The オニコニクテリス, a tamable, flying, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is well-known across multiple maps. It falls within the Flyer classification.
With 100% base Melee Damage, the オニコニクテリス has respectable melee power. The オニコニクテリス has 250 base Health - relatively fragile. With 100 base Stamina, the オニコニクテリス has low stamina reserves. A base Weight of 50 means minimal inventory space.
This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Raw Mutton.
As a tame, the オニコニクテリス works well as a reconnaissance mount, offering fast travel and a bird's-eye view of the terrain. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. A wild オニコニクテリス is worth 3 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.02 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
