Worked out from its stats

  • Low health pool — vulnerable to burst damage; focus it down quickly.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Pelagornis — Detailed Guide

The Pelagornis is a seabird that lands on water and takes off again. It is a light flyer for coasts and islands, and it collects Organic Polymer from Kairuku well.

Where to find it

It flies over the coasts of The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero and Genesis Part 1 in both games, Astraeos in ASA, and Crystal Isles, Fjordur and Lost Island in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame. It is skittish, so knock it out quickly, then feed it fish. Its saddle unlocks at level 43. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 40 minutes.
  • Temperature: 29 to 32 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 1.5 days at 1x.

Uses

Coastal travel, landing on the sea, and Organic Polymer.

Tips

It can rest on the water, so it is a good companion for long trips over the ocean.
