CreatureShoulder Pet

The Spring Drakeling is a small, flying carnivore tamed as a shoulder pet. It provides a unique passive ability that activates during specific survivor activities. This dino is used to boost progress in crafting, harvesting, and combat through its special bonding mechanic.
It can be carried by flyers such as Quetzal or Phoenix for aerial transport.

Feeding requires the current experience requirement to be met. Each successful feed changes the required experience type and resets experience progress. During waking taming, progress decreases after inactivity while the Drakeling is unmounted.
Taming a Spring Drakeling uses a special passive method. Light a torch and hold it out; the Drakeling will land on your shoulder. While perched, perform actions like crafting, harvesting, or killing creatures to fill the taming bar.
No narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.
