Overview
The Drakeling is a small flying carnivore tamed passively. It reduces the weight of inventory resources and can damage Thatch structures. This creature is primarily used for lightweight transport and scouting due to its flying capability and passive taming method.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Karkinos for fast deployment.
