Glowbug

The Glowbug (or Light Bug) is one of the Creatures in ARK: Survival Evolved's expansion Aberration.

Behavior
Passive, will flee when attacked.

Holds 500 charge which can be taken similarly to Jugbugs.

Appearance
Looks like an oversized lightning bug with a fairly wide green glowing aura.

General
Defenseless.

Strategy
No strategy needed other than attempt to kill it quickly; before you have to chase it into potentially dangerous territory.

Weaponry
Any weapon will do, even a spear.

Dangers
Be careful of surroundings as its high speed could kite you into danger.

Weakness
Defenseless.

Utility
For fresh to mid-tier survivors, the Glowbug can be an easy source of since they spawn in relatively high numbers in the easy spawn areas. Using a good gathering animal like a, , or even a can get you a decent supply of chitin and even some meat or  if a Beelzebufo is used, if you are not in dire need of charge at the time.

However, if getting Charge Light supplies without relying too often on tamed Charged Light Dinos is a priority, survivors can trap them in huts/cages for easy harvesting without harming them. Wild Glowbugs can also be used as a quick an rudimentory way of scaring off Nameless, as they avoid Glowbugs because of the charge they emit.

Roles
Charge can be collected with empty hands by approaching and pressing "use" (Default //). Fills either a or a shoulder mounted pet. This will cause itself and any nearby Glowbug to flee, preventing any further refilling.

Notes/Trivia

 * The Glowbug is the only creature that emits Charge Light that isn't tamable.
 * The Glowbug is seen in the Aberration trailer in a scene with the player holding a glowstick. It is seen near a small bush emitting green light.
 * The torn dossier for this creature was first revealed in Community Crunch 110 on December 2, 2017.
 * To the release of Aberration Studio Wildcard published a different dossier of the Glowbug with different text than the in-game version, see the gallery below.
 * Glowbugs cannot be picked up by a.
 * A glowbug seems to only charge Charge Batteries twice in a short amount of time. (Long term not tested)
 * In dossier, it is mentioned that the diet of the Glowbug is unknown, leaving to speculation as to what this creature would eat.
 * It appears that firing a handheld Charge Lantern at a Glowbug forces the creature to land quite quickly and remain immobile for a second. This makes it handy for quickly filling up Charge Batteries via Glowbug.
 * Although the Glowbug has the same ability that a Firefly/Lighting Bug has and Helena's notes say the insect is from the Miocene period, the Glowbug is a creature that doesn't exist in current times and has no fossils in the fossil record of this insect from the future that lives in the underworld of Aberration. This implies that possibly in the Ark universe, a fossil of a large member of the family Lampyridae was discovered, though given the Glowbug's appearance is either unrelated or a genetic fabrication as may be the case for all of Ark's creatures, so it could be an oversight of the developers.
