These guys are really S tier flyers, especially for early game. Although theyre not as fast as the Pteranodon, they can recover stamina and float on water. They are masters at gathering organic polymer. Theyre also decently speedy and a good enough travel mount. My pela named Big Bird has recently been carrying me in my new The Island playthrough and because of him ive been able to get full ghillie extremely early on. Definetely reccommend taming.
More Pelagornis Utility Tips
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! 🪶
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!!!
