Wild: Dimorphodon Equesica is another of the island's Jekyll-and-Hyde creatures. It is normally passive, sometimes even friendly. When provoked, it becomes very aggressive, even against larger creatures it has no business fighting... often to its own fatal end. Dimorphodon can make short work of smaller opponents, however, due to its large (but lightweight) skull and teeth.

Domesticated: Dimorphodon is one of the creatures on the island that is easily domesticated for companionship. But its use in combat is also quite clear: it will hunt in large groups to seek out enemy dino riders directly, harassing them to no end—regardless of the might of the mount upon they may be astride!

Known Information: Barely a meter tall, Dimorphodon should be low on the food chain, but its incredible speed and surprisingly strong bite makes it fairly dangerous, especially en masse as they tend to attack in groups. A flock of angry or hungry Dimorphodon can take down prey several times their size, so survivors should take care not to hunt near where a flock is gathered.

Behavior
Dimorphodons tend to stay close in groups of 2-5, however they can rarely be seen alone. They do not attack the player unless they are attacked or an egg is stolen.
They fight using the Raptor tactic (hit and run) and tend to dart towards their target, deliver a strike, then dart away. A small but dangerous flyer, the Dimorphodons are small, fast, and very hard to hit. They are great pets and hunters once tamed, but in the wild, they will attack if provoked and are very hard to hit for players without ranged melee weapons (pikes and spears) and mounts that do not have vertical attacking capabilities.
Tamed Dimorphodons will attack players if directed to attack an animal with a rider, making them excellent human hunters during raids. Watch out for these when walking along rivers and swamps, and some shorelines. In large groups they can become quite a menace, trying to tame one when a large pack is present is very hard so you may want to kill the others and knockout the one you want.
Appearance
The Dimorphodon appears as a small flying reptile with a notably round head. Their scales and feathers can range from bright, lively colors to dull, camouflaged ones.
Color Scheme and Regions
This section displays the Dimorphodon's natural colors and regions. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Dimorphodon. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Dimorphodon will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme.
