Getting Started with Monster Cats

Transforming Your First Cat

Find uranium ore deep underground near bedrock and feed it to a tamed cat to trigger its mutation into a giant monster. To tame the beast, use TNT to knock it out, then feed it large amounts of uranium. Once tamed, you can ride it and access its combat abilities: left-click to swipe, hold sprint and left-click for a tail spin, press R to roar, and hold G for a powerful atomic breath attack. Be aware that damage from other mobs fills the monster's rage meter—when full, it will buck you off and unleash an area blast before resting for 10 minutes. You can breed two tamed monsters using uranium to produce a baby version.
