Archaeopteryx

Archaeopteryx siemensii is a genus of bird-like dinosaur that lived in what was southern Germany during the late Jurassic period, around 150 million years ago. Archaeopteryx has been generally accepted by palaeontologists and books as the oldest known bird and was thought to be the first avialan capable of powered flight. It is an extremely important dinosaur in the ever-growing quest to understand their evolution.

Archaeopteryx are solitary spawns and will roam around the map until they get hungry. They will hunt animals smaller than or equal to their body size, including colony animals, leading to some fights that they may or may not win. Archaeopteryx will not target colonists unless they are severly wounded or downed. Archaeopteryx attack with their claws and teeth.

Archaeopteryx eggs can be crafted at a DNA reconstruction bench for 15 DNA.
