Greater Tupangira

Tupandactylus meaning "Tupan finger", in reference to the Tupi thunder god. Tupangira is the Tupi or Tupinambá word for Tupãgûyrá, which means “Tupan's bird.”

Tupandactylus is notable for its large cranial crest, composed partly of bone and partly of soft tissue. The genus Tupandactylus possibly contains two species, both bearing differently sized/shaped crests that may have been used to signal and display for other Tupandactylus, much as toucans use their bright bills to signal to one another.

Some Tupandactylus specimens preserve evidence of a keratinous beak at the jaw tips. However, this was restricted to the crested portion of the lower jaw, as one specimen also preserves pycnofibres (simple feather-like filaments) covering the jaws further back.

Recommend them for groups because they are good at picking up unsuspecting players and murdering them. You can solo tame a giant pterosaur and kill a large sauropod while riding in Tupandactylus' back seat and using your compound bow. Simply switching seats for a short while will replenish stamina if you're losing it.

It's possible that Tupandactylus navigans and Tupandactylus imperator were mostly terrestrial foragers. The pterosaur was able to fly, but due to its huge crest, larger forelimbs, and neck, it appeared to spend most of its time on the ground, only flying briefly to presumably avoid predators. This is supported by an examination of the specimen GP/2E 9266. In addition, it did not adopt the same kind of terrestrial stalking lifestyle as azhdarchids are thought to have done.

If you eat rare flowers the Tapejara will become aggressive towards you. Excellent for taming.

The remains are the first evidence of many species having settled together and were found in a single concretion of the Romualdo Member, Santana Formation, Northeast Brazil.

A saddled flying creature, at least three bolas, poisonous flowers, clubs or bludgeons, a bow or crossbow (with tranq arrows, or else you will kill it), a lot of meat (like, 20-40, only to tame eat, you probably will want more as he will get hungry after tamed), or at least 4-7 Prime Meat, and narcotic tranquilizers are all necessary.

The original Tupi Warfare Group from Brazil and Bolivia, which consists of Tupi people from their own group from Brazil with some Germans and Japanese blended groups, uses the Tupandactylus as their insignia on their banners. The banner of the Tupi Warfare Group differs significantly from the typical Roman legion banner designs.
