Andesaurus

In Real Life
Total length estimates place Andesaurus at 15 metres (49 ft) to 18 metres (59 ft) long. In 1995, Jan Peczkis created mass estimates of dinosaurs and placed them into order of magnitude categories (each category was then subdivided into thirds); using a mass estimation technique that extrapolates from the circumference of the femur, Andesaurus was listed in the 40 to 70 metric tons (44 to 77 short tons) category. Gregory S. Paul, however, lists Andesaurus as 7 metric tons (7.7 short tons) in weight. In 2020 Molina-Perez and Larramendi estimated a total length of 22 metres (72 ft) and 20 metric tons (22 short tons).

The dorsal vertebrae of Andesaurus bear the typical features of an opisthocoelous centrum and large lateral pleurocoel (pneumatic depression). Unlike related Phuwiangosaurus, there is no ventral keel under any of the vertebrae, and there is a pneumatic feature on the front of the neural arch, the latter being found in most neosauropods. Potentially diagnostic for Andesaurus, there is an additional ridge supporting the lower articulation for the ribs ( parapophysis ), although poor preservation in other vertebrae means it can only be identified on one bone. The hyposphene-hypantrum articulations of Andesaurus are smaller than more basal sauropods, but less reduced than in Argentinosaurus or Epachthosaurus, where the surface is only articular ridges, and also less reduced than more derived titanosaurs where the articulation is entirely absent. Pre- and post-spinal laminae are present in the vertebrae of Andesaurus, like in other somphospondylans.

In Prehistory
Andesaurus is currently the second largest and most expensive dinosaur in the game. it is incredibly powerful and can crush even the largest of predators. Herbivore players tend to stick around Andesaurus for protection. Andesaurus was first rumored by the community to be the Argentinosaurus, however this was later debunked. Andesaurus was confirmed in late November. This large sauropod has enough blunt power to kill all apexes one on one, however it may be vulnerable to attack by strategic players/packs such as Giganotosaurus or even a skillful allosaurus or acrocanthosaurus Andesaur herds are very common, occasionally forming around the plains of the map.

Pros

 * Extremely powerful
 * Can eat trees
 * Great damage and attack mobility
 * Good attack rate


 * Most health out of any dinosaur
 * Insane turn rate in water, can turn faster than an Acrocanthosaurus attacks.

Cons

 * Slow
 * Vulnerable to tail-riding
 * Bad turning speedUnknown (18).png
