About

The Pteranodon is a flying dinosaur available on the base game without any DLC requirement. It is one of the earliest rideable flyers players can tame, making it a common sight on most servers and a frequent target for admin spawning when setting up starter kits or testing flight mechanics.

When spawning or managing this creature through admin commands, use the entity ID Ptero_Character_BP_C or the name tag Ptera. These identifiers work with commands like SpawnDino and GMSummon to place a Pteranodon at a specific location or directly in the world.

As a dinosaur creature type, it falls under standard dinosaur taming and stat rules. Admins adjusting per-dino taming multipliers or stat overrides in server configuration should target it using its name tag or class name accordingly.
