Don’t listen to those who say only blood packs or only meat for raising babies. Use both since there’s a cooldown for blood packs so it’ll eat meat in between.
Only meat= starve
Only blood packs= starve
Both= A sweet new flyer
When your at the cave get blood packs to heal when they sucking on you
Im not sure about anyone else but I've tamed 4 high level bats and according to dododex they all have low stam, very high food, high melee and very low weight, and average everything else im not sure if wildcard changed the bats in an update and dododex haven't yet
Love it except...when I am holding anything it will not attack. I was holding a GPS and another time a torch and I couldn't get it'l to attack. Attaching torch onto it's saddle works but I was killed by something stupid when I realised my mouse presses were not working. I was holding my GPS.
Use an imprinted health leveled moschops with blood packs to raise the effectiveness first. Then let it pick you up with packs in your inventory to tame. Easy way for great tame.
Harpoon net traps what you want for easy picking of the ones you don't. Let them pick you up with blood bags in your inventory. Will drop you so have parachute. Gather blood bags per hit and spoiled meat and raw meat upon eating corpses. Screech sonars enemies in front of you. Can fly in caves and latch onto walls
In the green crystal cave at the south western island (68.3, 37.0) there are multiple desmodus spawns with groups of up to four high on the ceiling. Kill any low levels and within minutes more will spawn in. No leaving render distance required! Got a 150 in minutes.
Wowee Desmodus trap.
So I’ve been having the problem on fjordur as literally a naked dude on a level 100 PT. I’m trying to get a desmodus to make things a bit easier and BAM! Idea. I have force cave flyers on so you need to turn that on for this. But the waterfall cave around 75 35 by a little village is perfect for this! They can’t get past wood so just set up a bunch of double door frames across the mouth of the cave, take your good PT and bait the suckers out! Then you can use the PT to cull any off you don’t want! Hope that helps up if it does!

Can fly in aberration? Hmmmmmmmmm
I was trying to Tame a 135 snow owl enar the Blue obelisk in Fjordur... A pack of Desmodeus came to kill me an my ptero. The strange thing is that I wasn't able to see them even the next times I went there. Now I hate them.
One of the easiest to tame and is the best flyer for me. Its a lot faster than an argy although it can only carry small dinos. Just bring a lot of blood bags and beds just in case. Also you can easily steal magmasaur eggs in caves using the invisibility.
