Rhyniognatha Drone

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Rhyniognatha Drone as a tamable, flying, omnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. Classified under the Flyer group.
Starting at 900 Health, it's quite durable. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it solid stamina reserves. Weight capacity starts at 1100, giving it an enormous weight pool.
This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot.
As a tame, the Rhyniognatha Drone excels at carrying heavy loads through the air, making base-to-base logistics much faster. Killing a wild Rhyniognatha Drone yields 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.98 Element plus 0.1 Element per level.
