It is a passive tame only found on crystal isles
Tropeognathus
The Tropeognathus is a rideable flying pterosaur. While they are not the fastest flyers, they have excellent stamina and are great for transportation. Its beak allows surviors to "recycle" items and gear to their base components.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Tropeognathus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I'm asking this question in the if you encounter it section for the very reason that I have never seen one! I'm on The Island and I read that they spawn here but I can't find one!
I hatched an egg and got triplets. None showed their maturation percentage bar but were fine.
Just stay with them until juvenile then have a trough full of cooked meat.
It’s been nearly a month since their release.
AND IM STILL LOVING IT!!!
P.S- until September the only way to get them on console is with commands
And honestly their worth cheating for.
Tropeo is NOT exclusive to Crystal Isles. ALL maps got this new guy 💕
It's very rare even tho I was looking in the best spots for them
Confirmed to be on Extinction on console. Have a 145 male currently trapped. Seems like time is way off for dododex though. Since first feed it’s been almost 30 min and it’s still not hungry again.
These things are basically fighter jets only bad thing is The I wish the grenades would explode only on impact
If saddle used it can shoot grenades and can fly like a jet plane

This dinosaur is not worth the time to find it in xbox

It does extra damage to armor like the gigantopithecus
Pls don’t guess that this thing will be huge it has a turret but is actually small and infront of the cockpit of the saddle and isn’t like a normal size turret and a relatively small jet engine
I can’t wait for the tropeo to come out, it will be so awesome with its turret-engine saddle, and the fact that it uses its beak as a loving grinding machine. Will be exclusive to crystal isles and will likely be around the size of an argent.
This creature will be most likely as high up as a quetzal. I would prefer to tame it using a quetzal platform saddle, and then escape on a tapejara once its targeted at you. Your quetzal can tank the damage while you shoot on your Tapajara. Make sure you get some fish (or the…
This creature will be most likely as high up as a quetzal. I would prefer to tame it using a quetzal platform saddle, and then escape on a tapejara once its targeted at you. Your quetzal can tank the damage while you shoot on your Tapajara. Make sure you get some fish (or the preffered kibble) and then once it’s knocked out, feed it. (If the torpor drop rate is released, bring some narcotic if it drops fast)
I hope it's not smaller than a pteradon
Fk these things.
Be careful these fellas use quiet a bit of gasoline, make sure you aren't always on the fastes speed.
