This is one of the best tames in all of ark! It is the only flyer that can go in caves it has night vision it can go invisible and it has echolocation. It can get blood packs very easily. And it is the only way to craft sanguine elixer which can give an automatic 30% to either taming or imprinting ( note it can only be used once per imprint/tame) it also has a life steal effect and you can shoot while riding. It is also fast and has a dive ability kind of like the snow owl it can land on walls and roofs and also it has decent health and melee. Definitely worth the tame!
