Tips & Strategies
Don't pick up anything shiny it digs up or it will freak out.
100% effectiveness regardless of event bonuses. Single burrow miss forgiveness but no more. After one miss the effectiveness drops ALOT. Much easier post patch. Do not stand on the black burrow animation will prolong the tame canceling a burrow. CLEAR ALL SURROUNDING HOSTILE CREATURES beforehand and during. The rat well patrol a huge area. GL
You definitely need a Anky to get any use out of one. The saddle costs so much metal, 425 ingots! So if your playing on aberration get an anky in the blue zone I had to find the blue zone myself because there is no YouTube vids on where to find them. So good luck metal gathering!
They get agro if you take gems from off the ground and they see you do it
You must throw honey in its hole whether it’s ready to eat or not because if you don’t it loses taming effectiveness
Use a crab when harvesting gems. Simply wait for it to unearth a good haul (sometimes over 25 red gems and 40 blue gems) then grab the mole with the crab, take the gems, get back on and throw the mole away and fly (well jump good) to safety. Remember no matter how far away the mole who dug up the gems will get angry when they pick them up BUT other moles only aggro with it if they are close when you pick up the gems, or hit the mole.
Shoot a arrow at em it’ll chase you into your man made trap I used fence foundations with 2 stacked thatch doorways and it got stuck I had it keep lock on me while stuck then when it wasn’t looking I ran around and put the last pieces got a f 135 highest yet
When it burrows underground it brings up gems, this is a great method of gathering red gems in the early stage of the game.. but be careful as it will attack when you pick up the gems
Also, just like picking up a trike/stego egg, if you pick up a gem it will agro it
You need to have honey in your hot bar. Then when he goes underground press the button of the hot bar which you put the honey in.and if that doesn’t work watch nooblets to understand better
It will attack you if you steal their stuff when they burrow other than that their passive

Bring extra honey it will sometimes fake burrow as well as burrow and eat the honey but will not gain tame efficiency
The roll rat’s roll is by far one of the fastest (and most enjoyable) ways to get around by land, although the terrible turning radius makes it less maneuverable. It also completely demolished Wooden structures, making it very powerful for early-game pvp. Add that to the fact that it is Aberration’s only wood-gatherer, and the roll rat is a must-have for any tribe on any mode.
