Use a snow owl to deflate the gasbags and keep them from flying away and you heal them so you wont kill them with tranqs.

Use 6 or more stone dino gates like you would on argy (after update) to trap- with 2 doors on the end, then pump full of tranq darts.

If you're being raided by one of these, try to get to its head and shoot it, it will rapidly deflate and lose Oxygen and then be susceptible to turret damage. Get shredded!

This is basically a fat caterpillar. I heard they are like pack mules because they have a lot of weight capacity. They also look adorable.

This is the only flier that can be used on genisis. So if the amazingly fast bloodstalker is not your ideal transport, then this beanbag-balloon-bug is perfect for a slow paced surviver.

Did anyone else realize that the gasbag is based of of a water bear?

I dare you to look up what a water bear is
