Unlike knockout tames, the Featherlight must be fed by hand while conscious. Approach slowly and avoid sudden movements. There's a ~14-second cooldown between feedings, so patience is essential.

The Featherlight, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a notable presence across multiple maps. It falls within the Shoulder Pet classification.
Its base Stamina of 100 gives it tires quickly. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Featherlight has solid damage output. Health-wise, the Featherlight sits at 115 base, making it very frail. A base Weight of 70 means not built for hauling.
Taming the Featherlight doesn't require unconsciousness. Instead, sneak up to it and hand-feed its preferred food. Its preferred food is Plant Species Z Seed.
After taming, the Featherlight is commonly used for scouting and quick travel between locations. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 29°C and 32°C. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.05 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
