Troodon — Detailed Guide
The Troodon is a small, clever pack hunter that hunts at night. Its bite also raises torpor, so a pack can knock out much larger prey.
Where to find it
It is uncommon in forests on The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction and Scorched Earth in both games, on Astraeos, Lost Colony and Genesis Part 1 in ASA, and on Crystal Isles, Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis Part 2 in ASE.
Taming
Its taming is unusual. It gains affinity by killing creatures that you knocked out. Knock out a creature, keep it from fighting back, and let the Troodon kill it. Taming at night works much better. Bring 
Stimulants against its torpor bite.
Breeding
- Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 8 minutes.
- Temperature: 28 to 32 °C.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 21 hours at 1x.
Uses
A small night companion with a torpor bite.
Tips
Do not walk into a Troodon pack at night with low stamina: the torpor adds up fast.
