This is one of the best tames you can get, dont lose it!!!

Pros:

- good stats hp/damage/weight/stamina

- good fly speed

- can get invisible in the night

- screech

- can latch on any place even trees (careful, the stamina recover is slow when it is latching and if got attacked they loose the wall)

- collect a lot of blood, meat and spoiled meat

- you can use the blood to make elixirs that increase the taming efficiency in 30%( just 1 elixir per tame)

- can shoot while flying

- fast landing

- fast hp recovery

Cons:

- collect too much spoiled meat

- they gathering is limited ( dont get hide, prime and other things)

I dont have any real bad thing to say about desmodus, they have a lot of pros (some I dont listed) and even the cons are not bad, are useful and balanced. Desmodus eat meat, but prefer blood and it recover their hp with this. Now I cant live in ark without one!!

On lost colony get blood packs from deinotherium i got like 40 blood packs from one

Fun fact: if you feed the elixir to a baby, juvenile or adolescent Dino even if it’s not ready for it next imprint go into the baby’s inventory and eat the elixir in your inventory and it will give the Dino a 30+ imprint bonus.

Do you have to give it blood packs ???

To farm blood packs insanely fast find a high level doedicrus and attack with desmodus so easy...

Theese things are busted, a good imprinted Desmy will drain stamina so slow you barely have to worry about it, natural nightvision, can fly in caves (and on aberration if you spawn one in ((fliers usually don't let you even hop on on AB), can turn invisible and latch to walls and ceilings you can use the echolocation to detect any enemies you can't see. They naturally regen health a little when attacking (you don't have to use the lifesteal just regular attacks regen health), they collect insane amounts of bloodpacks and from what I've observed as long as they have bloodpacks in their inventory they can consume them on a 30sec cooldown to heal 2000 health. They deal decent damage and are insanely maneuverable so they can take on absolutely any threat too. You can use weapons on the backs of them. They fly fast and can pick things up (from my observation their carry ability is in-between an argy and a griffin) also I can pick up a deinonychus WITH THE RIDER STILL ON IT with one (Saved my friend and his Deinon from lava once) and that's all the not that well documented stuff on this. This thing is insane.

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.

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.

You can make a Sanguine Elixir in its inventory it takes 200 blood packs it’s very useful for taming as it raises any creatures taming 30 percent it can be used by walking up to an unconscious creature and using it in your hotbar

Baby bats will eat blood packs AND RAW meat and RAW prime meat like their parents, but raw meat will only restore 10 food for both babies and grown Desmodus and raw prime will restore 50 food for both. Neither will eat cooked meat or cooked prime meat. Blood packs restore 200 food for babies and adults.

Turns out you’re fast flying backwards this came in handy getting wyvern eggs

It is good for blood packs, but is absolutely phenomenal for spoiled meat

If you want to raid Wyvern nests with them, make sure they have blood packs in their inventory! They can drink them (you can't force this, they do it on their own) for a lot of hp. It could save your bat's life.

So based off what we know Desmodus is a vampire bat, speculating that it will have an echolocation ability and be able to drink blood (somewhat like blood wyvern) it would be interesting to see if it could be used in some of the larger caves not necessarily as a flyer but as a climber along with possible attachment to enemies (like deinonychus), all just speculation, I hope people love it! :)

The sanguine elixir also imprints baby 30%

I think it's most likely gonna be like the parasurs danger sense but its also like a Tek helmet for blood.🦇🦇🦇

This bad boy gathers Blood Packs directly from creatures even while the target is alive. Extremely helpful for taming Bloodstalkers!

They’re probably one of the best tames in the game but they’re only on one map so sad

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

ELIXER WORKS ON IMPRINTING !!

Tested on gachas and deinonychus and desmodus !!
