Light bite
Left click performs a bite or small defensive strike depending on the situation. With only 20 force, this is not a fighting plan: it is a last tool to push back a tiny threat or buy one second before escaping.

Dryosaurus
Gameplay guide
This profile gathers useful information for choosing this dinosaur, understanding its role, and preparing a Gateway session.
Play style
Evasive forager
Dryosaurus plays as a smart little prey animal. It almost never wins by holding a duel: it wins by seeing danger before it lands, saving its two dodges for the real contact moment, then breaking line of sight. The ideal loop is simple: feed quickly, drink with an exit plan, cross open ground as little as possible, and use its small profile to disappear rather than provoke.
Features
Active abilities
Dodge
Right click triggers dodge. It has two charges that refill after a delay, and dodge does not spend ordinary stamina. The correct use is to wait until the predator truly commits, then dodge at the last moment; dodging too early simply gives the enemy time to correct.
Directional escape
Dodge direction is prepared with camera and movement. Dryo should not sprint in a straight line until stamina is gone: break the attack line, disappear into grass or behind terrain, then stop making noise once the predator loses sight.
Small profile
Dryo's small body is an ability on its own. It should play tall grass, open forest, slopes, and direction changes. Its survival comes less from winning duels than from disappearing successfully.

Official notes
Selection-screen data: Diet DT_Herbivore, Preferred Food VariegatedOrange, Agave, SunchokeRoots. Basic Max Weight 130.0, Basic Max Speed 1250.0, Basic Max Bite Force 20.0, Basic Max Group Size 10. Official notes indicate that Dryosaurus dodge works through a charge system rather than normal stamina use. Official EVRIMA notes added and adjusted directional attacks, giving Dryo a small close-range answer without changing its main evasive role. Official updates adjusted dodge behavior, including direction and cost, confirming it as Dryo's central EVRIMA survival tool.
Community notes
Evrima Quick Guide matches the selection screen: 130 kg, 45 km/h, 20 bite force, and a group limit of 10. It also notes that dodge has two charges, refills after a delay, and does not consume ordinary stamina. Community sources describe Dryosaurus as a tiny, fast, agile, fragile herbivore built to read danger, refuse fights, and survive through movement. Watch old sheets: Dryosaurus is associated with burrowing in Legacy, but in EVRIMA its current playable tool is mostly dodge. Steam player discussions also flag this confusion between old burrow behavior and current dodge.
