How to Tame Pets and Unlock Special Abilities

More than a third of the over 20 wildlife species in Cube Animals can be tamed. Beyond acting as vanilla-style companions, tamed pets grant practical utility abilities such as extra inventory storage or assistance with enchanting.

Finding Tameable Species and Foods

Because every species has unique habits, start by opening the Zoological Guide you received upon spawning into your world:

1. Browse the animal entries to check which mammals, birds, reptiles, or fish can be tamed.

2. Read the specific entry for your chosen creature to see its preferred taming item, behavior type, and what special ability it provides once tamed.

3. Gather the required items before heading into the creature's native biome.

Taming and Moving Your Pets

1. Approach the creature carefully based on its temperament. Passive animals like fennec foxes, toucans, snails, and crickets will not harm you, while neutral animals will fight back if accidentally hit.

2. If you are attempting to tame a dangerous species or want to tame an animal inside a safe pen at home, knock it out with a Sleep Arrow first and carry it home using an Animal Transporter.

3. Interact with the awake animal using the taming method listed in your Zoological Guide until it becomes yours.

4. Once tamed, you can pick up your pet at any time using an Animal Transporter to bring it along on adventures or position it near your storage and enchanting setups.
