This is a great guard tame get at least 5 or 6 and have them placed inside of a house and if someone breaks in they will kill the enemies very fast and very effectively

Bug repellant is not a necessity, it can be replaced by crawling and using a ghillie suit. This works on all passive cave tames.

Mainly used in PvP to destroy player's armor, the Onyc is a guard animal. To maximize efectiveness upgrade health, damage, and speed.

Probably the easiest way to tame theses guys is to make a 1 foundation hut, draw him to it, get him stuck by placing down your last wall, walk away until you lose agro, then use bug repellent

It's a slower, but more accurate and powerful version of the Dimorph. It can't carry a lot, move fast or take down larger creatures. but a good distraction/sacrificial lamb or decorative pet.

If trying to tame on center be careful cause it may fly up into the skybox right when it is tamed.

Some caves are untamable bats, while others are fine, wiki page has a map

Lure them out the cave to make the taming process 10x easier. :)

A wonderful"guard dog" even for late game players. A few of these inside your house and anyone who tries to raid you will show up dead in your tribe manager quite a bit. These little suckers are about as overpowered in close quarters combat as it comes.

I found that I needed to crawl in full ghillie for it not to aggro on me. Also, bring more meat, the amount is off on this tame. A 145 on 2x takes 20, I brought 30 and came up short of 10% taming.

Found in almost any cave just look for them but be careful if low level

Watch out when taming, these dudes can carry rabies

Simple kibble does not work, DO NOT USE IT!

Changelog for the kibble rework update says they should take Simple, but all five (white through yellow) kibbles still start it off at 44.4% effectiveness.

I tryed to tame it outside of the cave and it will not tame

Traping them no longer work, rather lure them out cave and let it chase you (with big repellent) until it deagros then feed and repeat

The onyc is super effective as a guard dog and is a must have in a base.

Can you tame these in Extinction?
