ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These guys are found near beaches and sure, they're slower than a Ptera as an early game flyer, but far more versatile even later in the game for farming Organic Polymer.
They can rest on water to regenerate stamina and they do 10Γ their melee damage to small fish (according to ark.wiki.gg) while also instantly harvesting it after the fish dies... I say that's a fair deal
More Pelagornis Utility Tips
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! πͺΆ
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.
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 youβre ready to fly again. Youβre 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 youβre 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!!!

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!
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
These guys get so much hate for no reason and I love this guy he is amazing on the island because of all the rivers and with his good flight speed and decent whaght makes him perfect for exploring or deap sea fishing
