If tamed they only eat fish meat and not regular meat ? Mine died from starvation I was confused. If they can’t eat reg meat let people see this ! :(

They are found around the beaches, and aren’t as good as other rideable flyers. There only use is organic polymer and fishing. I think that it’s saddle should be learned before the pteranodon’s.

How to tame one:

Step one: craft 3 bolas and make tranq items +narcotics bc they might try to wake up.

Step 2: find one on the beaches.

Step 3: bola it.

Step 4: use your tranq items (wait five seconds per shot you’ll just do damage if you don’t)

Step five: shove fish meat down its throat.

Step: 6 Use narcs if it tries to wake up.

Step six: wait until you can craft the saddle.

Up so noobs can see.

So no ones gonna mention that you can use a fishing rod on its back (apparently).

To the people who are annoyed about the fish diet, Pelagornis can float on the water and swim with you on it instead of getting dismounted forcefully like any other flier. They can murder fish that way if you have a few minutes of your time and a good, lively pond or river.

Mine was killed by a Xiph (Ark Additions creature, mod) and she was the best otherwise.. thank you for reading and Midnight also thanks you for taking another one like her! 🪶

These dinos are probably the starter flying Dino. If your a starter, just bola, shoot tranq arrows (6-10) and then feed raw fish! It’s really good at flying too! Like so the starters can see this!

They collect large amounts of organic polymer from baby penguins

This bird restore stamina very fast when in water up to let the others see this

The Pelagornis can get a lot of Organic Polymer from penguins.

Bola it, then just trank it :)

Guys dont listen to them telling you that you dont have to use narcotic because I just tamed one and you need SIX NARCOTICS just to tame this bird!

Only eats fish, don't forget that

Having trained and flown many Ptera and Pelagornis atp, I can now say I truly prefer Pelagornis as an early flyer tame. If you run out of stamina over water, just land in water, chill for a few seconds, and you’re ready to fly again. You’re gonna run out of stamina while flying at some point, so might as well pick a flyer that can quickly recover this way! They can also glide on top of the water to move around. The instant fish kill attack easily puts them over the line for utility preference in early game. You will never have to worry about Piranha again, and now you’re stocked with fish meat for taming. They may not fly super fast, but you can always upgrade their speed. Plus their burbling sounds are adorable. I freaking love Pelagornis!!!

When leveling up your pelagornis, head to the water. Tilt the head down and start killing fish. The pelagornis harvests the meat as it kills them, and does multiplies damage to fish.

Since patch 2.25 released April 8th they now reduce the weight of polymer by 80% when in the Pelagornis and they harvest it 30% more now

Hate that you fall off of your pteranodon if you hit water? Not only do you stay on your pelagornis, but it lands on top of the water! Better yet it will swim!

You can tame with cooked prime fish meat

Bola this big boi! It’s favorite food is a club to the face.

To all the people saying to tranq it, I have tamed several of these guys by just using a bola and smacking them in the head with a club. Make it easy on yourself

Pelagornis' can land on both land and water, so they are very ideal for scouting as they can go anywhere, but they have a low movement speed and weight so not an all around good flier
