Quetzal

The Quetzal is one of the creatures in Pixark.

Wild
The Quetzal is a docile aerial beast, the true lord of PixARK skies. Unless sleeping, they never touch the ground. With its powerful wings, they can glide in the sky effortlessly.

Tame
You may consider a tamed Quetzal as your home in the sky. It can easily fly through the air while supporting the platform saddle.

Subspecies
Some Quetzal are intelligent enough to learn to fly along with the airflow, which allows them to sprint forward for some distance (Press C). Compared to its normal counterparts, Quetzal subspecies is better in movement speed and attack despite its inferiority in other stats.

Appearance
The Quetzal is a large flying dinosaur, similar to an oversized Peteradon. It is usually seen flying slowly not very far above ground level in snowy areas.

KO Strategies
General: Use s fired from a, but aim for the body and not the head. As the taming time is not that quick, maybe bring along a pixblock'd attack animal to help protect the taming area.

Two Survivors
One survivor pilots any flying mount able to pick up the second survivor, and the grabbed survivor shoots the Quetzal.

One Survivor - SP only *
Use a or other flying mount that is large enough to stand on after dismounting in mid-air. Chase the Quetzal, dismount, shoot until out of range, remount. Rinse, repeat.

* Can also work on low latency server connections.

One Survivor
Tame an and set it to Aggressive. Pick it up with a tamed. Keep the Scorpion in the Quetzal's face. Note: This is painfully slow.
 * Method 1 - Scorpio

Make a grappling hook and fit it to a crossbow. Fly a (or any other flying mount) near the Quetzal, dismount and grapple your mount as you fall. Switch to your rifle and shoot the Quetzal. As the Quetzal moves out of range, use (Attack this target) to follow it, and as you approach it again,  (All stop follow) to avoid your mount damaging the Quetzal.
 * Method 2 - Hanging in there

Tips: Press the attack and all stop keys several times to ensure they register. Carry parachutes in case of keying errors.

Utility
Travel: Due to its low stamina usage and high weight it is a great animal to carry your resources through the whole map.

The Quetzal is capable of picking up some creatures by right clicking on your mouse (LT on Xbox), making it ideal for capturing creatures and bringing them to a safer location for taming.
