The name "Argentavis" is sometimes shortened to "Argy", "Argent" or "Argi" by players.The Argentavis can fit in any size of Dinosaur Gate.Tamed Argentavis will be targeted by Titanomyrma Soldiers and Meganeuras without hesitation.Argentavis are very susceptible to headshots and will usually go down after 1-5 shots with a ranged weapon depending on level.There is a typo in their dossier where it reads "to best creatures" rather than "the best creatures".Although i have now more recently seen them high in the mountains and specifically in the Northern parts of the island. Normally Argentavis can be found flying among the trees inland. I was once privy to seeing a rider of a Argentavis have his mount crash through the roof of a cliff side thatch home where the rider then had his bird of prey snatch up its stunned inhabitant and unceremoniously drop the poor islander to his death some 100 feet below on a collection of sharp rocks. Currently this bird is the Alpha predator of the skies as none can match its ability to carry supplies, travel far distances, or attack unsuspecting islanders. It is noteworthy that while Argentavis is both slower and less common than the Pteranodon, it has more Stamina, can remain in flight for roughly three times longer, and can carry more Cargo, making it ideal for long-range exploration. Argentavis are scavengers, so they will be attracted by dead bodies from a surprising distance away.Īrgentavis can be both tamed and ridden, with a saddle that can be crafted at player level 55. It is a highly aggressive creature, willing to chase players long distances for simply being within its vision. The Argentavis is territorial and will attack you if you get too close. This makes them the best creatures on the island for traveling or hauling cargo over long distances. It is a highly aggressive creature, willing to chase players long distances for simply being within its vision.Īrgentavis is actually slower than the far more common Pteranodon, but it has significantly more stamina, and can sustain flight for approximately three times as long. It is unknown if it adapted this stronger neck to deal with predators on the island, or if its lineage comes from before the stooped neck became common in carrion-eating birds.


Quite apart from what I would have guessed, Argentavis does not have the stooped neck typical of modern buzzards and vultures. Although they are not interested in many animals, Argentavis will attack any human within sight making them an aerial threat to many humans with basic equipment. It is a small consolation for the island's other avian Creatures, then, that Argentavis seems to have little interest in anything alive. Lording over the skies across the island, Argentavis Atrocollum has few aerial rivals.
