The Pteranodon is a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Flyer group.
Melee starts at 100% - solid damage output that scales with level-ups. At 210 base HP, the Pteranodon is not particularly tanky. With 150 base Stamina, the Pteranodon has moderate endurance. Weight capacity starts at 120, giving it average weight tolerance.
The Pteranodon 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 Pteranodon 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.
