Peck
Left click performs a peck. Damage is very low, but it can finish tiny prey, harass an isolated juvenile, or buy a few seconds if Ptera is surprised on the ground. Against a healthy adult, taking off is usually better than trading.

Gameplay guide
This profile gathers useful information for choosing this dinosaur, understanding its role, and preparing a Gateway session.
Play style
Opportunistic aerial scout
Pteranodon plays as an aerial scout and opportunistic fisher. It sees almost everything, chooses routes, and avoids most fights, but pays for every stamina or landing mistake. A good run is a clean loop: take off with space, climb, use G while flying to circle an area for free, then land carefully at the water's edge and use G to attract a fish before catching it with left click. Right-click water skimming remains documented with caution because it appears not to work currently.
Features
Active abilities
Surface latch
Holding right click while flying slowly into a vertical surface lets Ptera latch onto it. This is useful for landing on a cliff, trunk, or elevated point without sitting on the ground. Approach slowly and cleanly: too much speed mostly turns it into a crash risk.
Clean takeoff
Takeoff uses three spacebar presses: one first hop, then two presses to really launch into flight, like a 'one, then one-two' rhythm. Before landing, already know how to leave: direction, slope, space ahead, and available stamina. Ptera survives mostly by avoiding impossible landings.
Flight and glide
Once airborne, keeping a clean line and gliding costs far less than constant wing beats. Ptera should gain enough altitude, ease off when it can glide, then keep stamina for takeoff recovery or an emergency escape.
Free circling flight
Pressing G while flying enables automated circling. This matters a lot for stamina economy: Ptera can orbit an area, watch a fight, monitor a water source, or wait for an opening without constantly correcting its flight path.
Shore fishing
Stand at the water's edge and press G to enter a fishing stance, with Pteranodon holding its wings in a circle. After roughly 60 seconds, a fish approaches the shore: watch the water and try to catch it with left click as soon as it comes within reach. This method leaves Ptera stationary and exposed, so choose a clear bank and check the water before starting.
Water skimming (unconfirmed)
Caution: this method, described in older official notes, appears not to work in the current version. It involved holding right click while flying close to a water source, passing over fish ripples, then releasing right click on the prompt to catch a schooling fish. Treat it as a historical mechanic until its current behavior is reconfirmed.

Attacks
- Very light peck
- Shore fishing with G, then a left-click catch
- Water-skimming fishing — old mechanic, unconfirmed
- Opportunistic small prey
- Light harassment on weak or distracted targets
Strengths
- Flight gives it the best travel freedom in the current roster
- Excellent scout for finding bodies, groups, migrations, and danger
- Can avoid many land threats by choosing aerial routes
- Can attract a fish from the shore with G, then catch it with left click
- Can observe for a long time with automated circling without burning stamina
Weaknesses
- Extremely fragile if caught on the ground or near the water
- Heavily depends on stamina to take off, flee, and stay safe
- Very low direct damage against most adults
- A poor landing can doom it even without a fight
- Fishing exposes it to Deinosuchus and too-low flight lines

Official notes
Selection-screen data: Preferred Food SchoolingFish, Crab, Clam, Chicken, Hypsilophodon, Bullfrog, Rabbit, Troodon, Seaturtle, Psittacosaurus, Beipiaosaurus, Pterodactylus. Basic Max Weight 90.0, Basic Max Speed 1050.0, Basic Max Bite Force 20.0, Basic Max Group Size 6. Official patch 0.7.85.04 adds Pteranodon as an EVRIMA playable class alongside Deinosuchus. Older official notes describe skimming as a Pteranodon fishing method: hold right click while flying close to a water source, pass over fish ripples, then release right click on the prompt. This confirms the historical mechanic, but not that it still works in the current version. Official notes around its arrival detail flight controls: takeoff, climb, dive, landing, surface swimming, resting, and stamina use during aerial movement. Official patch 0.20.109 adds automated Pteranodon circling, with G as the default key while flying.
Community notes
Evrima Quick Guide matches the selection screen: 90 kg, about 37.8 km/h from the raw speed value, 20 bite force, and a pack limit of 6. Raw speed 1050 converts to 37.8 km/h with the 0.036 multiplier. The EVRIMA wiki describes Pteranodon as a fragile flying carnivore focused on scouting, fishing, and opportunism against small targets rather than direct combat.
