Talk:Angorodon

Anyone else think these are a bit too tough? I don't even wanna think about a pack of these in HM. Any tips? Showb1z 13:10, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * They're a bitch to take down, I was killing 1 at a time using BHA to shutdown the lifesteal. Lord of all tyria 13:12, 2 September 2007 (CDT)


 * There is no HM in EotN, luckily, sort of... O_o Damn these guys are tough --84.24.206.123 13:14, 2 September 2007 (CDT)


 * They're a pain, yes, but at least they don't go and turn one of your casters inside out in 2 seconds like a Tyrannus will --Gimmethegepgun 20:44, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * If they're all targetting the same person, they'll turn anyone inside out in 2 seconds. :| Arshay Duskbrow 21:05, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Horribly horribly goss if more than 2 get on the same person. can easly spike someone with high dp in less than a second, ignoreing all protective spells.  any of my survivors aren't going near these freaks. you can at least stop a Tyrannus with protective spirit or shelter.  to add insult to injury, they also hit incrediably hard in mele even though they are necros. was doing 50-80 on me (al 60)68.238.124.36 09:44, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Annoying little monsters... accidentally ran into 2 groups... that was a quick team wipe out -.- 3 times in a row *sigh* Hate Touch Rangers already, why did they have to imply a monster into the game with that? --Birchwooda Treehug 07:01, 12 September 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, these things are beasts. DKS01 23:29, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Why would anyone be afraid of a Tyrannus? Even a monk secondary hero with prot spirit can help Mhenlo keep stuff alive against a bunch of them. A Tyrannus doesn't even have a self heal. While it is true that even crappy parties could handle Angorodon packs without big problems, if you want to keep your survivor status you better be careful when around Angorodons. One good blood spike sequence = end of survivor track. And even if they don't really target you for a blood spike and kill someone else instead, the putrid explosions and unholy feasts might get you.
 * It's not so much the lifesteal that gets me about these things, it's their chain reaction of Putrid explosions once a corpse appears. That and a horde of raptors appearing halfway through the fight. --Ckal Ktak 10:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Based off of..?
The other Swampfly dinosaurs are pretty easy to peg, but I'm not sure what the angoros might be based on; they've got that low anky-type shell body but then there's that long neck.. Anyone want to put forth some guesses? --Nunix 15:33, 8 September 2007 (CDT)
 * With that armor, it may be impossible to peg them as real dinos, but the facultative biped body shape reminds me of therizinosaurs, or maybe either prosauropods or early ornithopods... I have to say if I was going to pick one of those as a Necro, I'd pick the therizinosaurs. Esadha Kephal 08:59, 11 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Except that therizinosaurs are bipedal with big claws on their forearms. I'd say they're more closely based on a small sauropod (they got smaller and armoured during the Cretaceous, although I can't think of any from that period that were THAT small) - although, personally, the appearance and behaviour (all those lifestealing gaze attacks...) make me think more of the mythological catoblepas than any variety of dinosaur.
