PLS MAKE A SADDLE ON THIS
Why are they not rideable are they too small? they are the same size as dire wolves why are they not able to be picked up by argentavis are they too big? They are the same size as dire wolves
Watch out for these guys, they can jump at you and freeze you just like the cnidaria and they have a huge knockback
Beware the surface of the redwoods or the Arctic because these things can dig and they're practically invisible I invite you to bring at least one spyglass to identify it.
So, I went on a trip with my Pterodactyl Ani. We were in a multiple player server and I went to a purple drop in pvp. Well I saw some kapro’s some carno’s and some other crap and I was like ‘Pfft, I’ll just be quick’. I GO NEAR IT AND THIS THING LIKE PARALYZED ME AND ANI! All of those kapro’s came and ate her alive. That creature is a nightmare. I swear to always check BEFORE I go down. Cause somehow I didn’t get eaten by kapro’s or carno’s so we both flew away in utter silence. TERRIFIED ME AND I JUST SAT THERE LIKE, ‘Why am I not dead?’
Use a low level tamed troodon to locate it safely then built a cage around it with ghilli suit on
That’s a nice Pteranodon you got there, shame if something were to happen to it.
If you get killed by them don't bother going back for your stuff. They don't wander. They will burry themselves right there.
It can make itself look like objects!!!
I was flying around on my argy in the snow area looking for obsidian, i saw a different looking rock and was about to fly down and check it out, but it transformed into a purlovia and almost got me off my argy. I don’t see many talking about this, but be aware!
Beware! They pull you off your tame if your riding it, they look like an oversized rat,lvl80+ are pretty powerful.
The annoying thing is when you want to find one they are all gone but when you don’t... YOU DIE! (P.S. they will not attack some creatures you think they would like the tabajara
Guys forget the wolves whose the same size as this, think about araneos that's even a little smaller and can still be ridden with good speed
You can use purloivas as base defense and hiding your good loot. They can dig underground and when on aggressive it can jump out and knock a enemy player off tame dazing them or something. If u put them on passive and give them good loot u can have them go underground to protect ur stuff.
Purlovia: Ima just dig here waiting for my next unsuspecting victim..
My tamed Igua and Me: Ooh lets walk over here.
Purlovia: Time to make you wish you were never born!
My Igua and Me: Litteraly suffering from Purlovia attacking
(Also uhm, theres this glitch where when purlovia attacks and you run, you still take damage... Its also more commonly experienced when purlovias attack)
Moral of the story: Never mess with a Purlovia, or go to the brown lumps of dirt.... THEY WAIT FOR YOU TO COME BY..)
Unfortunately these can be found in the volcano biome of Genesis
Can be found in snow and red wood biomes. Pick up with quetzal and drop in taming pen.
Use a Quetzal to pick it up. Make sure you have two people on 2 different birds for a better chance at grabbing it. Its also good in case the first Quetz loses its rider and is being attacked. Drop into a room that it can't damage and tame away. You could also have someone carried by a Pteranodon but it isn't safe because it could hit the person being carried which will then fall to his/her death. Happy taming!
