Environment	Jungles, swamps
Area(s)	Nazmir, Zuldazar

Brutosaurs are enormous, long-necked dinosaurs native to Zandalar. They are used by the Zandalari Empire as both weapons of war and enormous, mobile trading posts. Trained to haul goods throughout Zuldazar, brutosaurs offer a slow but steady ride around the city's terraces. Brutosaurs are rare within Vol'dun.

They are also used for their milk, which is often drunk when someone ate food too spicy for their taste. To brutosaurs, seed pods partially digested by diemetradons are a delicacy. The pods only become edible to a brutosaur once in the belly of a diemetradon. Brutosaurs have a sweet tooth, how they attained that trait has been lost to time and legend. The brutosaur species of Nazmir have a great fondness for primitive watermelons which are inedible to most other creatures. Some brutosaurs are carnivorous, some even like their meat cooked.

White brutosaurs were on the brink of extinction, with Gentle Ben'jin and Irritable Maka'fon having been the last two remaining. However the two eventually had children,  [Lil' Ben'fon] and Little Ben'maka.

Notes and trivia

• Brutosaurs are based on the real-life sauropod dinosaurs. Their model is named "brontosaurus" in the files, which is perhaps the most famous of the sauropods.
• Sauropod-like dinosaurs first appeared in Warcraft in the form of the "longneck" dinosaurs featured in the Journey to Un'Goro expansion for Hearthstone.
• It is required to feed three named brutosaurs for the achievement  [Eating Out of the Palm of My Tiny Hand].
• Players often humorously refer to brutosaurs using the term "long boi".
