There on lost island but can't take them for some reason you can find the mushrooms at that castle near the red woods

But for some reason they don't tame when you press y

This awesome tame not only lights up the room, but alerts you when max level tames and enemies are nearby. Keeps away nameless too.

The most adorable little bastards this side of The Overlook. Eat Ascerbic shrooms to tame, and eat meat after taming.

My clan found 5 of these last night in Valguero's aberration radiation zone.

In gen 2 these are pretty easy to find in the Rockwell area, but to find one that has no aggressive creatures around it is the hard part.

GLOWTAILS EAT MEAT ONCE TAMED, this includes babies. Ignore anyone talking about seeds, mushrooms or berries they're idiots and clearly haven't tested what they're talking about.

THEY EAT SEEDS. THE WIKI IS CORRECT.

To activate/deactivate the light without removing it from your shoulder, hold 't' on PC and in the emote menu choose 'light.'

(Abberation) You can find these creatures in the cave to the left though the water next to the drop off when you come from the portal.

It is found in artifact caves but be careful I died like seven times trying to find one and I named him Sparky

44 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Dec 16, 2017   Report

Can be found in caves. There is a cave near the portal spawn

Most beautiful lamp-creature on Ark

Glowtails are one of the four lantern pets. Found in artifact caves, these little guys love Plant Species Z seeds (Heal plants),and your everyday ascerbic mushrooms. It's an easy passive tame. But there are a LOT of bad things in caves you don't wanna get close to, like megalosaurs or arthropleura. Happy taming!

Go to the portal and there will be a lake go on the island then look around for a cave next to it it will be there ;)

These guys already have a kibble in the wiki:

1 Glowtail egg

3 Aquatic mushrooms

1 Cooked fish meat

2 Mejoberries

3 Fiber

1 25% full water container

You can find these in the caves of aberration but you can also find them on gen 2

The best way to tame them is with plant spices z but you can also tame them with abserbic mushrooms

glowtails also have the best charge regen of all the glow pets

And last but not least glow tails lay eggs used in simple kibble

You can use them as a flashlight or a lantern.
