One spawned right in top of me, and began flying close to the ground.

Like an idiot, I thought it was a Tapejara, and threw my bolo at it.

It was only when I realised it wasn't what I thought it was, and was a passive tame, that I left it behind.... It chased me all over…

Easy method for passive filters build trap big enough for it lure in with rare flowers riding a pteranadon once aggression goes away tame.

I found it very easy to use a snow owl if you have one. Let's say it's just floating up there in the sky and you can't seem to get it down. Use the freeze ability and it will force it to land, where then you can proceed to chain Bola it from a ground unit. It…

To take the tropeognathus, chain bola it and feed it a food of your choice. if you try to tame the tropeognathus without a chain bola, it will likely grind your armor.

To tame it, use a chain bola to trap it, then feed it kibble/raw meat. They’re neutral, which means they’ll only attack if provoked (the chain bola will aggro them)

It’s a non violent tame so don’t tranq it use bola to drain food and chain bola to tame it is a carnivore and is nuetral I hope this was useful good luck

Kill Tapejaras as it share its spawn with them. I killed a few Tappy then 3 of them spawn in a row. On Rag, they are found on long 25. Found two different spawn so far, near blue ob and above green ob, always on long 25.

Single player uses:

1. Travel mount: Tropeognathus' speed without a saddle is slow af, but put a saddle and give it some gasoline and it's the fastest thing in the game.

2. Wyvern egg stealer: Seems obvious

3. Giga killer: The grenades can be slightly expensive…

U can ride these without the saddle but u won’t get the jet boosts and missiles. They are also the biological version of a grinder. Use chain bolas on them and passive tame. Keep them bolaed bc they will kill u.

They spawn in the forest near the birch forest in fjord

The main reason I would tame one is for the grinder effect that it has
