Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low health pool — vulnerable to burst damage; focus it down quickly.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

The Microraptor is a small, feathered glider with a nasty trick: it jumps at riders and knocks them off their mounts. Tamed, it rides on your shoulder.

Where to find it

It lives in forests on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Scorched Earth and Genesis Part 1 in both games, on Astraeos and Lost Colony in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.

Taming

A knockout tame and a carnivore. Knock it out and feed it meat. See the taming calculator.

Breeding

  • Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 26 minutes.
  • Temperature: 24 to 28 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 2.3 days at 1x.

Uses

A shoulder pet that can knock enemy riders off their mounts.

Tips

Ride with care in forests: a wild one can dismount you in the middle of a fight.
