Domestication

This article is about the uses of a tamed creature. For the process of taming a creature, see Taming.

“	That tame will have its uses.	„
	~ HLN-A

Domestication is the process of converting wild creatures into useful beasts of burden for the player's benefit. Domesticated creatures have many different advantages that make life easier on The Island. Some creatures allow the player to harvest resources more efficiently than the player can by hand, while others can transport huge amounts of goods or lead the charge in war. However, before a creature is domesticated, it must first be tamed. Additionally, some creatures require a saddle to reach their full potential.

Behavior

Domesticated creatures follow orders given to them. The player can set their Aggression Level, order them to stay on a place, follow a player or wander around. To change their behavior, stay close to a creature and hold use (default E) or use whistles. The player can mount on domesticated creatures to fight other creatures and players, and move, using the creature's stamina instead of the player's stamina.

Feeding

Creatures have their own hunger bar which drains for the same reasons that the player's does: to refill stamina, to provide healing, as well as steadily draining over time on its own. A creature will bias towards eating its least favorite valid food before those that it would prefer. For example, a carnivore will eat any  Raw Meat in its inventory before eating  Raw Prime Meat and a herbivore will save its preferred berry for last.

At rest (while not being ridden or recovering health or stamina) a creature will lose 0.1 hunger approximately every 35secs. This means it will only need to eat once every (35secs X 500 units of hunger =) 17500 seconds, or 291.67 minutes, just shy of 5 hours, while at rest if its inventory only contains raw meat. This is significantly longer than any type of meat will last in its inventory before it will spoil, and feeding large numbers of creatures purely on kibble is almost impossible for even the most established players. For this reason, unless you need Spoiled Meat for Narcotics, it is recommended you do not keep food in an idle creature’s inventory as it will spoil much faster than it will be eaten.

Herbivores use identical mechanics to carnivores, but due to the fact they are relatively easy to feed (one low level Trike is able to collect hundreds of berries in only a few minutes) it is less of a concern for these creatures.

Remote Use Item

"Remote Use Item" is a command that allows players to force feed an item to a creature. This can be done while an animal is unconscious or conscious. Usually Narcoberries are Force Fed, in order to keep the animal's Torpor in check. If possible, it is recommended to use Narcotics since they don't spoil and can be turned into Tranquilizer Arrows if you underestimated the creature you were trying to tame.

Feeding Trough

Using a  Feeding Trough is a much more efficient way to feed multiple animals — especially while players are logged out of the game. Once a players puts food in a Feeding Trough, all nearby animals will eat whenever they are hungry. This makes it easier to manage the hunger levels of many creatures while preventing extra spoiling of food items.

Comparison tables

Resource gathering

The attribute Melee Damage influences the gathering of resources. Note that not all creatures are listed. Refer to the resource page for a complete list of creatures and tools gathering that particular resource. Creatures are ordered from high to low efficiency, but the table also shows the gathering rate of the tools for comparison purposes. Note that whilst  Tek Stryder resource gathering capabilities are low unless it has Excavator Rig, it is not mentioned here due to its potential for not mining node without materials linked to a linked Dedicated Box.

Note that  Stegosaurus gathering efficiency is based on the backplate it is currently under.

Scouting

For scouting and exploring the attribute Movement Speed is most important. As the numbers are not given absolutely, this table is qualitatively based on experience. Air creatures can no longer have their movement speed upgraded so animals like the raptor, Thylacoleo, and sabertooth can be better for exploration

Creature	Speed
Bloodstalker	★★★★★
Female Megaloceros	★★★★★
Managarmr	★★★★★
Deinonychus	★★★★★
Gallimimus	★★★★★
Shadowmane	★★★★☆
Raptor	★★★★☆
Male Megaloceros	★★★★☆
Sabertooth	★★★★☆
Drake	★★★★☆
Enforcer	★★★★☆
Equus	★★★★☆
Direwolf	★★★☆☆
Thylacoleo	★★★☆☆
Ravager	★★★☆☆
Karkinos	★★☆☆☆

Charge Light

Some creatures have the ability to emit or store Charged Light, making them valuable in certain locations within Aberration and caves if exported to other maps.

Creature	Charge Capacity	Charge Regeneration	Charge Emission
Bulbdog	★★★★★	★★☆☆☆	★★★☆☆
Shinehorn	★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆	★★★☆☆
Glowtail	★★★☆☆	★★★★★	★★☆☆☆
Featherlight	★★☆☆☆	★★★☆☆	★★★★★
Tek Stryder*	★★☆☆☆	★★★★☆	☆☆☆☆☆

* = Does not emit charge light or has the ability to improve Charge Regeneration on additional level.

Traveling

Some creatures are useful for traveling because they are fast and have good weight stats to carry more resources for you.

• Argentavis
• Equus
• Gallimimus
• Gasbags
• Procoptodon

It is also helpful if the creature has weight reduction and has a fighting chance.

Special Abilities of Creatures

Yutyrannus is one the best supports in combat because it has two abilities (both are roars) that are very useful. The first roar will cause all dinos, (except for Giganotosaurus,  Rex,  Spino,  Wyvern,  Bronto,  Rock Elemental, Alpha Creatures, Bosses, water creatures, or any dinos near a Mammoth with a survivor drumming buffs at rear seat of the saddle) tamed or untamed, to run away from it, even if being ridden. Player movement speed needs to be at least 181% to outrun it. The second roar temporarily boosts the attack damage allied creatures inflict by 25%, and reduces incoming damage taken by 20% each. This can be very useful in massive battles or when fighting bosses.

Daeodon is another great support because it heals tamed dinos in a specific area. But be careful, they consume an amazing amount of food to activate the ability. The amount of healing gained per tick of the Daeodon's healing aura is directly linked to the maximum health of the dino being healed. Higher HP dinos will heal more HP per tick.

Structural Functions

When saddled, some creatures can function as portable alternatives to their structural variant.

Creature	Structure Alternatives	Notes
Argentavis	Smithy	Cannot be used to repair damaged/broken items.
Thorny Dragon
Phoenix	Refining Forge,  Campfire	Autonomously cooks anything inside.
Magmasaur		Requires activation to use. Will drain food fast.
Tropeognathus	Industrial Grinder	Does not require saddle despite the above mentioning.

Producing Resources

Apart from producing poop some creatures can produce valuable resources that can be harvested from them.

Creature	Product	Requirement
Achatina	Achatina Paste  Organic Polymer	while wandering
Amargasaurus	Amargasaurus Spike	harvested via Circle Hud. (regenerates over time)
Beelzebufo	Cementing Paste	licking dead  Meganeura or  Titanomyrma
Dung Beetle	Fertilizer  Oil	needs  Feces in its inventory and being on wandering
Gacha	Gacha Crystal  (contains various number of selected/random resources)	give it random item to eat.
Hesperornis	Oil	the  Hesperornis Egg can be boiled to get the oil
Phoenix or  Magmasaur	Metal Ingot  Cooked Meat (Any Raw Variant)	put  Metal or  Raw Meat (or any raw) inside. Magmasaur requires enable smelting to begin making the resource.
Tusoteuthis or  Basilosaurus	Oil (Tusoteuthis)	generated over time
Megachelon	Rare Flower  Rare Mushroom	generated over time
Ferox	Element Dust	picked up and thrown to the ground either at specific timeframe, or when traveled enough with it (will be shown if it acts an animation upon picking up)

Autonomous gathering

Some domesticated creatures collect resources by themselves when left on 'enabled wandering' (set by holding E near the creature). Just leave the creature wandering near the resource and take the collected resources from time to time of its inventory.

Creature	Collects
Castoroides	Wood
Doedicurus	Stone
Gigantopithecus	Fiber
Mesopithecus	Berries
Pegomastax	Berries
Therizinosaur	Wood,  Thatch,  Crystal*,  Sap*, Genesis:Part 1 Lunar Biome*
Moschops	Berries,  Fiber,  Seeds,  Thatch,  Wood
