Tameing these guys is IMPOSSIBLE you find one and either it just takes off or you scare it and if that dose really happen then you'll never find it because THEY FLY FOREVER

Why i can't chase quetzal with this thing?im not encumbered or anything else,can y'all give me a tips?

Who else tamed one because of neebs gaming?

Very easy to tame, but once tamed, you can use it to stick to walls.

This is actually the cheaper version of a griffin. It has everything a griffin can do but it does have two major flaws which make this tame pretty bad. Here are the flaws i’m actually talking about:

(1) Tapejaras cannot dive bomb. They don’t have the ability to.

(2) They cannot let the player hold any type of weaponry(except spyglass). You need to be on passenger seat to hold weapons.

Even if they have flaws, they do have some stuff which the griffin cannot do or does not have. This is what I’m talking about:

(1) Tapejara can hang on redwood trees or any type of hill or mountains vertically. This can help players to snipe other players(especially in pvp)

(2) Has a better stamina than the griffin. Normal griffins only have about 100-200 stam, tapes have more than 400 if you tame a high level.

(3) They have 3 passenger seats, the main(where the rider/controller of the mount sits), the back(near the tail), and the front(near the head). This can help tame dinos like the giga if you’re having problems.

(4) They have a decent speed while flying and they are relatively fast while sprinting in the air.

Thanks for listening! Bye!

Fun fact about Tapejara’s textures:

Tapejara’s materials are almost entirely matte, while Pteradon’s are rather glossy. This canvas-like shading negates the rendering of harsher shadows/highlights on the model, giving the diffuse (color/pattern) textures much less to visually compete with. The end result is vibrant colors that make Tapejaras a sight to behold at any time of day.

(Think of Tapejara’s textures being an image on printer paper and Pteradon’s being an image on glossy photo paper; which one is easier to read on a sunny day?)

I tamed one and pumped stars into movement speed these are very good flyers i tamed my first spino riding one of these and knocking it out. The Tapejara is a must have it can carry small Dinos and players it’s saddle can fit 3 people it is very good

One of the most skittish creatures in ark history.

Best underrated flyer, it's easy to maneuver around with this thing and it can latch onto walls, giant redwood trees and cliffs and this is the best way to tame dinos that don't have ranged, fly or climb abilities, I actually tamed a spino, rex, theris and so much more dinos with the use of a tape, would recommend taming, it's worth it, only downside is that it's a tad bit slower than a pteranodon and they're kinda rare, but with the use of a trap or bolas, you could easily tame one
