***Tenontosaurus*** was an iguanodontid from early cretaceous North America.

In The Isle, it is a herbivore of explosive power, galloping at impressive speeds and bludgeoning its opponents with the brute force of its kicks and claws. This is no easy prey to take down.

*Tenontosaurus* was added to The Isle in Patch 0.1.9.2053.

## In Real Life

*Tenontosaurus* was a medium Ornithopod Dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous. Tenontosaurus lived amongst Deinonychus and Acrocanthosaurus. Its tail is almost as long as the rest of its body.

## In The Isle

*"Beauty and grace define the Tenontosaurus. These herbivores prefer to live in peace but don't let their appearance fool you. They can be as dangerous as they are elegant. Sporting sizable claws on all four limbs, a massive tail, swift speed and one fierce attitude when provoked."*

-Official The Isle Roadmap

The *Tenontosaurus* is a hardy herbivore with an array of different attacks for different situations. Bites and claw attacks are fast and land easily, clipping away at the health of small creatures such as the Utahraptor, while slow but powerful kicks and a massive tail slam deal crushing damage and apply a 2 second stun to anything hit by them.

**Controls:**

**Left Mouse**: *A simple bite that deals moderate damage. This costs no stamina, can be used while running.*

**Left Mouse** + Alt: *A claw attack that deals moderate damage and bleed. This costs no stamina and can be used while running, but will slightly slow down your running.*

***Right Mouse:*** *A powerful backwards kick that knocks away and stuns creatures. There is a rough 0.3 second delay before the move actually activates, so time your attack well. This move does cost stamina, and can be used while running.*

**Right Mouse + Alt:** *A crushing backwards tail slam that deals huge damage and stun, but has a 0.5 second delay. This move costs heavy amounts of stamina, and cannot be used while moving at all.*

**Combat Tips:**

- Claw attacks are generally superior to bites due to the extra bleed offered. However, bites don't slow down your running speed, making bites excellent in chases.

- When you stun an opponent, try to land as many tail slams as you can before they can move again. The sheer amount of damage dealt from continuous tail slams should kill them even within that brief period of time - especially Carnotaurus, which die from only four tail slams.

- Nimble creatures such as the Utahraptor may prove too difficult to land a kick or tail slam on. Try to claw them instead.

## Pros & Cons

### Pros

* Very fast
* Quick turning
* Backwards tail attack has surprisingly high damage
* Overall very good combatant

### Cons

* Both *Utahrap**tor* and Carnotaurus are faster than it
* Is very slow during its early stages of life
* Can be easily killed because of inconsistent attack hitboxes (current bug)

## Behind the Scenesa

The *Tenontosaurus* along with the *Utahraptor* are being used as the base dinosaurs of which every new dinosaur's mechanics and behavior will be based off of.

*Tenontosaurus* will be one of the first intelligent AI added to the game, along with the *Utahraptor.*
