This tame is useful because it’s a flyer. I personally tame a pteranodon so I can go and bait another flyer that is bigger into a trap. (Griffin, Argentavis, etc.) They are very easy tames to get, usually the second tame I get with only something like a Parasaur beforehand. They can be helpful to scout and go around the map quick as they are fast flyers. I usually use my first one to setup a base in a far away/ hard to get to location. Overall, Pteranodons are vey easy games to get and very important assist for you at the beginning of your adventure.

Especially for newer players. Make sure you keep an eye on the stamina bar. You don't want it to run out while airborn. I've lost a bird or 5 to that alone.

Don’t fly to high if it runs out of stamina you have 7 seconds to land or your pterdon will fall asleep and you will take massive damage

I didn't realize for a Looooooooooong time how useful the barrel roll is. Seriously, I've killed alpha rexes with it. Give it a shot!

If you play on mobile and want to do the roll then go to settings left or right multi tap and chose alt attack 2 !!!

NOW FOR THE MAIN PART--- THESE THINGS CAN KILL GIGAS the normal roll does decent damage but if you roll and attack a dino while watching the dino through spyglass you can deal tons of damage (this works in mobile idk about other platforms) i killed tons of rexes,brontos,allos..etc. using this trick

My Pteranodon, Shan. Absolute legend. True trooper. Top dog. Killed level 139 Spino on his own. Only level 92. Killed 20 Therizinos. 5 Carnos, 19 Direbears. 31 Raptors, 2 griffins and one Argentavis including a Megalodon that poked its tail up. Can fly from East to west without landing for stamina once. Wiped out a whole crew of boas with 5 barrel rolls. Rescued my Dilophosaurs more than twice. Very useful Pteranodon.
