The プテラノドン is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Flyer group.
At 210 base HP, the プテラノドン is relatively fragile. Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. With 150 base Stamina, the プテラノドン has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 120, giving it a reasonable inventory size.
The プテラノドン is a knockout tame: apply enough torpor to knock it out, then place food in its inventory. Regular Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the プテラノドン is a versatile flyer useful for scouting, traversal, and light transport. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 29°C–32°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.79 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
