People say its not on mobile tell that to my glider
They are very fast and will only eat chitin. They run away when they see you or you tranq them. Breeding takes chitin too so have lots of chitin. They hide in trees and I have only seen females so Esther males are rare or I’m very bad at finding them
I also made the same mistake as the first dude to comment. To increase dino's glide, upgrade YOUR CHARACTERS MOVEMENTS SPEED.
Do not give them keratin to tame them! I made that mistake as the keratin and chitin are basically the same when it comes to crafting but these little bity chickens are very specific
Make sure you DON'T mistake them for Micros. These dudes run. I've accidentally killed one thinking it was a micro. Always use a spy glass to tell which is which. Finding these cute lil fellas is hard especially with all the thylas and terror birds around. To tame them you'll need Chitin so go kill some ants or dragonflies and then boom you have a lil buddy you can love forever, well y'know until they die or you quit.

They eat chitin because they they are an insectivore which means they eat insects and chitin is pretty much just insects.
Learned there half way up redwood trees have found 10 just sitting on trees
Alright, so basically I found one of these in the wild and REALLY wanted one. But with all the fun things in the Redwoods willing to take out anything that looks at them... Well you get the idea. But when I went to a dungeon and saw a Eerie one I wanted it SO bad. So I killed that one took its creature implant, revived it at one of the obelisks and tamed that glory bird up. Now I have a light up parachute!
These are NOT rare, just hard to find. Keep a close eye on the redwood trees, make sure to circle the trees, and listen for the noise they make.
As a test for science I tried to tame one with shell fragments from Genesis. Noted those don’t work.
On mobile they’re buggy, don’t try to shoot them with tranq arrows when they’re on land it doesn’t work
If u pick them up with an argy on Mobil
They will simple BUTTER out of your argy’s claws
Up this so you won’t wast your time like. I did
Archys actually eat chitin even after they’ve been tamed. Don’t make the same mistake I did and let it die of hunger trying to figure out what it eats…
Bring bolas when searching for them. These guys are fast, bring a crossbow or better to tranq them.
You can also find these in the fuzzy trees in scorched earth by the small mountain
