Use a snow owl to deflate the gasbags and keep them from flying away and you heal them so you wont kill them with tranqs. UP THIS COMMENT

Use 6 or more stone dino gates like you would on argy (after update) to trap- with 2 doors on the end, then pump full of tranq darts.
^ this so others can see

If you wanna fly longer on these bad boys upgrade oxygen

Pick it up with a wyvern and get your friend to tranq it. Just be careful because they can take fall damage.

This is the only flier that can be used on genisis. So if the amazingly fast bloodstalker is not your ideal transport, then this beanbag-balloon-bug is perfect for a slow paced surviver.

This is basically a fat caterpillar. I heard they are like pack mules because they have a lot of weight capacity. They also look adorable.

They do still take fall damage, I learned the hard way

Did anyone else realize that the gasbag is based of of a water bear?

I dare you to look up what a water bear is

They can be found in wasteland on extinction and in cave in space on genesis

So bc most comments are from pve players here a pvp tip use them for soaking have them mate boosted veggie cakes yuty roar a deadon on passive healing and a good saddle no heavie or auto will stay in your way with a good gasbag and a food stat deadon

You can find in Lunar cave on Genesis map. Spawns at entrance

What you have to do to tame this fat caterpillar is freeze it with a snow owl and keep freezing it until its knocked out

Just trap them with behemoths and use snow owl to deflate, shoot a tranq, mount the snow owl again and repeat until tamed.
P.d.: And the end, he will start trying to get away and then u can shoot him like 3 times before he inflates again

Gasbag is also in crystal isle Isle

Fun fact:
They are believed to be part of the Tardigrada phylum, a group of extremophile microgranisims that can survive literally any environment, from extreme cold to extreme radiation, these guys are the hardiest of animals.

They can inflate and then they can do three things, do a huge jump that will deflate them, float/glide, and do a knockback attack that is similar to the diplodocus' only attack. They can also seat more than one person at a time

They have a damage resistance when inflated, so use a snow owl to freeze and deflate. After latest update, they can no longer be picked up or hit with bola. Heavily suggested to clear area of hostiles before KO. If timed right, you can keep gasbag in same area while tranqing by alternating freezing and shooting.

Keeping oxygen in reserve prevents fall damage

Inhale to increase damage resistance, get a decent level saddle, back up slowly into turrets, tank all of the enemy's turrets

Don’t use vaults just breed these
