Morellatops Taming Details
Morellatops is a passive tame — feed it Kibble (preferred) or Crops by hand or from its inventory without knocking it out. Its most effective taming food is Kibble (preferred) or Crops.
Alternative foods: Mejoberry, Other berries, Fresh Vegetables.
Harvest yield: a tamed or killed Morellatops drops Raw Meat, Hide, Keratin.
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 Morellatops on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Approach passively
Morellatops 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.
5. Maintain torpor
Keep wild predators away — passive tames are vulnerable while feeding.
6. Claim & saddle
Once tamed, equip a saddle (unlocks via the engram tab) to ride your Morellatops.
