I've been trying to plant veggies on pvp and they kept getting stolen so i tamed me a badger and set him next to my crops and caught the thief and let's just say he's behind bars.
These mother respecters would be so much more useful if you could just ride them or pick em up with argys
Anyways for the uses that they do have, you can use them as secret treasure chests or as guards incase someone tries to steal something so they get jumpscared.
