In order to tame one of these little guys, you’ll need to hold out a torch. It will then land on your arm and prompt you to complete one of three tasks before you can feed it: Kill, Harvest, or Craft things to gain XP. After each task, it will give you the option to feed it food from your hotbar.

From my testing, its preferred food is Exceptional Kibble.

Side note — all four seasonal variants of this creature:

• Spring

• Summer

• Autumn

• Winter

— tame the exact same way. Good luck and happy taming!
