The Pulmonoscorpius can be tamed by bolting its legs, knocking it unconscious with suitable weapons, and feeding it spoiled meat, with a taming pen improving safety. Its stinger inflicts delayed torpor, making it a strong early knockout companion, while its mobility and combat ability support travel, exploration, and defense. When encountering one, keep your distance with ranged weapons or kite it with a spear or pike, as its sting can quickly raise torpor; a mount can also defeat it safely if you avoid being cornered.
