You can grab Wild Dung Bettles using a Grappling Hook and bring them to a safer place to tame, even on PVE. Works Great on Skull Cave on The Center and probably on caves too.
The Dung Beetle creates fertilizer and oil when he poop are in inventory. It must be wandering to produce. To remain at that spot, place it in a cage on a foundation (ceiling = drop)
It is possible for your dung beetle to crawl on a lit forge, which will kill it! So keep it away from any forges if possible.
Get yourselves a Phiomia as well! Feed it stimberries and you'll have plenty of medium feces to throw in the dung beetle. Fill it up, and come back and watch more fertilizer than you can imagine. I'll never use compost bins again!
After you use them for fertilizer and oil for awhile they will get hungry. They eat spoiled meat :)
Remember to always have it stocked with feces and the level does not effect the efficiency of his fertilizer making
Probably the most powerful creature on the whole island
If you have a tribe mate have one of you pick up the wild beetle with a large bird, such as an argent, the you can tame the beetle in its talons without it roaming around
If your beetle stops making fertiliser. Try taking all the feces out of it. Then turning wandering off then back on. Then fill back up with feces. Worked for me many of times.
Introducing the New Dung beetle!
Compost bins hate them!

Center: in caves
Island: in caves / carno island
Scorched: in the dunes
When taming you can use a grappling hook to bring them to a safe place.
Crawl up and feed it poop, but don't stand up, because they see you and attack. So crawl up, feed, crawl back. Keep doing this and soon it will be tamed.

Awesome for getting oil and fertilizer. All u need to do is pace them in a box and put poop in their inventory and set them on wondering
NOTE: This creature doesn't eat feces. It only converts the feces into fertilizer. Raw Meat will also need to be put into its inventory but it's hunger drops very slowly.
I have only seen these in caves so far but they are useful for fertiliser when you are growing crops and Plants Species X etc.
Make a separate building for the beetle. It wanders around, and can be quite annoying, as it's usually in the doorway. Put it near your greenhouse, or somewhere easily accessible to encourage your tribe to keep it loaded with poo.
When it is tamed you can put it in a cage, 1x1 house or behind some rails then set it to wondering so it can't move anywhere to get away
Dododex pls add the massive feces timer upvote to help make them do this
One way to describe this creature:

The dung beetles are often found in caves and around swamps
