Dragon Taming
Finding Dragons
Dragons spawn in specific biomes according to their type. Some general patterns:
- Night Furies and Light Furies spawn in dark forests and high mountains
- Deadly Nadders prefer flower forests and plains
- Gronckles are commonly found near rocky areas and mountains
- Red Death appears as a world boss in specific locations (see Dragon Hunter Logs)
Taming Process
- Locate a wild dragon (some of them are hostile at first)
- Approach carefully with their preferred food in hand
- Each dragon has specific favorite foods
- The dragons eat a lot, so they will require multiple attempts
- Once tamed, they can be named with a name tag
Note: Not all dragons have documented taming methods - some require experimentation!
