*Dimorphodon* is an early Jurassic pterosaur known for its large, deep skull and heterodont dentition  two distinct tooth shapes in the same jaw. It lived along coastal cliffs and forested shorelines and represents one of the better‑known non‑pterodactyloid pterosaurs from Europe.

---

## Appearance
- Large, bulky skull with strong jaws and two distinct tooth types (long fang‑like anterior teeth and smaller posterior teeth).
- Shorter wings relative to body size compared with many later pterosaurs; robust limbs and long, stiffened tail.
- Strong claws on hands and feet adapted for climbing and gripping perches.
- In‑game size: **3 blocks long** and **1 block tall** (represents a compact body with a wingspan scaled down from fossil estimates).

---

## Behavior
- **Hostile**: Will attack players if provoked or when defending territory.
- Likely a perch‑and‑pounce hunter that used strong limbs and claws to climb and launch into short, powerful flights rather than long soaring.
- Hunts small vertebrates and large invertebrates; may scavenge opportunistically.
- When threatened, Dimorphodon may attempt to flee to higher ground or cling to vertical surfaces using its claws.

---

## Obtaining
Dimorphodon does not spawn naturally. To obtain one, you must:
1. Enable [Experimental Features]($references/experimental)
2. Find ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/jw1/dimorphodon/dimorphodon_fossil_remains) [**Dimorphodon Remains**]($content/items/fossil) or fossils
3. Use the fossil revival process to create a Dimorphodon
4. Hatch from a **Chicken** type egg

---

## Diet
- **Carnivore**: feeds on <img src="https://i.imgur.com/4K6xsJA.gif" width={32} height={32} style={{imageRendering: "pixelated"}}/> meat sources
- Paleontological evidence and functional anatomy suggest a diet of insects and small vertebrates (lizards, small mammals, juvenile dinosaurs), with some authors also proposing occasional piscivory depending on local habitat.

---

## Drops
When defeated, Dimorphodon may drop:
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/jw1/dimorphodon/dimorphodon_fossil_remains) [**Dimorphodon Remains**]($content/items/fossil)
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/jw1/dimorphodon/dimorphodon_raw) [**Dimorphodon Raw Meat**]($content/items/meats)

- Dimorphodon's diet varied from small vertebrates like small sphenodontians, to small invertebrates like insects!
- Dimorphodon's head was large and bulky, something unusual for a pterosaur, however the weight of it's head was reduced by large openings separate from eachother by thin bony partitions!
- Dimorphodon was a poor flyer, as it's wings were proportionally short in relation to it's body, offering little gliding potential, and thus it relied on frantic short flights instead!
- The male Dimorphodon is based on it's depiction in The Lost World: Jurassic Park for the Playstation and Sega Saturn, the very first appearance of Dimorphodon in Jurassic Park media
- The first specimens were discovered in the Lyme Regis area of southern England in the early 19th century; the discovery helped establish pterosaurs as a distinct group of flying reptiles.
