Lesser Tupangira

Tupandactylus meaning "Tupan's 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. The complete crest of T. navigans rose in a sharp, sail-like "dome" high above the rest of the skull. Tupandactylus navigans lack of anti-predatory adaptation against the shore animals like theropods. It was considered middle sized of the family Tapejaridae, and smaller than Tupandactylus imperator.

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.

Tupandactylus navigans may have largely been a terrestrial forager. Examination of the specimen GP/2E 9266 suggests that the pterosaur was capable of flight, but seemingly spent much of its time on the ground thanks to its large crest, longer forelimbs and neck, only taking short flights to possibly escape from predators.

This behavior was mixed with parrot and seagull, than a dingo for Tupandactylus navigans and docile to humans and other things.

Tupandactylus navigans was located in offshore areas in South America during Early Cretaceous known as Crato formation.

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 with some Germans and Japanese blended groups. These are from Brazil, 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.
