Luring it into a pen by walking near and gaining its attention is the best way to prevent you from losing it while finding more fish. The Hesperornis deals barely any damage with its attack, unless in water, so getting it to attack you on land which prevents it from running away is a good idea. Taming it with fish obtained by an Ichthyornis gives more taming percentage. Sabertooth Salmon seems to be more effective in taming than Piranha, which again seems to be more effective than Coelacanth. Another method is to use a Grappling Hook to drag them to your pen. Then, they'll walk into it without any effort. There is a 30-second cooldown between feedings.Ī good strategy to use is to put a fish in a foundation with a ramp and three railings, with one open side towards the birds. A small fish might give 2-3% taming progress, while a large one can give 9-10% or more. It appears type of fish and, most importantly, size affects how quickly it's tamed. You must kill fish and then bring it to the Hesperornis to tame it.

This bird uses an odd version of passive taming. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed. Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 0 6 would color the Hesperornis's "main body" magenta. This information can be used to alter the Hesperornis's regions by entering cheat SetTargetDinoColor in the cheat console. Hover your cursor over a color to display its name and ID. The colored squares shown underneath each region's description are the colors that the Hesperornis will randomly spawn with to provide an overall range of its natural color scheme. For demonstration, the regions below are colored red over an albino Hesperornis. This section displays the Hesperornis's natural colors and regions. Unlike a loon, it has vestigial wings that prevent it from flying, as well as small needle-like teeth to snatch fish - its favourite meal. Like a loon, it has a long neck, waterproof feathers, and strong webbed feet that propel it through the water at the cost of being rather helpless on dry land. The Hesperornis is a strange bird resembling a dinosaur mixed with a loon. They devour fish such as Coelacanths and are in turn hunted by predators and survivors who seek their organic polymer. They will bite any player that touches them before fleeing. Hesperornis is quite content to ignore animals and survivors, unless if they get too close for comfort.

One is a protein substance that is high in calories, and the other is an oily liquid that is effectively the same as the Oil found in the ocean! When rendered correctly, the eggs separate into two useful substances. Not particularly useful for hunting, and not being affectionate, Hesperornis is primarily kept for the eggs it produces after consuming much fish. It can easily hunt down fish and other small water-dwelling creatures. Hesperornis is barely a threat to any land-dwelling creature, as its legs are too short for it to move around effectively, but it is surprisingly fast in the water. Hesperornis spends most of its time gliding along the surface of the water, where it is much more maneuverable. It would be about two-thirds the height of a human if it stood tall, but it rarely does.

Possessing the appearance of a half-duck/half-dinosaur, Hesperornis is a medium-sized, fish-eating bird, common in the rivers and lakes of the island.
