A very useful creature when you are focused on farming vegetables. It's a poor fertilizer supplier and you can find it only in caves. The creature is not aggressive - it will attack you only if you approach it. It feeds on feces and spoiled meat. It can only be tamed with a non-aggressive method.

Characteristic:

  1. A farming creature
  2. Not aggressive

Killing it gives you:

  1. Chitin
  2. Raw Meat

You can find it in caves scattered around the map. In the WORLD MAP chapter you can find the exact locations.

Taming Dung Beetle

To begin the taming process you must carefully approach the creature and start feeding it. It's recommended to lure the creature into a safe spot - during the taming process it can move around and venture into a dangerous zone. Repeat the feeding process once it becomes available and continue doing so until the creature is tamed.
