Changes: Bilaterus

Revision as of 06:31, 13 June 2020

Bilaterus is the final alien to be encountered in the game (if not counting Cyrax), and also the only new alien encountered in Tank 4. Bilaterus has two heads that must be defeated individually. Connecting these two heads are several pieces of bones, resembling that of a spine. This allows Bilaterus to cover a large area, which also allows it to kill much more fish at once than other aliens.

Both heads can be each bought separately in the Virtual Tank for 10,000 shells.

Anatomy

Bilaterus is actually two skulls, one round and one "pointed", connected by a spine consisting of four segments. One of its heads looks like the skull of the Pterodactyl, and the other one resembles an ancient fish skull. When both heads are defeated, Bilaterus' spine segments harmlessly scatter in all directions.

Story

THE STORY OF
BILATERUS THE ALIEN

Hardcore BILATERUS fans often argue over which head is superior. Judy K from Minnesota writes in: "Obviously the point head is the brains of the operation. The round head is just an overrated Christmas ornament." Bob J from Alabama counters: "No way. Roundy is the MAN! Pointy is just along for the ride." Whoa, easy there, you two. This is one controversy that won't be settled today!

Strategies

General

Bilaterus's large range can cause your tank to become bare within seconds. If you are using Gumbo, be wary of where your fish are at all times. While redirecting your fish to a safer location, Bilaterus's body may get in the way of Gumbo, killing all your fish.

Challenge Mode

In Challenge Mode, these troublesome aliens will almost empty a player's tank if not prepared. It is highly recommended to have a fully-upgraded laser gun to prevent this from happening. It may appear along with Balrog or Psychosquid.

Trivia

Bilaterus' name appears to be a corruption of the word bilateral (having two sides).
- Additionally, Bilaterus is a Type-II alien, referring to its two heads.
Bilaterus switches his attacking head occasionally.

First of all, Bilaterus is double-headed. In addition, his spine/tail can also kill your [[Fish]]. (it's able to eat 10 fish at once)also he is very fast. When Bilaterus is around you are permitted to attack one of the heads, so all you can do is destroy the first head and quickly blast the other one into a corner before it has a chance to attack. But watch out! If you are slow enough, he can switch attacking heads! He is quite difficult to redirect to another side of the tank, so your [[ultravore]]s, [[carnivore]]s, [[breeder]]s, and [[Guppy|guppies]] are less immune to him than [[Psychosquid|Psychosquid.]] Gash can pack a huge punch when Bilaterus is around.
