How to Safely Capture and Move Wild Predators

Transporting dangerous wildlife like tigers, crocodiles, sharks, or komodo dragons with vanilla leads or boats puts you at serious risk, since aggressive creatures chase you on sight. Cube Animals provides specialized gear to knock out and carry wildlife safely.

Obtaining Capture Gear

Before tracking a dangerous animal, prepare two essential items:

• Sleep Arrows: Used with your bow to temporarily tranquilize dangerous creatures from a safe distance.
• Animal Transporter: An item that lets you pick up and relocate either tamed pets or sleeping wild animals.

Check your Zoological Guide (given to you automatically when starting a new world) to view the exact crafting recipes for both items. Alternatively, find a Hunter NPC in the world and buy useful gear directly from them.

Knocking Out and Relocating Creatures

1. Locate the target animal in its natural biome while keeping enough distance so aggressive predators do not spot and chase you.

2. Load your bow with Sleep Arrows and shoot the creature until the tranquilizer takes effect and knocks it out.

3. Approach the sleeping animal quickly, as the knockout effect only lasts for a short time.

4. Hold the Animal Transporter in your main hand and use it on the sleeping creature to store it inside your inventory.

5. Travel back to your base or a secure enclosure and use the Animal Transporter again to release the creature safely.
