Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Kibble (preferred) or Crops, bug repellent (if applicable), and a shield for emergencies.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Aberrant Achatina on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Approach passively
Aberrant Achatina is a passive tame. Approach slowly with no weapons drawn, drop or hand-feed its preferred food, and avoid sudden movements.
4. Feed the right food
Place Kibble (preferred) or Crops in its inventory (alternatives: Mejoberry, Other berries, Fresh Vegetables). Higher-tier food gives faster taming and higher level bonuses.

Aberrant Achatina — Background & Lore
The Aberrant Achatina is the glowing Aberration form of the 
Achatina, the giant snail that produces 
Achatina Paste, a stand-in for 
Cementing Paste. Apart from its bioluminescence it works like the base snail, which makes it a steady paste and 
Organic Polymer source for builders.
Where to find it
Aberration in both games. In ASE it also appears on Fjordur.
Taming
A knockout tame. Its shell soaks up most damage, so use tranquilizer arrows or darts rather than melee. Feed it 
Sweet Vegetable Cake, which is also the only food a tamed Achatina will eat.
Breeding
Achatina have no gender, and each birth gives two babies. Gestation takes about 7.9 hours, and a baby matures in about 3.9 days at 1x.
Uses
- Paste: about one Achatina Paste per minute, up to 100 in its inventory.
Polymer: one Organic Polymer per hour, also up to 100.
Tips
Leave it on wander so it keeps producing, and keep a stock of Sweet Vegetable Cake, since it eats nothing else.
