I hope these guys get a rework soon, the landing takes forever and you can't use anything else while using them, however if you need sap ASAP tame one, set on wander, and put it next to a tree in the Redwoods, they'll instantly climb up and overtime collect a good amount of it. If either you have the same opinion or find this helpful (or both), please up.
Oh archaeopteryx, you little chicken on steroids. This little guys is just a whole load of fun. They can carry you over vast distances, but also double as a, hey you seem to be falling, lemme help you out. However, getting down can be a bit of a problem. Otherwise... WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO OH YEAH IM RIDING THE SKY USING THE POWER OF A LITTLE CHICKEN THING

Use these to complete the ‘Thin Air’ pursuit! They don’t count as a mount and will work as a parachute. Get to the start of the volcano path (you can use a flier to do that, as long as it’s before you start the pursuit) first then climb up the volcano while holding an archaeopteryx. Keep a bodyguard around or drop your archaeopteryx somewhere flat while you quickly fight off the danger. The pursuit is made easy.
