==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Pteranodons are flying reptiles distinguished by their large wings, fang-filled beaks, and long tails. Ironically enough, the name ''Pteranodon'' means "toothless wing" in Ancient Greek. They have white feathered skin, yellow beaks, and the leathery membrane that make up their wings are grey. These prehistoric fliers attack from the skies and can char enemies with their fire magic, thankfully being limited by their low MP pools. The pteranodon has been a member of both the [[Bird family]] and the [[Dragon family]], depending on the game. After their original appearance, the pterosaurs only appeared regularly in spinoff games in the series, eventually returning in ''X'' after 22 years.

Pteranodons appeared in the game starting with Version 1.0. They have gained the ability to cast [[Bang]] since [[Sizz]] was not available at the beginning of the game. A trio of pteranodons are faced as bosses in the quest "Coda for Tomorrow" alongside a [[Great argon lizard]] in Version 2.3. They are much stronger than normal, gaining the ability to cast [[Kaboom]] and [[Oomph]] and breathe out [[Freezing Blizzard]]. Vicious pteranodons also began appearing as enemies in Version 5.0 of the game, also casting Kaboom, though it will also go haywire, albeit rarely.

In an especially close bit of scientific accuracy, [[Akira Toriyama]] added teeth to the Pteranodon's beak. These were exclusive to the Rhamphorhynchus genus, and not present in other Pterosaurs.
