How I wonder what you are

Up above the ground so high

Like a nightmare in the sky

Step 1: put mutagel or mutagen in your last item slot.

Step 2: approach from outside of its light area, and click E.

Step 3: die a horrible death

Step 4: I wasted your time

What I've learned from battling these to find an R-Reaper:

1. As you've probably read, they project a spotlight passively, if you find yourself within this cone of light, prepare for a fight.

2. THEY HAVE A SHIELD. Save your ammo/element, their shield only comes down for approximately 1-3 shots of a tek rifle, or one shot of a shotgun. If working with another player time your shots & shoot together.

3. It's either summons or spikes! They will shoot a round of spikes at you OR they will shoot a slow moving purple ball down towards the ground, causing dinos to spawn. Unless the spawns are fliers just ignore them, stay in the air, and continue the fight.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The shield will stay up until it finishes the attack or finishes spawning in dinos, stay on the move until then!

Good luck and stay vigilant my friends

In creative, this has a tame icon. It can be tamed and ridden with no saddle until cryopoded. Then it’s not rideable. It can shoot the bomb and summon corrupted creatures that I can’t forcetame. Works with megapithicus.

These things are like watch guards. They have a light that shines from them that when you go in it they summon R variant creatures that are super hard to kill. It also has “babies” that appear after acquiring mutagen or spawning naturally, these swarms are a MUCH worse version of the insect swarm. Good luck to anyone encountering this!

They cannot be tamed, only forcetamed

I’m pretty sure that these are supposed to be antibodies or some other immune cell

"If you can forcetame it that must mean the devs wer planning to make it a tame in the base game right? Cause why would they have the forcetame"

To the person who said this, dislike this if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can forcetame anything in the game including bosses. So not everything was meant to be tameable.

When you forcetame there rideable

once they spot you with their light they shoot some kind of projectile and that spawns different creatures that will attack you i’ve come across snow owls, bats shadowmanes, quetzals, sabertooths, argy etc. best way is to not get spotted if u get spotted the light will glow red
