First time I got a pelagornis was amazing, his name was Gordo (yes, fat).

At first I was like "God, I hate pteranodons, let's tame this guy even though he'll suck like the tips are saying" oh boy was a wrong. Soon after taming him, I wanted to get some nice points (Christmas event), so I headed right on over to an alpha raptor, 1k health and 60 armor or so vs… god knows how much health and damage, it was a level 15. I swoop down like the insane person I am, and start beating up the raptor, taking heavy damage and flying over to the water, I land in the water, and for the next 10 minutes or so, I'm spinning around this raptor, attacking it, and praying for my life, I keep losing stamina and taking more and more damage, meaning I have to head towards the water and relax, before I finally kill it. I kill more carnivores till I'm super nice, get an adorable dunk from Raptor Claus with all points in melee, and continue on my brutal hunt, destroying alphas, killing carnivores, and braving carnivore island like a level 83 pelican has never done before.

But finally, I raft back over to land, looking for an itchythorinis in hopes of getting some good prime for my next pelican, I hop off Gordo, leaving him on passive so he doesn't kill the itchy and shoot one down, I'm happy for around 10 seconds before I get the alert that Gordo had died… to a carno.

I killed the carno and the itchy in a fit of rage and punched their bodies till they decomposed, then went on a mission to find my next pelican (Pelagrino, level 167), now, my opinion on them has changed forever and they're my favorite flier.
