Dapperwing might fly away when you approach it closer or if the weather changes. If this happens, wait a while and the Dapperwing will return.
Change the Time with an Optional Quest if Missing
If the Dapperwing is missing or has completely flown away, it is recommended to accept an Optional Quest in the Scarlet Forest map to change the time. Try to search the area again after accepting and if it’s still not there, abandon the quest and accept it again to keep searching.
Time Can Also Be Changed Using the Camp Rest Feature
The camp has a "Rest" function that allows you to change the environment and time of day. Even if this is a good option, especially if you're near a camp, resting costs you 300 Guild Points.

| Characteristics | This creature experiences a significant color change in male feathers during molting season. In Fallow, it remains a dull green, blending with surrounding vegetation. However, after completing molting during Plenty, its feathers turn vibrant. The bright coloration is believed to be used for courtship, where individuals with more striking colors and larger feathers have higher chances of successful mating. |
Required to Complete Side Mission
Capturing the Dapperwing is a requirement for the side mission "Samin’s Research Report". You must capture it while the mission is active, pre-captured specimens will not count towards completion.
