The best caver. Change my mind. You can have them small to fit through tight gaps, you can put a little miner helmet on them for a light, allowing you to wear a gas mask or fur hat to survive better, they can climb walls and swim, they are super fast, they are super strong, and more. Their only limitation is the addiction and element required, but they’re great for short trips.

Wild Ferox will approach you, with this in mind stand on a foundation with 3 walls to your back and a ceiling 2 high, feed the Ferox element by using it out of your hot bar and escape before it can transform fully, wall it in and wait for it to calm down and afterwards you’ll have your very own Murder Squirrels

For whatever reason, Feroxes are still super buggy, and these bugs mostly show up in Single Player (SP). I’ve put 500 hours into vanilla unofficial servers and never ran into this.

On the Fjordur map in SP, you can find Feroxes spawning way past the 150 max level cap inside the Ferox cave. Take the one I just ran into for example—it was a level 280, and it was perfectly tameable.

Also in SP, there's still a chance for them to dupe mid-tame. The cloned Ferox actually keeps the taming progress, and you can just finish taming the dupe as well.

Right next to where you accept the Mission "Searching the Fro-Zone" is the entrance to a cave with alot of Feroxes in it. It also contains Polar Bears though so bring good Armor And Weapons and Potentialy a good Dino. A smaller one is better though since the Feroxes will run towards you to get the element your holding and might get caught in the crossfire if you fight the Polar Bears with a large Dino.

I use these guys as guards, I put element in food boxes and trap them in doors, so when a player does a raid and attempts the code ( I put the code on a sign ) when they get it right it releases the feroxs and they eat the element and I have fun watching the person struggle, try and do this on your friends!

Ferox + Maewing = fun adventure time

You can glide across the map with the Maewing; then unleash the beast (Ferox) and when he cools down, load up on the Maewing and zoom off...wait! You gotta grab a highland cow baby! No worries, all can join on the Maewing! It is my favorite combo for exploring & getting the lil moocows

If you feed him element, he goes beast mode, and is rideable. But be careful. If you feed him element too many times, he'll be beast mode and agro on everyone, including you and tribe members, as well as on enemies. Once done throwing a tantrum, he will reset his relationship with element, and the process will start all over again. I would advise bringing freshly tamed ones to raids, however, the closer he is to his tantrum, the stronger he is in beast mode. It's a fine balance, so be wary if you do feed him element.

Looking for a cute energetic companion? I think you found your stop! If you read this, know that everything I say, is what I recommend bringing, doing, Etc! You however can go about this however you like! All I can say is good luck. For this tame you Have to have element, if you plan on going for a high level bring at least 100 element, also consider bringing good armor, and medical brews! Be sure to bring a spare set of armor! Why? I’ll explain later in this tip, for now I’ll begin on where to find these creatures: Lost island, in the aberration cave is a spawn point, as far as I know, it has been removed, however there’s still another spawn point that I know of behind the waterfall that leads to the abberation cavern! Next spawn location: Fjordur, 28, 4. I’m pretty sure those are the coordinates, you should find a snowy cave, with a guaranteed spawn of ferox! And finnaly genisis, there spawn points vary all I can say is they spawn there :) Alright now the taming process, it’s a “passive” tame, you put element in your hot bar, then feed it to the ferox’s “addiction” then the ferox will mutate to its larger form, from then will proceed to mug you, until the element wears off, it will shrink and ask for more! However it doesn’t “have” to beat you up, you just have to survive it for a set amount of time 30 seconds or so is how long mine usually lasts. when they transform simply run in circles arround them, because of they’re bad turn rate, they are completely immobilized by doing this! The more you feed the wild ferox element, the higher % addiction it will gain, rinse and repeat until… You got yourself a ferox! What can they do? Great question! I’ll start off with they’re addiction, the higher the addiction percentage is the longer and more powerful the ferox is when it transforms, this is of course the opposite the lower it is, to feed its addiction you feed it element the way you tamed it! (To people who are scared at low addiction, 0% addiction never kills ferox, it just states it’s less powerfull!) but that’s not all it can do, when transformed regardless of your weight it will always be able to carry it, this is regulated by you not being able to acces its inventory! When it’s in its small form, it still has some abilitys! When the ferox is on your shoulder while you are walking around for a set amount of time, it will start sniffing, and start jumping, put the ferox down as it will then dig up element dust and share it with you! It does this very often! Thanks for reading and good luck survivor!
