This is the only tip you need net it then trap it with Fence foundations and double doors then derender it so it loses Agro
To tame your very own murder kitty, you want to have full ghilly armor/cactus soup. (both will make taming a LOT easier) Tame during the day because at night they won't sleep. Wait until it falls asleep crouch or crawl towards it and feed it a fish basket from the last slot in your hot bar (if the fish baskets are starting to spoil, put them in your hot bar and go into water. This will reset the spoil timer) after it's been fed once, it will turn invisible and start walking towards you, so watch out for it's footsteps. Track it, and repeat feeding until it's tamed.
Hope this helped 😉

The males are bigger with manes but the females can turn invisible and the females can also make not just it’s own kind invisible but big groups of other species of dinos invisible COOL RIGHT ya it’s ight BUT it has a lighting dash attack which deals heavy damage to groups of dinos and players
It's a passive tame that requires you to have Gillie armor, you have to wait for it to sleep then feed it fish.
I can’t wait for this creature honestly the female can turn invisible and other creatures tamed around it invisible I don’t know what the male does but I can’t wait for the adventure with this creature
Im having problems with the shadowmanes going to sleep i have been siting here for about an hour watching these guys walking around but not sleeping
It seems they knock you off your mount.
Don’t feed them trilobites it moles the taming go to 0% 😭😭😭
In fjordur it only sleeps from 8 am to 8 pm. Hope it helps.
The trap nooblets made makes it so that you don't have to worry much at all about the shadowmane seeing you, however, still be careful because if you get too close they can aggro and it's annoying to make them undo it (this is the link to the video https://youtu.be/zog8of25aac) (up to let more people see)
They fall asleep at 08:00 every day.
Just in case it aggro’s you during tame, bring a net gun so it don’t kill you. Then leave render range to reset aggro.
They fall asleep as soon they eat a live thing so if you lure a idk a dilo or a patchy they will kill it then sleep
Sleep time starts at +- 8:30 till about 18:00 pm game time
Looks like they're going to be like pack hunting rock drakes when they come out, the females camouflage, and the males have a pack bonus.
Both genders can go invisible, they have a super jump, long distance teleport jump, bite attack, and a zigzag lighting dash attack. Females can make nearby allies go invisible, and they are part fish so they don't have an oxygen bar. You can only tame them while they are sleeping. You need ghilie, dead fish, and dumb luck. Feed them, move back slowly without taking your eyes off it. They only spawn in Rockwell zone on Gen 2. Hope this helps!
On fjordur around where the shadomanes are located. You can harvest the wood to make the baskets. They look like white mushroom type plants. About half the height of your character. And the traps nooblets and others have shown on YouTube work too trap and tame the shadow’s as well I got a pair last weekend.
I was taking a look at the wiki, and I found out what I THINK is a leak? If you check the color scheme, it shows an “albino (really just admin colored, but we all knew that)” Shadowmane, an in game model (or maybe devkit, but still). So I might have found a secret?
