Desmodus can be tamed with blood packs, it’s a passive tame, and you can give it smaller tames of yours to make its efficiency go higher for more levels.

The Desmodus can harvest spoiled meat in absurd amounts, the bigger the creature, the more spoiled meat you get, which is good for getting narcotics.

Desmodus can also harvest blood packs from creatures, without killing the creature. If you have 200 blood packs in the Desmoduses inventory, you can craft a sanguine elixir, which is good for taming, as it raises the taming bar by 30. It can also be used for imprinting + passive taming.

At night, you can use echolocation, which turns the Desmodus invisible, meaning you can easily steal Wyvern eggs, Drake eggs, etc.

The Desmodus also can fly in caves.

THE ELIXIR IT MAKES DOES WORK ON PASSIVE TAMES!!! You just have to feed it the required food first and then you can use the elixir!

Echolocation will probably work like snow owl and bloodstalker mixed together

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!

Only harvest's regular meat and spoiled meat, don’t try for prime or mutton, just goes straight to spoiled meat. ^^^

These guys are super good. They can go through cave’s without dismount, immune to radiation and capture rock drake egg easy as pie on fjorder. Tame them as soon as you can 🦇

You can use tools like guns or crossbows of their backs. And since they can also latch to walls you can latch to a wall and shoot other dinis
