Tips & Strategies
Helloooooo!!! :D Mobile user here! I used god console to get a few of them onto The Island, and they are AMAZING!!! So here is how to use them [Mobile controls] When interacting with them, enabling Nursing will auto-feed any puggles that come to their parents. Also, since they have no In-game gender, you can give them any name- and just PRETEND they are Male or Female! : > also, because of that, both parents will lay eggs. [baby platypuses are called puggles, so the babies are called puggles too.] [I hate the correct plural term for platypus. Platypuses??? It’s like saying octopuses- it’s correct but it SUCKS- ] Also, egg rarities are for different kibbles I guess.. Next, Riding Controls. If you just tap once to jump, you are gonna end up with the lamest, slowest jump. You gotta hold to jump. The longer you hold, the farther you go. There is a limit however, I just.. don’t know the measurement.. :| And while you are in the air, swiping up for the attack will make them spread out their fleshy membrane “wings” and slow down the fall. And if you swipe up while on the ground, there is a body slam attack, and after using it you skid for a bit then stop. But if you are at the coast in the shallowest part possible, when you do it you go for farther AND faster too! You can even continue onto land, which is.. odd but it’s fun nonetheless! And if you get them to high enough hp, you could wade around in the somewhat shallows or swamps and kill a ton of piranhas! As others have said, great for stealing eggs. Or you could just raise certain animals, but where’s the fun in that??

There’s a reason to why these can glide better than rock drakes. I’m an expert on squirrels myself and know Flying squirrels irl live in North America mainly and can glide 150 feet to even 500. They don’t fly, they glide. They glide by using the flaps of skin stretching between their legs and hands to catch the air. The flaps of skin are called Patagium. They use their tail to be a rudder to steer in the air to escape predators and have large eyes to see at night as they are nocturnal. Also, a prehistoric Flying squirrel named Maio patagium is a spitting image of a flying squirrel we have today. As both sail through the sky’s one in the Jurassic and one in the night of North America. Also, I believe a rock drake would be heavier than a flying squirrel. Anyways I didn’t just now search this up. I know TONS about squirrels and dinosaurs. Hehe not to brag or anything! So to you surprised about maewings flying better, id say it’s because of the reasons above. Ok that’s your daily brain pop! Phew sorry bout my info spree. I like squirrels and dinosaurs. “WE GET IT!”
