It’s a very underestimated flying tame. What makes it so good is its ability to harvest polymer and it can land in water. It’s like a hespioronis and pt mixed. The only downsides are its saddle comes after the pt at level 43 and it only eats fish. Also when I tried to bola it, it didn’t work so I just knocked it out with a bat

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.

Newbie here got one of these guys by building a raft and finding one swimming in circles "fairly common"one trake arrow from a crossbow it was out I'd only seem to like to fish happy fishing

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.

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!!!

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

i LOVE seeing all this pela appreciation!! they're slower than the pt but far more versatile and reliable!! the fact they can swim means you can land anywhere and escape predators in a pinch, they instakill fish, and harvest TONS of organic polymer!! i love you pelagornis you are so adorable to me

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!

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! 🪶

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!

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.

They are passive-flee when wild, and are usually found hovering over the ocean. Easiest way to tame them is with a raft and bolas.

Position the raft directly under the bird, then bola it. It should fall onto the raft, then tranq it before it escapes the bola. Feed it fish or kibble.

They are so good at getting biotoxin

Better the PT it can go and both land sea and air I've also been able to travel all over the island because ov it's diversity

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.
