I was wondering why it wasn't landing on my shoulder even with a regular torch equipped like the comment suggested. I finally realised that it was because I haven't bought the DLC they are in. So yeah you have to pay if you want one of these.
Drakeling
How ARK players tame and knock out the Drakeling: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.
While taming it, don’t hop on a mount or go in the water. This will make it hop off your shoulder and interrupt the taming process.
It is NOT a knockout tame. Use a torch to lure it in, then do whatever it says (just know it's XP related, like crafting, killing, etc) after you fill the bar up, you feed it using the last slot of your inventory (duh) keep repeating this and it will soon tame! Have fun…

Go out with the scanner to find the direct links and then whip out your torch when you get close and it'll land on your shoulder. Then it'll indicate what it wants you to do for experience either kill something craft something or harvest something. I found harvesting with a ascendant pic on wood to get thatch is very good XP and goes quick. I carry and ascendant shotgun for when it wants me to kill something. The shotgun works great because it's very fast and powerful. As far as the crafting goes carry the materials with you to make standing torches. Excellent XP and not too heavy to carry you can just throw away the torches that you make. Follow these tips and you'll have many many drakelings.
For those of you that have the reusable things like torch and bola. You CANNOT use the reusable torch for taming. It only works with a regular primitive torch.
Morter & pestles are perfect for taming these they max out the bar in one craft. Carry a stack of hide, harvest stone during the gathering phase and craft morters during the crafting phase.
Equip a torch it will land on you and give you tasks complete
The spring drakeling requested you earn exp by doing tasks
Crafting
Harvesting
Or killing dinosaurs
You have 2 mins to complete the task then you feed it meat and repeat till tamed.
Approach with a torch out and it will land on your shoulder. It will then require you to gain a certain type of XP. So far I've come across crafting, harvesting and killing as requests. Once your XP fills the bar to 100 you can feed it exceptional kibble from the last slot…

Once your XP fills the bar to 100 you can feed it exceptional kibble from the last slot of your hotbar. Rinse and repeat until tamed.
They prefer Exceptional Kibble (Yellow one)
When you’re taming these, they’re gonna have you either CRAFT, KILL or HARVEST - if you don’t like the one it chooses, you can throw it off you to have it reroll for another task.
I recommend you build a 1x1 to throw it in or else it’ll fly off and you gotta chase it.
You need to use a vanilla torch. It will not come to a reusable torch!!!
To tame, use a basic torch. I’ve found that if you have a cosmetic equipped to the torch (like the sparkler skin) it won’t land on your shoulder. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me why it wasn’t working, even after clearing some dinos out and harvesting corpses.…

1: Bring a torch (and equip it)
2: It'll come towards you and get on your shoulder
3: You'll now need to get one of three sources of xp; Harvest xp, Killing xp, or Crafting xp (for harvesting, chop down trees and for crafting do sleeping bags)
4: Once you fill up…

4: Once you fill up the appropriate bar with the corresponding xp, put yellow kibble into your taming slot (I used cyan) and feed it.
5: Repeat steps 3 & 4 until tamed
Use the cloth head armor for your crafting. Only requires fiber so easy to tame without needing a lot of material. Have a pickaxe or axe as well for the harvesting prompt, recommend pickaxe for the flint as it will way you down less. Then of course a sword or pike for the kill…

You cannot be on a tame or get on a tame if you want to tame these guys they’ll ignore you or just hop off your shoulder
Equip a torch to bring the drakeling to you, and then follow the prompts within the time limit to feed and gain taming progress.
They are cross breed able. Get eggs that are of the kind with most stats passed it seems
In order to tame one of these little guys, you’ll need to hold out a torch. It will then land on your arm and prompt you to complete one of three tasks before you can feed it: Kill, Harvest, or Craft things to gain XP. After each task, it will give you the option to feed it…

From my testing, its preferred food is Exceptional Kibble.
Side note — all four seasonal variants of this creature:
• Spring
• Summer
• Autumn
• Winter
— tame the exact same way. Good luck and happy taming!
— Ark Analyzed
From what I can tell there are 4 different types of these guys found at different areas of the map. To tame them you take a torch and stand under it and it will land on your shoulder. Once it is on your shoulder you'll be given task to complete such as kill…
From what I can tell there are 4 different types of these guys found at different areas of the map. To tame them you take a torch and stand under it and it will land on your shoulder. Once it is on your shoulder you'll be given task to complete such as kill experience,craft experience,harvest experience. You will be given a timer to complete each task and if you don't the tame effectiveness will decrease and the drake ling will jump off your shoulder. Make sure to have mutton(you can use any meat) or exceptional kibbles in your last hot bar slot as you will need to feed your drake ling after you complete each task. Rinse,wash,repeat and you have a drakeling.
Lure them onto your shoulder with a torch.
Will latch on and ask for XP, either kill, craft, or harvest.
Feed taming food once done.
Repeat until tamed.
