*Ludodactylus* (meaning **"play finger"**) is a genus of anhanguerid pterodactyloid pterosaur from the **Early Cretaceous period**.  
It is notable for its long, toothed beak and crest, resembling a blend of features seen in multiple pterosaur groups.

---

## Appearance
- Long, pointed beak lined with sharp teeth for catching slippery fish
- Distinctive cranial crest extending from the snout
- Large, membranous wings supported by elongated finger bones
- Lightweight, hollow-boned body adapted for agile flight
- Sharply clawed feet for gripping perches and prey
- Displays strong sexual dimorphism:
- **Males** have a striking orange-and-black banded crest and a darker, near-black body
- **Females** have a more muted, mottled brown-and-tan coloration with a duller crest
- In-game size: **5 blocks long** and **4 blocks tall** when wings are extended

---

## Behavior
- **Hostile**: Attacks players and small creatures on sight
- Will swoop down aggressively at players and small creatures
- Defends its territory fiercely, especially near water sources
- Uses aerial dive-bomb attacks to disorient prey

---

## Obtaining
Ludodactylus does not spawn naturally. To obtain one, you must:
1. Find ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v2/extinct/ludodactylus/ludodactylus_fossil_remains) [**Ludodactylus Remains**]($content/items/fossil) or fossils
2. Use the fossil revival process to create a Ludodactylus
3. Hatch from an **Ostrich Egg** type egg

---

## Diet
- **Piscivore**: feeds primarily on <img src="https://i.imgur.com/qICGNC1.gif" width={32} height={32} style={{imageRendering: "pixelated"}}/> fish sources
- Patrols lakes, rivers, and coastal areas searching for fish to snatch mid-flight

---

## Drops
When defeated, Ludodactylus may drop:
- ![](@jurassic-saga:textures/item/natural/entity/animal/v2/extinct/ludodactylus/ludodactylus_fossil_remains) [**Ludodactylus Remains**]($content/items/fossil)

## <img width={64} src="https://i.imgur.com/DTOgOBL.png" alt="Mr.DNA"/> Mr. DNA's Fun Trivia
- Ludodactylus' name, meaning "Play Finger" comes from the fact it was the first Pterosaur ever discovered with a Pteranodon-like head crest and teeth, something often portrayed in pterosaur toys!
- Ludodactylus was related to other pterosaurs such as Cearadactylus and Caulkicephalus, living in what is now Brazil!
- Ludodactylus likely relied on it's teeth to seize fish quickly and effectively!
- The achievement "It's a Birdcage" references the line said by Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park III during the Aviary sequence
- Ludodactylus was one of the largest pterosaurs in its ecosystem, with an estimated wingspan of around 5 meters
