Overview
Gasbags are a rare herbivore creature serving the Soaker role. They can be carried by larger creatures such as Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for aerial transport. This makes them useful for mobile resource gathering and deployment in elevated or hazardous zones.

More about taming the Gasbags

Sedate with Tranq Arrow from a Bow or Tranquilizer Dart from a Longneck Rifle. Feed Superior Kibble for fastest results. Base torpor is 450. The taming process takes about 67 minutes and requires 13 Superior Kibble. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Gasbags take +200% more damage from spike walls, making them highly vulnerable to defensive perimeters. They are also weak to instant damage sources and melee attacks with metal modifiers. Conversely, they are highly resistant to fire damage, taking -60% less. Use non-fire ranged or melee weapons for best results.
The Head hitbox has a damage multiplier of 0.8x. All other zones take standard damage. Target the body for consistent torpor buildup during knockout taming.

Tips
The Melee attack gathers most plant-based resources at 10× efficiency. Cactus Sap and Fiber are gathered at 8× efficiency. It can be carried by Quetzal for aerial resource runs. Its high vulnerability to spike walls makes it risky in defense-heavy zones. Resistant to fire, so safe near flame-based turrets. The ExhaleAttack and Inhale_AI abilities do not contribute to gathering.
