While the Phiomia does not attack, many survivors see value in it as an easy-to-tame pack animal. It will quickly flee when attempting to knock it out, but once tranquilized, the Phiomia can be tamed very quickly, making it a popular choice for survivors looking for a creature to transport supplies. The Phiomia produces a lot of feces in comparison to other creatures, making it useful in fertilizer production.
