Posted May 9, 2025Depends on the species. A Pterodactylus has a wingspan of almost 20ft, pteranodons have a wingspan of 12ft for females, and 18ft for males.
The only change that this Pteranodon got was a change in dice. The Bite attack used to be 6(2d4+1) piercing. Now, it's 6(1d8+2) piercing, implying that the Bite is now Dex based instead of Strength based. No fusion for this guy.

Posted May 28, 2025Pteranodons aren’t scientifically dinosaurs, pteranodon is their classification. Dinosaurs can’t fly and aren’t aquatic. But it’s just easier for them to classify as dinosaurs in dnd

Posted Jul 7, 2025first off pteranodons aren't aquatic at all, second off dinosaur is a term that literally means 'terrible lizard' so technically every extinct lizard is a dinosaur and also dinosaurs evolved into birds which can fly!

Posted Aug 25, 2025I love to use these in my modern era campaigns, because there’s nothing like a supersonic pteranodon with wizards riding it to fight a jet fighter

Posted Jun 8, 2026Amazing, (nearly) every word of what you just said was wrong.
Dinosaur is a taxonomic meaning, not all extinct lizards are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are also not lizards.
Birds are dinosaurs, (the first bird appeared in the Jurrassic period along non-avian dinosaurs), and bird can fly. However when most people refer to dinosaurs being unable to fly, they are refering to the non-avian dinosaurs that where wiped out K-T extinction.
Pteranodons ate fish and almost exclusively lived in coastal environment. They could swim. Seeing how coastal birds are considered aquatic, Pterandons would be considered aquatic aswell.

Posted Jun 8, 2026Pteranodons are very closely related, both in the clade of Archosauria (or archosaurs) so I understand why WoTC classed them as dinosaurs for gameplay simplicity.
