How to get one
Wild Reapers cannot be tamed. Kill an R-Reaper King for its 
Reaper Pheromone Gland, use the gland, then let an 
R-Reaper Queen hit you with her impregnation attack. The baby grows inside you and is born after a while, then you raise it. The area around the Queens is crowded with dangerous creatures, so bring a strong escort.
Breeding
Reapers cannot be bred. A baby takes about 3.2 days to mature at 1x.
Uses

Tips
Leave the area around the Queen clear before you get impregnated, since you need to survive the hit.
