You can STEAL WYVERN eggs using the invisibility ability at night

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

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

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

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!

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

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

Would be op on gen 1 for bloodstalkers because desmo = blood packs

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

Only raw meat heals them, cooked does not work

Hands down the best flier I've ever tamed I used it to kill rexes, allo packs ,and deinychus and had full heal when I got to base. I hight recommend but it can only get blood ,raw meat ,and spoiled meat no muten , hide ,prime meat ,or pelt.

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

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

If you only have a low lvl desi, Diplo are basically walking blood banks. You can easily get a couple hundred blood packs without taking any damage. Can also leave the Diplo alive for more at a later time.

These Oversized Onycs are extremely easy to tame for such a versatile and powerful mount, if you have enough bloodpacks they’re literally a guaranteed tame, as when they pick you up they don’t damage you, and if there’s other bats they can’t damage you either if another bat has already picked you up.

I was shocked to say the least when I tamed a low level to farm blood packs for higher level Desmodus ,

shocked at how powerful it was even at such a low level, 25 when i tamed it, I was able to take down 2 high level Stegos, 145 I believe and the other tek and 95 speaking of level 95s, I also destroyed a level 95 Carno as well as a level 145 trike that couldn’t reach me but I could reach it ,

Now that I’ve got some high levels, just now tamed a female level 145 now level 186 after taming ,with really nice Easter colours too , and a male that’s a good level, 122 after taming from not sure what level since that one came out of nowhere, lol.

I’m back at base with them both as typing this and just might breed them, the fact they can breed is also crazy considering they 1.Are capable of Harvesting an infinite supply of blood packs.

2. Are Overpowered,( I love them for it)

3. can go invisible at night or while latching, ( if you play pvp this could be real useful)

4. Able to shoot off of them while riding including when they’re latched,

5. Did I mention when latched they don’t even drain stamina?

6.Did I mention they’re overpowered ????

7. Can pick up players and some creatures , combine that if you play pvp and it’s night you can ambush someone off their Giga or something and kill them easy,( not sure if Desmodus can be detected with parasails if they would have a parasail with them or something)

It can only go invisible when latching onto a wall or roof, or from 9:00 PM to 5:15 AM

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.

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!!
