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.

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!

Go anywhere in the north, northwest area and your bound to find them. The area always has a snowstorm, so bring a bloodstalker to locate the ferox. Use HLNA to get element, then use the element near it, and it will transform. Finally, grab onto a tree or cliff side and wait for it to shrink again. Best of tamings!

You can find these guys at the bottom right of the green biome on gen 2 and use your exo suit helm to find them they should be outlined red then go on the beach (have element on your last slot) and use the element to feed it then fly up when it grows big then wait till it’s small again then feed it over and over again till tamed. bring at least 100 element to tame
