Most useful dino in PVE. We have a wide base with rivers, hille and towers. We don‘t use our feet, we always use our personal Pteranodons. Tame the best guys with kibble, breed new ones and level weight. You can reach 450+ weight with 1700 HP and 300+ damage as basic values giving you an alround friend who you‘ll never leave alone any more. My favourite dino for sure.

Please make sure you lvl up their stamina!! i have a lvl 208 and he has 1450 stamina and a barrel roll still takes 1/3 of his stamina. my prefs are health, stamina, and melee!

When you first tame one you probably can’t make a saddle because you need to be 38 or have a blueprint. So when you are leveling up my advice is to level up its stamina because it gets tired very easily.

Wile fast they do not Cary much but they are very fun

This Dino is really easy to tame with a bola, tranq arrow to the head, and dodo kibble. For weak-hearted new players like me, it’s very useful to scout the surrounding areas farther away from your base. Make sure to up the stamina and maybe movement speed.

It's a trolling bird. Now I have to have more words to submit this.

You can barrel roll through normal doors

In my first days of ark,i used to tame dilos on my single player world.I didnt know how to tame the Pteras,and i was a noob.Then i became a pvp player after more research in to the game.I started up with a small tribe on the xbox 1 and we tamed up dodos for kibble,tamed us some decent 120s.This helped us when we were struggling to find beaver damns.We also discovered that they are very easy to breed and raise.

Do not underestimate bc these are powerful. I went to collect cementing paste from beaver dams when a therizino came out of nowhere and attacked my ptera. I shot 2 bullets with a longneck and ran out of ammo. I thought I would lose my ptera but it killed the theri. Breed and train them right and you get powerhouses

these guys are amazing at getting you around the island on mobile. pump a decent amount of levels into movement speed and they fly super quick with barrel rolling. pretty easy to tame but i would recommend a soothing balm, not to hard to get.

You can’t shoot or fire on a Pteranodon when your flying or on the ground.

DO NOT underestimate a player with a high level ptera, because that would most likely be your last mistake when you realize that shooting it barely puts a dent in its HP.

We can all agree on this... This is your first flyer

Utility Roles for Pteranodon:

First Flyer. The skies of Ark aren't as deadly as the ocean, but anything that flies offers a quick way to traverse areas that may kill you. Trust me, I've skipped an entire section of swampland with this thing. Plus, fliers offer a quick getaway from anything you think you can't take on. Just be sure not to land near a pack of Raptors. (level Stamina and Weight)

Alpha Slayer. Alphas have a really hard time touching aerial creatures, but Pteras are by far the best choice because they are the most nimble. Get at least five of them with a mate boost and you can pretty swiftly deal with alphas. (level Health, Melee Damage, and a little Stamina)

Scout/ Backup Flier. Pteras are small, nimble, and fairly strong. If you are on an Argy and you die, simply hop on the back of your Ptera to retrieve your Argy! (be sure to fly back with the Argy, it's slower than the Pteranodon) (level Weight, Stamina)

If he's your first flier and you end up with an Argy or something else, don't give up on your boy the Ptera. He can serve as a good scout, because he is faster than the Argy, allowing you to make a much quicker getaway (level Stamina, like A LOT)

Hey those guys are awesome. I have 3 (and i just hatched another) and i make metal runs. They can take în total of 650 ore. I dont have an argy to be more efficient yet. But im lvl 54 and i will get one soon.

If your gonna level him up like this n health or stam do it off of him because their bar get shot up as soon as you level them up

Make sure you get a parachute, so if you press the wrong button, you don't die and lose your new pet to the wild!

Don't land in a place where you can not see the animals nearby because they can kill you. Also watch the stamina bar.

These things are OP they can demolish a giga just get a good mutation and try to uplevel the health , movement speed, and melee. It worked for me so try it and tell me how badly you fail or win
