Source This robust relative of the quetzalcoatlus became an apex predator in the absence of theropod dinosaurs. As a terrestrial stalker, it used its powerful jaws and neck muscles to capture large prey. Now, it the Airborne Terror of the night skies. Hatzegopteryx is often seen eating small dinosaurs and sometimes even Dragon hatchlings. Many parents often use the Hatzeg as a sort of teaching device to show their kids that they always need to watch over their shoulders, because if they don't, the Hatzegs will swoop down and gobble them up whole.
