These little buggers are annoying until you realise that they are an easy and efficient way of getting early game simple kibble. So go out gather a few stacks of Mejos, put said Mejos into zero slot and let them steal it from you. Easy simple egg tames.
3 Females and one Male should be a good starting amount.
These things are surprisingly good as an early game tame. They are mostly useless in pve, but are a great substitute when you can't find dilos. They're easy to tame and are surprisingly vicious when you up their speed and attack. I have a lv50+ I tamed at lv 19 (has only been a few hours since starting the save file). Since getting him, he's usually the first to attack and kill the target.
When tamed, they can pick-pocket other players. If you get on of these early game, use it against other players. Just make sure you can get away without dying. (Also, they can ride on your shoulder, making them a nice companion to have. After pick-pocketing someone, put it on your shoulder and run away with the goods)
