Acrocanthosaurus

**Overview**
The Acrocanthosaurus is a large, playable carnivore in Beasts of Bermuda. It's one of the slowest carnivores in the game, only being faster than the semiaquatic Ichthyovenator's terrestrial movement speed. However, it has a decent damage output and bleed, in addition to its ability, to counter it. It also has the highest health and size. The Acrocanthosaurus is a superb ambusher due to its high damage output. It is the carnivore most capable of hunting the huge Apatosaurus and the swift Parasaurolophus.

Its attacks are fairly straightforward, possessing both a forwards-aimed and a downwards-aimed bite as its primary and secondary attack, which both use 12 ability power.

**Abilities**
* Acrocanthosaurus is able to inflict terrible bleeding wounds on its opponents. Bleeding is a status effect that damages health, comfort, and raises injury damage. This allows the Acrocanthosaurus to engage in persistence hunting, wearing its prey out over long distances while they succumb to blood loss. A skilled Acrocanthosaurus can fell even the largest of creatures, so long as they are not allowed to recuperate.

* It has also an Intimidating Roar, similar to the Parasaurolophus, which for 50 ability power causes the target to lose a percentage of its stamina, and reduces its damage output by a percentage, this effect lasts 6 seconds. The effect get's weaker and the ability cost rises if Intimidating Roar is used before a timer of 18 seconds expire, which can be seen as an icon over the affected player. This effect can also stack which further decreases the stamina and damage reduced and increases the ability cost. After the 18 seconds expires, the ability cost of the Intimidating Roar and the amount of stamina and damage which will get reduced resets. The effect of Intimidating Roar can be increased with the also called Intimidating Roar Talent. As an example, 5\3 points in this talent invested will decrease the damage output by 54%. When aiming this special ability press RMB or LMB to cancel it.
