Tips & Strategies
To tame:
Preparation- bring...
• At least 9 kibble for level 100 or less
• At least 20 tranq arrows
• 4 wooden spiked walls to surround the pteranodon with to keep
away predators (leave a small hole for you to crawl through)
• At least 20 Narcotics
• At least 3 bolas (the two extras in case you miss)
To knock out-
• Immobilize with the bola
• Hit with a tranq arrow. Wait five seconds. Repeat until knocked
out.
To tame-
• DO NOT give all the kibble or narcs at once. If a larger predator, such as a T-Rex, comes along, it will kill the pteranodon and you will have to retreat. You will most likely lose the narcs and kibble if you give the pteranodon all of it at once. Instead starve tame. (The rest of this tip is how to starve tame)
To starve tame-
1. Knock the Dino out
2. Wait until the Dino is at 3/4 to 1/2 hunger
3. Give the Dino narcos if needed. Only give one at a time.
4. Feed Dino with preferred kibble.
5. Repeat.

How to tame: Step 1:Bola the ptera. Step 2:Club it. Step 3:Feed meat Step 4:Cry in sadness and grief at the fact that you need level 38 for a saddle and you are level 12
Lvl up their stamina to like 700.0 then start leveling up their weight cause the lighter the weight is the faster it flies and if YOUR weight is about half full then the pteranodon will either be encumbered or very close to it
If you find a level 5 one of these and gonna tame make sure you have 2 prime meat if it's normal all settings is normal and prime meat gives it 50% taming thing

Some info-
Let's face it, they're the first flyer you tamed. High levels are the best to tame, as their stamina stat is trash and you can use the highest level of stamina you can get without leveling up. Might (or might not) be replaced by an Argy or Griffin (for fancy people).
Taming-
Super easy tames, a simple bola and tranq. Because of their tiny health pool I'd recommend tranq arrows and not a club or slingshot because, chances are, you'll just kill it before you knock it out. If you find a max level try to use kibble of raw prime, but normal meat works just as well. Even the lowest levels need a few narcotics, so bring some along no matter what level you're going after.
Saddling and stats-
Saddle requires fibre and hide (I think) as well as 75 keratin. Make sure to get the keratin before you can unlock the saddle. I know from personal experience that it sucks to unlock the saddle just to wait 10 in-game days for a turtle to spawn -_-
As for stats, they aren't too good. Low heath and stamina, although I personally only put points in stamina.

the best way to tame these guys is with dodo kibble . Most people would say tame them using prime meat but don’t listen to them because with prime meat it take a long to tame so I suggest dodo kibble it’s not that that expensive to make . And it take about 5-8 second to tame if you don’t believe me then go and experiment . Then leave a like
When taming a high level Pteranodon, always starve tame it that way you don't waste/lose your kibble if somebody/something hits/kills it.
I just started a ragnarok world and I swear bro this game loves me. I crafted my first cross bow and went out to tame stuff, and then came across a 150 pt! It only took one tranq arrow to knock out and I left it to starve. I came back once its food was empty and it insta tamed when I put meat in its inv. Now I have a lvl 214 pt on day five of my new world! - The goat
Thanks for reading!
I tamed one of these. It was a female. It was a beautiful sea green and brown. I let my mom name her and she chose the perfect name for her. Her name was Stella. She was killed saving me life. She fought off 3 rexes. (Killed them all). What killed her was a F***ING COMPY
Dear Wild Card- PLEASE MAKE THEIR SADDLE A LOWER LEVEL! I’m not asking for level five or something, 25 instead of 35 would be enough. It’s such a pain to get.
