You can use the breath attack to farm stone from rocks and thatch from trees. Up the tip if it helped and have a great day!

Just learned about this, dont sleep on these little critters, every drakeling has the ability to store xp from the player, upto I believe 30k. If you then take that stored xp and give it to a creature, the creature not only gains a ton of levels but you will also receive a new item called the dragon hoard, you use it like a treasure map, and the more xp you give to a creature at once the better the hoard will be. Im talking about massive massive payout. I've gotten kibble from every dragon hoard so far as well. Definitely worth having on your shoulder while out and about just for that.

Quick tip, go hunting for alphas. They definitely give the most stored xp to the drakeling. !!!

Summer drakelings will cook meat in your inventory. The others dont

From what I read, each variant can give different buffs and have different abilities;

I only tamed the The Winterly Drakeling so here’s what I learned with it:

It is found in the snow biomes.

It can slow your fall so you don’t take fall damage. (You can toggle it on or off).

It can give it’s winter buff to allies (10% damage increase and +100 insulation). It gives it to you when on your shoulder and buff your mount.

It has a blue breath attack, which can be used while in your hand or assist you when you’re fighting on your shoulder.

It accumulates xp and can give it to allies, including creatures.

To cycle between the breath attack, give buff or give xp, simply have it in your hand (like Cosmo it gives a weapon to equip on your hotbar) and press R, then right click on your target.

I’ll find the other variant and check out their abilities!

If you have any Heavy Miner’s Helmets just laying around, you can equip one to your Drakeling. When you equip the Drakeling to your hotbar and select it, you’ll have a flashlight that you can attack with. (Highly recommend having helmets with the highest durability possible to provide you and your Drakeling with light for as long as possible)

They nerfed spring drakelings so they won’t heal you when you are taking damage making them not nearly as good as they were.

Winter drakelings are fridges that you can pull from at any time while on your shoulder. Keep all your kibble on them along with algae and mutton and you will always have taming food ready when you need it. Shocking tranqs? Nope. Sad.
