Troodons are difficult to tame: trap one in a pen at night, then let it kill owned, unmounted creatures—preferably weakened or high-health young animals—to build taming progress. They have strong PvP utility, using pack attacks to incapacitate survivors, defend bases, and scout for nearby creatures or hidden enemies, though they offer limited PvE value and are challenging to raise. Avoid them when possible, especially at night or in packs; use light, bolas, ranged weapons, or a strong mount to escape, while carrying stimulants and protecting nearby tames.
