Advantages:

Can go invisible at night or when hanging (great for trying to steal wyvern eggs and then dying)

Can hang on walls (honestly completely op ability)

Gets blood packs from hit

Can make a liquid in inventory to get 30% tame progress and effectiveness when eaten next to a tame for 200 blood packs

Night vision (self flash bang)

Can hold creatures and when life sucking mode is turned on it deals pinching damage

Can fly (wow original)

Screech which locates creatures in view range

Disadvantages:

Ugly as all hell

On the Ford map, I use the Desmodus’s nightvison to scout out snails in the swamp and bring them back to base, even if you don’t have the resources to make sweet vegetable cake you can get a handful of cementing paste if your patient.

This guy can harvest cooked meat from the barrels that give cooked meat at high quantities but only those barrels so only use him on the barrels that give food

They can eat raw meat I know and blood packs but I don’t really know about raw fish or prime

You can use for wyvern egg grabbing with its invisibility power, you can get every egg in the trench just be careful, up so everyone can see it's a life changer.

I'd you have trouble taming get this, when you ride it and use drain life ability on Dinos you gain blood packs this will make it easier to tame more desmos and bloodstalkers. The best part is that they can produce elixir in their inventory I think it's 200 to 250 blood packs and it boosts taming by 30 percent on any Dino. Up please

If you sprint and look straight down, you can hold left or right and you'll start zipping around. Also, in case you see that you're about to hit water, you can grab before you get dismounted and your bat will hold you like a wild one does when you're taming it.

You can kill wyverns easily with the superior turning circle, just sit behind them as they try to attack you and get free xp and eggs.

Found a speed glitch with them! If you angle down but fly to your left or right you can get the downward speed in a horizontal direction! Pretty good, but not full speed

It looks exactly like the cover art. Once tamed it will enthrall you with its stand, Adorable Overload. Once Thralled, it will make you do it vampiric bidding and enslave the Onyxes around the map.

It is a giant vampire bat that will be coming to fjord. It will have echolocation that will track tames and tribe members and can flight dodge. It will also climb on trees and rocks. Go to survivetheark.com to see more. Up if helped

10/10 creature

“A helpful tip should include few more words”

Will possibly be able to use sonar ability

If you are on console. Hold left joystick top diagonal either right or left. Then angle right joystick towards your preferred direction and it will cancel out the flying noise. Hit up if it worked for you.

Carch in the second boy (yes I will will now) after second vote (fu)

The desmodus is a good tame and better as a beginner’s tame. Up please

Someone said that you can steal wyvern eggs with the invisibility, but I tried and they saw me after I took the egg anyway, because to grab the egg you must get off the desmodus, and the wyverns see it, so it may be good for getting in, but getting out is another story. upgrade speed for your wyvern stealing desmodus (if the server has flyer speed on)

From what I’ve read and seen, these things are pretty much better Tapejaras

FASTEST CREATURE IN ARK. While flying, aim straight down and move sideways. Legit flies at double the speed of wyverns.

The desmodus should be a reason ark is a horror game
