Brachiosaurus (/ˌbrækiəˈsɔːrəs/) is a genus of sauropod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Jurassic, about 154 to 150 million years ago.
It was first described by American paleontologist Elmer S. Riggs in 1903 from fossils found in the Colorado River valley in western Colorado, United States. Riggs named the dinosaur Brachiosaurus altithorax; the generic name is Greek for "arm lizard", in reference to its proportionately long arms, and the specific name means "deep chest". Brachiosaurus is estimated to have been between 18 and 22 meters (59 and 72 ft) long; body mass estimates of the subadult holotype specimen range from 28.3 to 46.9 metric tons (31.2 and 51.7 short tons). It had a disproportionately long neck, small skull, and large overall size, all of which are typical for sauropods. Atypically, Brachiosaurus had longer forelimbs than hindlimbs, which resulted in a steeply inclined trunk, and a proportionally shorter tail.
Brachiosaurus is the namesake genus of the family Brachiosauridae, which includes a handful of other similar sauropods. Most popular depictions of Brachiosaurus are in fact based on Giraffatitan, a genus of brachiosaurid dinosaur from the Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania. Giraffatitan was originally described by German paleontologist Werner Janensch in 1914 as a species of Brachiosaurus, B. brancai, but moved to its own genus in 2009. Three other species of Brachiosaurus have been named based on fossils found in Africa and Europe; two are no longer considered valid, and a third has become a separate genus, Lusotitan.
The type specimen of B. altithorax is still the most complete specimen, and only a few other specimens are thought to belong to the genus, making it one of the rarer sauropods of the Morrison Formation. It is regarded as a high browser, possibly cropping or nipping vegetation as high as 9 meters (30 ft) off the ground. Unlike other sauropods, it was unsuited for rearing on its hindlimbs. It has been used as an example of a dinosaur that was most likely ectothermic because of its large size and the corresponding need for sufficient forage, but more recent research suggests it was warm-blooded. Among the most iconic and initially thought to be one of the largest dinosaurs, Brachiosaurus has appeared in popular culture, notably in the 1993 film Jurassic Park.
In-game, it is three times the size of a Brontosaurus and half the size of a Titanosaurus.
It usually has a gentle personality, but when attacked, it will roar with anger, grant a buff, and then become hostile.
Roar of Fury is a buff that increases attack power, speed, and defense, and grants coma resistance, pollution resistance, cold resistance, and heat resistance.
In this state, the main attacks are trampling attacks using the legs and mowing attacks using the tail.
How to tame
Brachiosaurus has a nest in a specific location, and the nest always contains a huge fertile egg.
Once you get the fertilized eggs, all you have to do is hatch them and raise them to become adults.
However, there are always Brachiosaurus watching near the nest, and the moment they take the fertilized eggs, they attack all at once.
At that time, you will need to escape as fast as you can by riding on a flying creature such as a pteranodon.
After taming
You can ride a horse with a special saddle, and there are three types of saddles.
The first is a regular saddle, the second is a platform for building a base, and the third is a TEK saddle.
Just like in the wild, it is possible to use trampling attacks and mowing attacks, as well as buffs with ``Roar of Anger''.
However, the platform saddle used to create the second base allows you to freely create a base.
The TEK saddle has a beam on its head that consumes elements and can be used to attack from a distance, and on its back it can fire TEK missiles that consume elements and is best used on horseback. It will be covered with a barrier to prevent debuffs from being applied to players who are in it.
This makes it very useful in the fight against contaminated creatures and the battle against the Titans.
Especially when it comes to Titans, the TEK saddle is the best choice for fighting Titans, as they are twice as powerful as normal against their weak points.
