Pteranodon

Scouting

The high speed of the Pteranodon makes it a perfect mount to scout the environment or travel around the map, or to farm Supply Crates. Their speed lets them easily outrun Argentavis and Quetzal, and their roll attack can be used to move faster at the cost of stamina. (Level Stamina and Weight).

Mining Transport

The Pteranodon cannot carry much, but its speed and ability to fly over dangerous lands and hills still makes it a decent mount for bringing back valuables. However the Argentavis - while slower - is able to carry significantly more weight. (Level Weight and Stamina).

War/Damage

Despite the Pteranodon being a speed mount, skilled riders can roll through enemies to deplete health and destroy Flak armor, although it may be forced to land frequently. Its ability to grab people mid-combat can also shift a fight to your favor. Simply fly high up into the air, drop them and let fall damage take care of the rest. Keep in mind that a player, while grabbed by the Pteranodon, can still hit it and possibly kill it. (Level Health, Damage, Stamina and a little Weight…

Fighter Plane Squadron

The Pteranodon is exceptionally quick and agile in comparison to other flying mounts, especially after the nerf to fliers that removed the ability to increase travel speed. The Pteranodon's smaller hitbox and frantic movements also make it difficult to hit by both animals and firearms unless it's an autotracking weapon like an Auto Turret. A Pteranodon flown by a skilled rider along with several AI Pteranodon fighting alongside can easily overwhelm a Quetzal siege…

Taming

Due to its high speed and maneuverability the Pteranodon is a great tame for baiting and leading wild creatures into a trap for taming. They are also good for carrying small creatures to a designated taming spot. (Level Stamina and Health)

Travel

While the Pteranodon doesn't have the 's weight, the Pteranodon has high speed. Because of this they are good creatures for a fast travel through dangerous areas. (Level Stamina and Weight if carrying heavy items)
