The Bloodstalker is tamed by allowing it to grab you while carrying blood packs, with camouflage, bug repellent, protective gear, and a cleared area helping prevent interruptions and dangerous falls. As a mount, it excels at climbing, swinging, leaping, gliding, crossing water, and using its tethers to pull creatures or reposition targets for exploration and combat. When encountering one, fire can disable its web abilities, while striking it may force it to release you; remain cautious near trees, where it can ambush you or your tames.
