The Volaticotherium is a flying squirrel which may not be a big carnivore but the utility makes up for it's size. Wild: These squirrels spend most of their time sleeping on the redwood trees in the green zone. Occasionally they will go looking for food, picking bushes for berries and eating mushrooms. They are very aware of their surroundings and if a predator comes close, they will flee at high speed towards the nearest tree or rock ledge. Taming: Taming the Volaticotherium may be a tricky task since there's not many of them in the world. Their skittish nature also doesn't help with that. These animals are very food motivated so treats are the best option. Items like honey, fruit, plant species x, y and z seeds are beloved by the squirrels. Look for squirrels sleeping on the trees, don't attempt taming on the ground as they will flee. After you've found your squirrel, dressed in ghillie armor approach the tree and throw a treat on the ground and move away. The Volaticotherium will smell it and come down to eat it. Sometimes the squirrel may require a few treats to become tamed, just repeat the process. Utility: This animal offers a unique way to scout the world of the Aberrant caves. At level 75 you unlock the Volativlcotherium Remote Camera (VRC). This can be put on your squirrel which was a normal shoulder pet before, turning it into a living drone! When you enter the RC mode, you can control the squirrel with a series of whistles, each one coresponding to a different action. But beware, your time controlling the squirrel is limited by your battery and stamina. You are limited to a view from the camera on the belly of the squirrel (no 3rd person). In the time of your battery life and stamina, you can either run on the ground or climb a wall/tree, jump, and glide through the air! Be advised that the whistles controlling the squirrel can be heard by other survivors and the Volaticotherium can be shot down easily due to it's slow gliding speed. For balance purposes you cannot mount C4 on them and they're not immune to radiation. I hope you like my suggestion and if you see a spelling/grammar error, please tell and i will fix it.

Great idea and drawings. We need something to spice up the oceans and more marine life in general. Also agree with XENOFOX on the base building.

Absolutely wonderful
