In ARK: Survival Ascended’s Ragnarok expansion, four season-themed Drakelings captivate players with their striking designs. These reptilian companions adapt to specific biomes: frost-covered areas host Winter variants, Spring types thrive in meadows, Summer breeds inhabit arid zones, and Autumn varieties roam rocky highlands.

Taming Preparation Essentials

Securing these creatures requires minimal gear but environmental awareness. Clear aggressive wildlife near your target before interaction. Equip a torch to attract the Drakeling, which will automatically perch on your shoulder when approached. Monitor the progress indicator that appears during the bonding sequence.

Taming Mechanics and Nutrition

Advance the bonding process through simple challenges like gathering materials or crafting specific items. Keep appropriate nourishment (preferably high-quality kibble) in your last inventory slot for timely feeding. If unsuccessful, the creature will abandon the attempt, requiring a fresh start.

Combat Applications and Growth Synergy

Equip the tamed companion on your shoulder or wield it manually for elemental attacks. These allies distribute combat experience to other creatures in your roster, with larger beasts gaining proportionally more XP. Accumulated experience converts into keys unlocking rare blueprints, advanced resources, and technology components through standard gameplay.

Special Capabilities and Reproduction

Activate glide mode (default R key) for safe descents from any height. This mobility feature proves invaluable during exploration or tactical retreats. Breeding combinations across seasonal types allows players to create hybrid offspring with unexpected traits, deepening strategic possibilities within the game ecosystem.
