Overview
The Pelagornis is a flyer that specializes in gathering polymer and organic resources from aquatic nodes. It reduces Polymer and Organic Polymer weight by -80%, making it ideal for efficient polymer farming runs. Players tame it to streamline harvesting large quantities of polymer-based resources from underwater deposits.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment to remote ocean sites.

More about taming the Pelagornis
Pelagornis must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola, Bear Trap, or Plant Species Y to immobilize it. Then use Tranq Arrows from a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow, or Tranquilizer Darts from a Longneck Rifle to sedate it.
Tame with Regular Kibble for the fastest results. Raw Mutton also works well. The process takes about 30 minutes and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.

About gathering
While ridden, Pelagornis gathers from aquatic nodes using its beak. It harvests AnglerGel, Bio Toxin, Keratin, Raw Fish Meat, Raw Prime Fish Meat, and Organic Polymer with a 13.3× multiplier on most, and 5× on Organic Polymer. It specializes in polymer and chitin nodes, making it highly efficient for these resources.

Combat notes
Pelagornis has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos, meaning it takes significantly more damage from sources like spike walls and turrets. It resists Mining Drill Harvest completely, taking no damage. Exploiting its projectile and explosion weaknesses is effective in combat. Level Health and Melee Damage.
The head has a 3× damage multiplier, making headshots highly effective for faster knockouts. Target the jaw area during taming for optimal torpor gain.
Can break Thatch and Wood. Build at least in Stone.
