Tips & Strategies

Honestly, they are not good tames (my opinion), they are a passive tame that is a "shoulder animal" but u cant put them on or shoulder, they just follow you, so they easily get stuck and u lose them.
Some people say that they are good for defending bases, hum.... They can be, but i think there are loads of other animals that are much better at doing this.
They dont farm sh#t.
They dont have any special atk ou abilitys.
They are small so u cant mount, but big enough so u cant put them on your shoulder, etc.
For me they dont serve any porpouse besides pissing u off in caves.
Iffff they got a buff, maybe it will be a nice tame, especialy if u can put it on your shoulder and have the ability to make the other cave creatures not agro on u, like the spider, arthro, etc.
But the way it is now, i think its useless
(Sorry for grammar mistakes)

I think instead of them just sitting there they should hang upside down
Hello people where did I find these bat like creatures I would really like some help are they in the lava cave up for yes down for no
I have 8 very high level bats protecting my Dino pen and during an offline raid on me the bats swarmed the three raiders and managed to kill all three of them. The had journeyman Flak and mastercraft weaponry. So in the near future I will be taming many more of them
I did a question about this creature I think 1 year ago and it is now at 99 and I am happy itβs close to being 100 also are these bats found in any cave and not just the lava cave up for yes down for no
(Im the person who submitted the tip starting with: This bat does the same amount of damage as the Carno 35 damage). To tame the bat, you must have bug repellent on to prevent the creature from attacking you. You must non-violently/passively tame it meaning you feed it by NOT KNOCKING IT OUT, the best food to use is raw prime meat.
I hope this is helpful because this creature is perfect for a bodyguard.
Tip: They do extra damage against armour and destroy it quickly making this tame useful for pvp.
Should these things land and when they land, you can pick them up and use them as a weapon?
If you breed these enough times, get lucky with mutations and all, the Oync becomes a force to be reckoned with, and in groups, will cause devastating amounts of damage.
Just forcetamed one and was able to ride it and it looked VERY silly.
Its a great creature for Defense and protecting bases.
This bat does the same amount of damage as a Carno 35 damage, and due to this being easy to tame (kind of, I will explain later), a pack of these are effective against players and SOME dinosaurs. There are some dinosaurs with a large AOE like the Bronto so avoid engaging in battles with those types of creatures. I also heard that they have a rabies skill which drains the health of the victim, up if itβs true, down if itβs false.
