Pterosaur

The Pterosaur guild is a guild that consists of flying reptiles. Pterosaurs are one of the 4 guilds that has unlocked the flight ability and is the only one not in the current Anthropocene meta. They still hold the record for the largest flying builds in Outside. (They were the 2nd class to Unlock Flight, after Insects.)

## Tier Placement

Pterosaurs probably would have been placed around B tier at the beginning as they were nimble and frail. They were more of a distraction than a target so some players just avoided them. But that didn't stop some players from camping them. Later on, they would've risen to some of the high tiers as their strategy had no flaws and they were bulky enough to survive attacks.

## History

### The Beginning

   Pterosaurs were made playable at the start of the Mesozoic Era straight after the most devastating balance patch of all time. These Archosaurs went for a different strategy spending most of its evolution on the flight ability. They had to sacrifice health for this perk but they didn't really need health because the only other flying builds were smaller arthropods below their weight class. This could also mean that they could escape easier from dinosaurs on the ground. Although it is true that they spent quite a few evolution points on power later on, for now they are just nimble little creatures. At this time their base stats looked like the stats shown on the right. Soon Pterosaurs found out that this nimble build was also great at being a support class getting rid of parasites on larger dinosaurs. Some players went for a fish-eating build for more EXP but for a higher reward comes higher risk.

### Becoming Larger

To mitigate this higher risk. pterosaurs started spending evolution points in health and power. Normally this would be a gamble but becoming larger has unlocked them a new ability, soar. This allowed them to travel long distances without losing that much stamina. Some Pterosaur mains soon discovered that this worked great as a scavenger type build which is what they most famous for the next millions of years. Their stats evolved to look more like the picture on the right for the rest of the Mesozoic era.

### Birds

Some dinosaur builds used the feather trait to make them unlock the flight ability. This was terrible for the Pterosaur player base as the dinosaurs they were avoiding with their flight ability is now in the air. For now, they weren't too big of a threat as they were new and not that powerful yet but after a while, the smaller pterosaur builds went out of favour.

### K-PG Balance Patch

At this point, they had been evicted from all Niches they had held, besides the record-breaking Flying Scavenger niche, who flew for a long time to find the remains of a defeated say Tyrannosaur, or Sauropod player, these loot drops were rare, Certainly, but when you could Patrol a entire Server, even the rarest loot isn't too hard to find, but the flying scavenger niche came back to bite them, as the Gigantic Dinosaurs they relied to feed on, went extinct during the K-PG Balance Patch, and as they required a lot of food to sustain, most starved or were defeated in combat in a combat frenzy for food that came after the K-PG Balance Patch. rendering **Pterosaurs** the only Banned class that has ever flew in Outside.
