Pelagornis may be possibly the BEST tame anyone can get because if you need to rest and there is no land is fine because you can rest on the water

I don't think I've seen this posted but you can use it to get leech blood, just swim around on the bird basically killing everything except the frogs and occasionally jump in the water for a few seconds to draw more leeches out then use the bird to kill them.

If you take off in water and fly down you will dive into the water for a second or two!

It can land on water which is helpful crossing oceans or landing safely.

They are actually pretty good beginning game and are good for river exploration.

If u want to store ur pelga in ur base it fits trou a door so no worries

These things do a lot of damage to all fish including jelly’s. They are very useful for collecting toxins. My tamed pela on brutal one shots most jellyfish that has like over 1k health. This bird is perfect for making lots of toxicant arrows. They harvest lots of polymer from young penguins. Great tame for finding otters. These birds are very underrated. I also soloed an alpha carbo with one by luring it in the water and using my speedboat bird to kill it

They do NOT fit through doorframes.

Once upon a time Pelagro was bullied in school for being a figure skater. The antagonistic Rex proclaimed "Anywhere, anytime dweeb!". So, Pelagro suggested the bully tried to fight Pelagro on ice, where he was very suddenly outmaneuvered, and Pelagro kicked Rex's butt. Point is, if you're using this thing to kill fish, you've only scratched the surface. Capable of killing any land bully if close to deep water.

You can use this bird as a boat for wuick trips around the area and fly if needed.

The Pelagornis is the only flying mount with the ability to land on water without dismounting you. It's perfect for traveling long distances if you are a noob. Also it's a penguin and fish assassin.

You can easilly find pelagornis on the south part (the part where the hunter artifact cave is) on the beach, where the big rocks are

(On the island)

I bring great news: after years of neglect the Pelgo has received the necessary ,secret, visual TLC. The oversized gannet has received a visual face lift that makes its beak more, natural looking, and even giving it passive head movement animations. Apart from that, the

Pelgo remains unchanged in performance, the underrated starter that can carry more than a Ptery; go for longer than a Ptery and the only flier that can land on water. It is one of the most surprising tames in ARK.

If you land and water you don’t get taken off your mount!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST FLYER FOR BEGINNERS

As a flying mount it's not too shabby. It's stamina regens pretty fast, can "swim" on top of water and speed isn't so bad. However this thing shines the most in polymer gathering. I've killed baby kairukus with this thing and it gathered a crazy amount of it its not even funny. Tame these guys for their polymer gathering capability

Tip: Since it farms alot of Organic Polymer, I built a small base on an Iceberg where the penguins are and I leave it there so whenever I need Polymer, I just go travel to the base with an Argie and take the seagull out!

You just replaced your ship because this is super fast in water

We can fish off it with a fishing pole.

One word to some up this bird? Safe! You can litarally spend a rainy night on its back floating in the shallows. Come morning, kill some fish and be on your way.

This bird kills piranhas in one hit, extremelly satisfying.

The pelagornis can be very useful for helping get players or dinos across piranha infested waters. Since they do 10X more damage to piranhas, coels, and salmon, they can be used to clear out swarms of them in rivers or swamps. You can then safely cross the water without needing to worry about piranhas killing your friends or dinos. Make sure to be aware of other dangers in the water such as sarcos, spinos or megalodon.
