I've used this Dino for poison and fire wyvern eggs. Rock Drake eggs, and have killed many wyverns these are one of the best if not the best flyers

How to you pick things up with these
If you want a high level Desmo, tame a little dino like a moshop and leave him in passive next to a Desmo for it to pick it. Do it some time and it's your turn to be picked
Absolutely insane tame. Pump melee and stamina (and some health) for an absolute destroyer of everything. My girl Velvet has a kill count of 1 giga, 15 alpha raptors, 7 alpha carnos, 4 alpha rexes and 1 alpha basilisk (plus a bunch of rock drakes I killed when stealing eggs)
Always take much more blood packs so if some else desmosus attatck you it will eat blood packs and not you.
These are probably the best flier for taming for one reason: You can shoot while flying. And unlike tapejara, you do it from the drivers seat.
Juice stamina to be sure you can stay in the air, keep yourself hovering out of reach and tranq away. If it runs, you can chase it…

Juice stamina to be sure you can stay in the air, keep yourself hovering out of reach and tranq away. If it runs, you can chase it down. Smaller animals can be carried (but not as much as argy can). You could probably chase down most fleeing fliers too. Great for me as I cannot seem to get traps to work.
This is without thinking about the elixir which will save you a ton of time on taming.
Stock up on blood bags.
Grab some parachutes and some sleeping bags ( I usually bring 2 stacks of both)
Have the blood bags on you use the parachute as soon as you are picked up it will stay deployed until your feet hit the ground. (Works best with two players)
Those r one of the best dinos ever released moderate health with good dammage fast with an extreamly high ammount of weight able to disappear and steal life u can even kill a giga or a titan with it

These guy are great at stealing wyvern eggs, go invisible at night and boom easy wyverns or any egg you want. They can go in caves so feel free to get some rock drake or magmasaur eggs. Blood packs to tame of just let them eat at your health sacrificing an tamed animal with blood packs gives good taming effectiveness. Blood packs can be farmed by a desmodus and crafted into sanguine elixir which will give an instant 30% taming. Can dive silently, not as good as GRIFFINS but you gain good speed. They can latch on to ceiling or walls and can do a screech showing the location of dinos. (THIS WORKS BETTER AT NIGHT) I use mine to tame gigas since you can shoot on them. That's all I have to say
I know your gonna name you desmodus DRACULA don't lie
I found the best way to get blood and meat with this guy is fined a bronto and get right on the top of the back and it can't hit you there well the ones I tested didn't.and the blood can be used to farm blood stalkers cus you can put them all around your home…

To get high efficiency you need to let it eat a lot of blood.

To get high efficiency you need to let it eat a lot of blood.
Prepare a few hundred blood packs get a tame they can grab like mochops put the blood packs into its inventory and lead the desmodus to it. They will grab it and then let it fall down and fly around for a bit u till they grab it again. This will take a while every time it grabs it the taming efficiency will rise by a few percent. Sometimes the desmodus will fly to far and not go back then you need to guide it back to the mochops. Once taming efficiency is at 100% you need to let it grab you to finish the taming. For this it's good to have blood packs in your inventory and maybe a parachute as they will let you fall down once they are tamed.
Can get to and steal a Wyvern egg using the invisibility, however it’s way too slow to outfly the Wyvern directly. The Wyverns still smell you while you have the egg even during invis. Will probably die trying to steal the lightning and poison wyvern eggs in Fjordur.
Desmosdus Dracula is a creature who can be heavily used in pvp because of it being very fast having night vision and being able to pick creatures up.
It can dive like griffin but no damage
Their “sonar” screech allows you to do more damage. It’s like a debuff. Use the screech during a fight and watch your numbers increase.
Waterfall cave is an easy one. Get in on a dino, tease out the bats, lose aggro range to separate them then come back on foot and let any level pick you. Surrounding area is relatively safe.
Even easier when you have a bat. Do the same thing but this time kill the low level…

Even easier when you have a bat. Do the same thing but this time kill the low level ones when you’re out of the cave and then let your high level bat pick you. Good luck and don’t forget parachutes!

Baby Desmodus WON’T eat cooked meat, so don’t put that in your feeding trough or they will die like mine😞
Glider suit beats out Parachutes ALL DAY when you're dropped while taming - then you can steer them towards a safer point or even get away if you were grabbed by others than the ones you want to tame
They do not eat cooked meat; even as babies on a Maewing - use preserving salts to keep raw meat and blood bags on Maewing longer with less spoil, for babies
