Careful not to confuse these with a microraptor. One will flee in fear, the other will rko you and eat your face
Fun fact: Archaeopteryx means βancient wingβ
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.

Tip : if you're playing on mobile and can't find them then go to settings and on preserve battery mode that will remove all weather effects and other unwanted things which will make it easier to find them .
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.
Found on the redwood forest on mobile, thought not that common.
You can also find these in the fuzzy trees in scorched earth by the small mountain
Won't assault you however if you go near it it will flee. This is because it's skittish in temperment. If you wish to tame keep this in mind
I had made a base in red wood and was up in the trees when I heard a scream, I look around me spot one of these guys are immediately knew that I needed one of these
