Quetzalcoatlus

Quetzalcoatlus are the largest flying members of the pterosaur family and are often mistaken for dragons due to their immense size and 40-foot wingspans. Using the joints of their massive wings as forelimbs, they are also quite capable of moving on land, snatching smaller prey from the ground or out of streams.

Quetzalcoatlus are carnivorous, feeding on a variety of reptiles, mammals, large fish, amphibians, and other vertebrates. They are not inherently aggressive creatures and are happy to scavenge for food, but when presented with live prey they readily attack almost any creature smaller than themselves.

Pterosaurs are primitive flying creatures. While many are smaller than a human or even small enough to perch on a shoulder, the two presented below are quite a bit larger. Each of these creatures could pose a serious threat to a person.

These flying reptiles can be found in a wide selection of regions, but they tend to soar above warm or temperate climates. They sometimes spread outside their natural range as pets and hunting companions for lizardfolk or giants. Cloud giants living in isolated valleys also train the largest pterosaurs to carry their messages to the outside world.
