The Quetzal is a challenging, flight-based tame that usually flees, requiring a fast, maneuverable mount or passenger setup to pursue and tranquilize it safely. Guide it over secure terrain or into a taming pen, then protect it from predators while it feeds. Once tamed, it serves as an exceptional aerial hauler capable of carrying heavy resources, large creatures, passengers, and extensive platform-saddle equipment for mobile bases, crafting, farming, defense, and exploration.
