You need to buy the lost colony thing if you want to imprint/tame one, I learned that the hard way 😭

Idk if anyone posted this but I will say it, if u find a mother and a baby NO KILL IT THE BABU only kill mother. especially if u are getting one first time, use ur elderclaw that u grew to get the materials required for the seed and taming. U do this by corpse blossoms to harvest them use ur vine burst move to harvest have a blessed day anyone who reads this.

It says it good at getting thatch but I tried it sucks I don’t know what the rating folks are smoking but I want some

Good weight and bulk on these guys. They don't need a saddle and have a passive armor stat that scales with their level. You can make them even bulkier by activating their bark armor ability, which trades off food drain for additional armor. They can also root enemies in place for a short period. You can spawn a totem that buffs your team while debuffing opponents. The totem can be detonated to deal AOE damage, and if you land enough hits before detonating, your elderclaw will become giant.

One of the cooler aspects of the Elderclaw is its ability to spawn Corpse Blossoms. Basically, if your elderclaw kills a creature, there is a small chance to spawn a purple boney flower on the corpse. When you use your root burst ability on this flower, it puts one of six rare ingredients in your Elderclaw's inventory. You can keep the drops random or go into the radial wheel for your elderclaw and select what specific drop you want from the corpse blossom. Like I said, the spawn rate of these blossoms is pretty small, but it can be a nice way to get something like biotoxin or black pearls passively while you're out killing stuff.

Fairly fast land mount but kind of low stamina. Watch out for fall damage with these guys. They're omnivores so you can heal them pretty quickly by forcefeeding meat.

I'm not sure if this is known, but whenever you place down a totem and detonate it with 100 or more charges it damages every creature in it's radius. I'm assuming the more charges the more damage they take, more testing needs to be done.

These things are great for getting berries, buffing your animals, and getting other resources

When trying to gather thatch it seems best to use the root burst (C on keyboard). It gathers more wood with normal attacks.

In order to gather the most thatch you need to use the tree root ability near trees

This stuff is a BEAST for fiber! Way easier than manually using a sickle. Gathers THOUSANDS IN SECONDS
