Pelagornis
Creature Guide
BirdsOverview
The Pelagornis is a large seabird with a wingspan rivaling the Argentavis. It is one of the most versatile mounts in ARK, capable of flying, walking, and swimming on the ocean
Dossier
Wild
The much-larger ancestor of water birds like the stork or pelican, Pelagornis miocaenus shares many traits with its modern-day brethren. However, it seems to spend far more time hunting for fish over the open deep-sea. In fact, I have rarely spotted a wild Pelagornis anywhere near the coasts of the main Island, as it prefers to rest its wings by paddling on the ocean
Domesticated
Because of its ability to fly, walk and surface-swim, a tamed Pelagornis is one of the Island
