Hi! Dodo’s friend, Jerboa here! Dodo asked me to do all the little critters. So I, the almighty Jerboa, shall guide you through shoulder mounts!

MONSTER LOG: MINI

Bulbdog

Behavior: Passive

The Bulbdog is a cute starter glow-pet found almost anywhere! I seem to find a bunch near the portal (spawn point) though. Wild bulbdogs are passive critters and pose no threat to jerboas and humans alike! Killing one gives you hide and meat, plus a one way ticket on the “Defenders of the Bulbdogs” most wanted list. Once tamed, it shall shower you in cuteness and light. The glow light keeps the one-who-shall-not-be-named away. But BEWARE! The Seekers see this as dinner! They get stronger when in the presence of your glow light (I’m not actually to sure). If you find a Bulbdog, feed it some grub and be on your way. It may even follow you home!

HOW TO TAME

You will need: Taming food (Aquatic Mushrooms are advised).

First, Locate this bundle of joy!

Lastly, Feed it taming food (Mushrooms)

Wow it’s that easy huh?

Well what are you waiting for? Go tame one!

-Best Regards, Jerboa

Their light keeps the baddies away. It's a new mechanic called "charge." Having light with you makes you a good bit safer.

THEY ARE NOT AMPHIBIOUS, ALL SHOULDER PETS CAN BE UNDERWATER WITHOUT DROWNING AS LONG AS THEY ARE ON YOUR SHOULDER.

The otter god and the jerboa king have sent their messages of warning in protection of their respective shoulder pets... So I too The Defender of the bulbdogs send mine! To any heartless survivors who would consume my brethren as a snack... Beware you heartless souls for you will be found and I as the defender of all bulbdogs shall kill you and use you as sustenance for the bulbdogs so that they can seek out and catch other bulbdog eaters! SOoo bulbdog devouring humans, think about that next time you tuck into the flesh of my glowing friends...
