Drakeling

The Drakeling is a small, fairy-like dragon in ASA that rides on its owner's shoulder. It came with the paid ARK Fantastic Tames DLC released alongside Ragnarok, in four seasonal variants: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, each with its own buff and utility.

Taming

A passive tame. Hold a torch, since Drakelings are drawn to fire. One lands on your shoulder and asks for harvesting, crafting or kill experience; fill that bar, then feed it from the last hotbar slot, and repeat until it is tamed. Mounting a creature pauses the process. Cooked Prime Meat and Exceptional Kibble are its preferred foods.

Breeding

It lays eggs that hatch in about 5 hours. Seasonal variants can be crossed, but a baby keeps only one seasonal ability.

Uses

• Spring: turns seeds into Rare Flowers.
• Summer: cooks raw meat in its inventory.
• Autumn: its breath harvests resource nodes.
• Winter: food spoils much more slowly in its inventory.

Tips

It halves the weight of what it carries for you, slows your falls and stores experience from kills, which can be turned into Dragon Hoard Keys for hoard chests.
