Gloon Taming Details
Gloon is a knockout tame. Its most effective taming food is Kibble (preferred) or Crops.
Alternative foods: Mejoberry, Other berries, Fresh Vegetables.
Taming Steps
1. Prepare your gear
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.
2. Locate the creature
Find a wild Gloon on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Knock it out
Gloon is a knockout tame. Use a Crossbow, Longneck Rifle with Tranq Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts. Aim for the head for bonus torpor and keep distance to avoid aggro damage.
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.
5. Maintain torpor
Watch the torpor bar. Feed Narcoberries or Narcotics to prevent it from waking up before the tame completes.
6. Claim & saddle
Once tamed, Gloon will follow your commands. It cannot be ridden.

Gloon — Background & Lore
The Gloon is a small frog-like floater with large glowing eyes from ASA's Lost Colony. It is a scouting and support companion that lights up dark areas, keeps wild creatures off you, and can calm or mark targets.
Where to find it
It lives on Lost Colony, where it is an uncommon spawn. It is often seen in the Aberrant Spread near 
Revenants.
Taming
A passive tame with no knockout. Kill the Revenants it attracts, then shoot its eyes to deflate it down to the ground. Once the glow stops, feed it until the tame completes. 
Basic Kibble is its preferred kibble.
Breeding
It lays 
Gloon Eggs that hatch in about 1.4 hours, and a baby matures in about 2 days at 1x. Our data puts incubation at 4 to 12 °C.
Uses
- Light: a glowing light source that also makes survivors immune to flashbang fruit.
- Camo: wild creatures do not target you unless provoked.
- Weapon: an eyebeam laser, a Mesmerize mode that stops aggression for 30 seconds, and a Necrotic Mark that makes a target an aggro magnet for 30 seconds.
Tips
Its slowfall makes cave drops safer. The 
Gloon Cupid Costume is a cosmetic option.
