Featherlight is a passive herbivorous creature in the Ark Aberration that can fly. Once approached, Featherlights will fly away with no intention of attacking making them the best choice for making a pet.
Their illumination can be used to help look for threats or enemies in the dark, and that is the only function they can serve other than being a pet. We have made this detailed guide to make it easier for you to locate and tame a Featherlight in Ark Aberration.
How to Tame a Featherlight?
Featherlight is not an aggressive creature. However, the main problem you will face while taming the Featherlight is him flying away. You can easily tame him by feeding him his favorite foods, which are listed below:
- Plant Species Z Seed
- Auric Mushroom
- Amarberry Seed
- Citronal Seed
Different foods have different taming times, and the most preferred food will give you a faster taming time. Taming with Plant Species Z Seed will require 2 minutes compared to 6 minutes with Auric Mushroom.
You can easily attract a Featherlight in Ark Aberration with its favorite food, and when it comes close to you to eat the food, you need to wait for it to land on the ground. You can then quickly trap it by building the stone foundation on top and the walls around it.
Feeding the creature by using the “E” button on PC or Y/Triangle if you’re on console, then wait until he is hungry again until the taming bar is finished, and the Featherlight will be yours.
In Aberration, the Featherlight spawns in areas where dangerous creatures are present. Therefore, there will be situations when either you or Featherlight will be killed by the enemies.
The solution to this problem is to build a cage where you and Featherlight can be safe from enemies. Another benefit of building the cage is that Featherlight cannot fly away from you during taming.
