If one narwhal companion isn't enough, you can breed them to grow a pod. Breeding uses the same food as taming: fish items.
Breeding Steps
1. Find two narwhals in the same area of water. Frozen ocean biomes are the natural place to do this, since narwhals spawn there.
2. Stock up on fish items. Feeding two narwhals uses up fish quickly.
3. Hold the fish and feed it to the first narwhal, then to the second.
4. Stay nearby and watch for the baby to appear.
5. If nothing happens, make sure both narwhals were actually fed and are close enough to each other.
Because tamed narwhals do not teleport across long distances, breed them where you want the pod to stay. Use resting mode to keep your tamed narwhals from drifting off while you prepare. Then switch them back when you're done.
Telling Babies Apart
- Baby narwhals have darker skin tones than adults. This is the easiest way to pick them out of a group in murky or dark water.
- Adults also show tusks of different sizes, so expect some variety in your pod as it grows.
Tip: Keep your breeding area clear of hostile mobs. Tamed narwhals in following mode will fight threats, but babies are better off in calm, protected water.
