestrial dinosaur, and is relatively fast for its size. It deals large amounts of damage and Bleed with its wide-reaching tail swipes.

## Appearance

*Stegosaurus* is known for its small head and very wide body, adorned with a distinctive row of large plates that run along its back. It also boasts an arrangement of four sharp spikes that line the tip of its tail, referred to as a thagomizer.

Being deceptively fast with a galloping run, *Stegosaurus* can outpace most herbivores its size. With the swipes of its thagomizer, it punctures its opponents with huge damage, then whittles them down by bleeding them out.

## Abilities

These are the **Abilities** *Stegosaurus* can use for **combat.** *Stegosaurus* has two Tail slots to equip abilities in.

## Survival Tips

*Stegosaurus* is a moderately sized Herbivore that uses powerful tail-based attacks that deal high damage and inflict heavy bleed. It is less agile than its cousin, the *Kentrosaurus*, but is much stronger.

*Stegosaurus's* stats: 600 Health, 100 Stamina, 5000 Weight, 1 Armor, 1 Health Regen, 0.4 Stamina Regen, 0.32 Bleed Heal, 2 Stamina Drain, 900 Sprint Speed, 300 Trot Speed, 130 Walk Speed, 300 Sprint Swim Speed, 4.17 Swim Stamina Drain, 8.3 Swim Sprint Stamina Drain, 45 Precise Turn Speed, 2000 Fall Death Speed.

**Offense**:

* **Tail Attack**: The default tail ability. When fully grown, this move has high damage (80) and can deal severe injuries to opponents of equal or smaller size. It inflicts good Bleed as well. Damage and Bleed are multiplied by the difference in Combat Weight between the two combatants, so *Stego* will typically deal heavy damage to most opponents due to its great weight. The raw power of this attack is usually enough to cause most smaller opponents to run off after being hit.
* **Tail Swing:** The second available tail ability, and is a charged attack. This is the strongest attack in *Stego's* arsenal at a whopping 100 damage when fully charged (before Combat Weight is taken into consideration). This attack is best used against slower and larger opponents who can't easily evade it. Smaller opponents will simply keep distance until the attack automatically triggers and attack in between cooldowns. Group attacks will allow for more aggressive usage of it as your opponents will be distracted by your group members, allowing you to run in and hit them with it. Your stamina should be conserved for using this attack in general. Just be careful not to hit your allies.

**Defense**:

* **Standard Hide**: The default hide that offers no benefit or consequence. It should be replaced with Armored Plates as soon as possible.
* **Armored Plates**: Like *Kentro*, *Stego's* Armored Plate skin gives it increased defense without taking away speed.
* **Solar Powered**: Offers no defence but additional 30% stamina recovery during daytime which is not to be underestimated if one plan to bleed out opponents or sustain longer vs. hit and run tactics where attacks need to be avoided by sprinting frequently.

**Metabolism**:

* **Herbivore**: The default diet. Eat Berries and Melons for moderate food and water drain. This diet can be annoying at times if you do not know where the berry bushes are. *Stego's* also have a sizable food and water need and can eat and drink a lot even when they are only at 75% capacity. It's best to top off whenever possible.
* **Forager**: Eat nuts, fruits, flowers, and roots. Faster food and water drain. This may be good for young *Stego's*, but should be used only by adults when berries are not readily available.

**Other Traits**:

* **Pivot**: When standing still for a few seconds, Pivot will activate. This allows for faster Precise Movement turning. The speed is pretty quick compared to your normal spin speed. This is good if you anticipate an attack from the front, and you need to react to it and give your aggressor a nice tail smack. However, since precise movement locks your camera to your front, you won't be able to see the opponents behind you, although it is entirely possible to practice enough with using the Precise Movement key to get max value out of this ability.

## Paleo Info

*Stegosaurus* is a genus of herbivorous thyreophoran dinosaur. Fossils of this genus date to the Late Jurassic period, where they are found in Kimmeridgian to early Tithonian aged strata, between 155 and 150 million years ago, in the western United States and Portugal. Of the species that have been classified in the upper Morrison Formation of the western US, only three are universally recognized; ***S. stenops***, ***S. ungulatus*** and ***S. sulcatus***. The remains of over 80 individual animals of this genus have been found. *Stegosaurus* would have lived alongside dinosaurs such as *Apatosaurus*, *Diplodocus*, *Brachiosaurus*, *Allosaurus*, and *Ceratosaurus*; the latter two may have preyed on it. *Stegosaurus* belongs to the family Stegosauridae.

## Trivia

* Because of the use of the *stenops* species, the other two species (in-game) are smaller than what they are in real life.
* *Stegosaurus* is one of the original 10 creatures featured in the game.
* Near the end of 2022, *Stegosaurus* was affected by a bug that gave it access to the *Anodontosaurus*' Fortify ability when crouching with Pivot active. It was temporarily removed until the bug was patched a month or so later.
