If i could recommend exactly 1 tame for abberation, it would be yi ling. This thing is way too useful to ignore. Sure the taming process can be hard sometimes, but you CAN claim a baby yi ling so if you find a parent with a child you can just kill the parent and take the baby. Once tamed, these guys can glide, shoot feathers, and overall to me are just better rock drakes that can latch instead of climb.

Why does everyone make tips about its abilities from the fan submission of the creature.. wait for the dossier to release! Most of these features will most likely change! Or at least say “in the submission” instead of “it will have” it causes confusion, wait for wildcard to release the actual abilities, because they probably won’t be the same as the submission. (take Rhyniognatha or fasola for example)

-Wyvernian

Suggestion: (take notes wildcard!)

Since so many people are saying it's too similar to velos and rock drakes, make it so the yi ling's feathers have different abilities that match the spores on aberration, and one other just because it sounds fun:

Freezing feathers; slow the enemies with each hit, stacking like the rhynio ability.

Hallucagenic feathers: make the enemy hallucinate, with a certain amount of feathers needed to be shot at the enemy to trigger.

Pheromone feathers: attract reapers, and make nearby reapers less resistant. If near the player, stops the baby from killing you, and provides a passive xp buff to the unborn reaper

Yi Lings are op

They dive bomb like griffins

They shoot bullets like velonsaur

They hang on walls

There super hard to tame

The Yi Ling is excellent for stealing Rock Drake eggs on Aberration, it's small, turns tighter than rock drakes, and can dash up to avoid drakes following you. Mutate/level stamina and health if using it for this purpose. After 25 mutations into health, i was sitting at 5,600 health, and at 15 on stamina, it was about 3,400 stamina. It will be helpful, and is better at traversal than a drake.

Probably the best middle game tame in abberation purely because its effectively a more acrobatic rock drake! I actually like mine more than my rock drake! The trick is you need to get your technique correct with it if so than it will become your best friend and a formidable battle mount which will follow you up until you get a rock drake

A great early/midgame dino (I don't get why people are saying it's a early game rock drake) you will need to get used to the mechanics but what sets it apart from rock drake is it's feathers. Overall it's not good good but it's good for early game

It’s a velonasaur and a deinonychus. Honestly it’s definetly gonna be a great tame not just for abberation

I like this thing, definitely recommend for early game. It can get around pretty quickly, and it can shoot spines from above.

Reposting under proper dino (was posted under Ravager but helped me).

In case anyone is wondering what you need for the different feather types. Also Xbox hold X to change feathers (can’t have pet on shoulder or it brings up Shoulder pet options)

You forcefeed the Yi Ling different stuff for feather variants that have 5min effect:

-Congealed gas balls for **Volatile**

-Narcotics or Biotoxin for **Sedate**

-Tree sap for **Sticky**

-Nameless venom for **Poison**
