Easily the best tame for travel. Fastest creature in the game.

Amazing for wyvern eggs, just find an egg, use the maewing’s parachute ability to land near it, grab the egg and glide away. You’ll out-speed the wyverns in no time.

I spent an hour looking for them on ground in the red woods but I didnt realize they mostly spawn in the water so bring your snow owl to find the most and check the lakes.

These guys seem useless at first, but are great tames! They’re found on two maps, in one biome for each map. They’re found on gen 2 and lost island, eden biome on gen 2 and on lost island, the grass platoi areas.

They lay eggs of different qualities, from basic to exceptional! This allows for great and easy taming! They are also the first genderless BUT breed-able creatures, thus being extremely unique! They are mammals, thus they breed with a gestation period after the breeding! They are great tames and can be used for many things! They are the fastest creature you can get on lost island, making it easy to get wyvern eggs if the wyverns are distracted! The taming is pretty simple thankfully! Best way to tame them, is by netting them and then building a trap around them, then nocking them out. They’re saddle is easy to craft and unlocked early, thus this can be a very good early tame! To end this of, I’d like to tell you all that this creature is based of a flying squirrel and a platypus! For now, hope your ride with the colony ship stays steady! And remember! Keep surviving! And for one of these touching on the other genesis creatures, just let me know, by taking this to ten ups!

Thanks for reading, survivors!

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!”

Maewing should have a Tek saddle that refrigerates baby food

They should have a Tek saddle that refrigerate the food you put in it We need to make wild card add this😭

One thing to note when using the meeting for taking care of babies is that they will eat out of the maewings inventory so the maewings is a feeding trough if it's caring for the baby dino.

My friend and I were in different tribes in smalls and he threw out his baby drake while I was on a maewing. I clicked the right joystick and boom it stole them and put them into my tribe and it got imprinted as mine even though he had imprinted them before

PSA: you have to put food in the Maewing’s inventory (like a trough) to use it in nursing babies. My 2 dead deinochyus’s babies want everyone to know that.

This thing raises baby dinos for you so you don’t have to do the work

If anyone’s curious where these spawn with a mod to have them on the island map. They spawn in the north area of the redwoods and would only spawn for me when I was close.

Maewings give every type of kibble egg.

I learned this by breeding them. They would give basic, regular, simple etc eggs.

You can tell by the color of the spots!

When taming these, tame high levels because you want a high weight stat so they can carry more berries or meat, then level all points into "nursing effectiveness" which extends the range of how far the "trough" effect will reach. BEFORE putting babies in their care, turn on "enable nursing or baby feeding trough" it's in the radial wheel and IS NOT enabled automatically. Then make sure the trough icon appears above the baby's name. Fill the maewing's inventory with appropriate baby food as you would fill a normal trough for the baby (meat for meat eaters, berries for berry eaters, Wyvern milk for Wyverns, ambergris for Magmasaurs, etc) because the code makes the maewing itself act as a trough for the baby so fill it like a trough.

When mating maewings together, both act as female and drop eggs from each other. The mating cool down timer only means it won't drop another egg until the timer runs out, but that maewing can still act as a male and breed with other maewings that are ready to mate. The maewing that no longer has the cool down timer will drop an egg.

It's tricky to breed them all at once in a large group because they will all automatically breed to each other randomly. You must pair them up together alone to guarantee a 50/50 chance at a certain stat if you are breeding for stats.

Pro tip: pre fill the maewing with baby's food and enable nursing on it and take the maewing up to the egg incubator. When you hatch your eggs, imprint them and then use the maewing to scoop them up into the baskets for easy transport.

Knock out tame.

Eats berries or meat to tame

Upgrading Nursing effectiveness also reduces the amount of food the babies consume

Up so more will know
