Tapejara is a rare flyer carnivore known for its ability to carry small creatures while airborne. It can airlift smaller mounts such as Bloated Revenant, Bulbdog, Bunny Dodo, or Cat in its claws. This makes it a valuable transport and scouting mount for moving creatures across long distances or difficult terrain.

Tapejara must be knocked out to be tamed. Use a Bola, Chain Bola, or Bear Trap to immobilize it first. The best food is Superior Kibble, which tames it fastest. Raw Mutton also works if Superior Kibble is unavailable. It takes about 47 minutes to tame with 11 kibble. Use the calculator below for your settings.
