The '''Tyrannodactyl''' is a {{MFamilies}} that first appeared in {{Dragon Quest II}}.

==Characteristics==
Tyrannodactyls is a {{MFamilies}} based on pterosaurs that can be found in the fifth and sixth floors of the [[Cave to Rendarak]]. It is a stronger version of the [[Terrordactyl]] with a more orange/reddish color scheme, but unlike its counterpart which only uses physical attacks, it uses dangerous spells like [[Fire Breath]], [[Kasap]] and [[Snooze]]. Starting with the {{Super Famicom}} remake, the Tyrannodactyl's skin changed to dark yellow with red webbing on its wings.

==={{DQRivals}}===
More than 30 years after its first appearance, the Tyrannodactyl returned as a monster card for [[Fortune Teller]] leaders in the 6th card pack, "A Symphony of Small Hope".

==Trivia==
*This {{MFamilies}} is infamous among fans of {{II}} for being one of the only sources of the [[Mad cap]]--an incredible hat that reduces {{MP}} costs significantly. Players would spend hours at a time hunting the creature to get the hat; one in particular being ''[[Pokémon]]'' creator Satoshi Tajiri. In an interview held in 1998, he revealed that the inspiration for exchanging data between games, a staple of his series, came about due to envy that his friend (and Pokémon illustrator) Ken Sugimori had managed to nab two of them and had no way to share them.
