The Pteranodon: Dinosaur Scout ClassThe Pteranodon is a flying scout that can report human positions to the other dinosaurs.
We reckon it is going to be great for gameplay - it definitely gives us a point of difference from your other team based shooters. And, what could be more satisfying than sniping one down as a Scientist?

Tactical Summary:This is the scout class, the Pteranodon has the best vision out of all the dinosaurs. Combine its superior vision with its ability to fly and you have an amazing asset for the dinosaur team. Once the humans are spotted, the Pteranodon reports their location to the dinosaur team. The Pteranodon can also swoop down and attack the human team from above. The swoop can knock the humans down, leaving them vulnerable to the T-Rex's stomp among other things. The Pteranodon can also pick humans up, flying them away from the group or dropping them to their death.
Pros:• Only dinosaur that can fly
• Hard to spot in the air
• Can swoop down at high speed and pick up/knock down enemies
• Great for scouting
Cons:• Very low health
• Slow ground movement
• Weak attacks
