Up for Real picture (these words are just so i can submit this)

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!

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! Up if this helps for shadowland taming!!!

I think it should be able to pick up horse 🐎 😡😡

Echolocation will probably work like snow owl and bloodstalker mixed together

Desmodus are immune to radiation. Tried and tested. Great for rock drake trench. :)

You can detect active bee hive using screech on them. The one with the Queen bee will be highlighted. Up if new

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 🦇

to change the ability to lifesteal for console is holding square while riding it up for more people to see

One of the greatest secret abilities of the desmodus is its ability to fly in caves. Unlike many flyers, the desmodus is actually able to fly without any setting changes required.

The sanguine elixir also imprints baby 30%

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

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

These can pick up some dinos even though dododex dosent say they can.

Only raw meat heals them, cooked does not work

I read a tip that these guys are amazing at doing wyvern trenches, and they are amazing at the fire trench, but my lv 287 was slaughtered in the lightning trench, so whatever you do don’t do the lightning trench with these guys.

It is the only flyer that can naturally fly in caves and the Realms.

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.

You can easily navigate most of the caves on The Island with a Desmodus. Beware of Purlovia in the Snow cave as there are sections where you have to fly low and the Purlovia can stun and dismount you. Go at night and use the invisibility buff. There is no other way that I will do the Lava Cave than on one of these. They absolutely shred Onycs, just fly backwards biting and watch the flying rats melt.

I'm just saying, but this thing will defo be a sick flyer to have and especially to mutate
