Nyancackee (Pteranodon longiceps, Algonquian: Nyankaki) is a specues of pterosaur that is a largest known Pteranodontidae family. It was an important part of the animal community in the Western Interior Seaway; was introduced in Elf's Heritage.
Etymology
It from Greek πτερόν pteron means "wing", and ἀνόδων anodon means "toothless" or "without tooth"
Physical Appearance
Pteranodon has a long head crest that is probably used to help counter and represent male individuals, narrow hips, and very large crests, which were probably for display. Due to its counterweight in nature, it balances the weight of its massive beak, which it uses to capture fish and other aquatic animals. The size of the pelvic canal probably allowed the laying of eggs, indicating that these smaller adults are females.
Abilities
Pteranodon swoops and grabs the enemy with their feet or beak to fly on air. Sometimes, Pteranodon breathes medium-powered wind energy to blow up. Pteranodons were known to attack and subdue large animals such as humans and others (such as tigers, rhinos, hippos, dogs, leopards, horses, antelopes, elephants, and others, including fish), then rip their torsos open and devour their internal organs or eat fish whole.
Ecology
Pteranodon are going to hunt at their shore, where the sea is home to marine life and their rivals since Pteranodon is polygynous and can breed for their nesting in offshore areas where they are away from land-based species. The locomotion of Pteranodon was quadrupedal while walking slowly, but they could fly when flapping their wings like modern-day bats. Most of their weight was centered towards the front, causing them to walk on all fours.
The predators of Nyankaki/Pteranodon were theropods, mammals, mosasaurs, sharks, giant squids or giant octopuses, and others in terrestrial or aquatic contact.
Behavior
Pteranodon is skittish and not aggressive whatsoever to humans or animals, and will fly away when attacked. However, if an egg is stolen from a female Pteranodon, it will become aggressive.
Some lonely individuals were fiercely defensive of their nests and territory, attacking any intruders, including humans, elves, or any animals, that entered or even came near their nests.
Distribution and Habitat
Pteranodon lived in the Western Interior Seaway, where the home of their prehistoric creatures played an important ecological role in their homeland in the Late Cretaceous period.

Tamed
Pteranodon can be immobilized and captured with a captured net or bolas, depending on its use for tangling. For some use, only tranquilizing bullets, arrows, and darts make them unconscious for feeding. But be cautious with your knockout method; nearby predatory animals attack you, and recommend allies move unconscious Nyankaki away. Feeding this animal with non-poisonous and very fresh fish

The Pteranodon is the emblem that may be seen on the banners of the native Arising Algoquian people and the New Italian Mafia Legion. The New Italian Mafia Legion and Arising Algoquian's banner bears noticeable differences from the standard Roman legion and Algonquian banner designs.
