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 X-Woolly Rhino on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
3. Knock it out
X-Woolly Rhino 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, equip a saddle (unlocks via the engram tab) to ride your X-Woolly Rhino.

X-Woolly Rhino — Background & Lore
The X-Woolly Rhino is the Genesis Part 1 variant of the 
Woolly Rhino, a heavy herbivore built for charging. Its horn attack hits harder the faster it is moving, which makes it a strong melee mount for its tier.
Where to find it
- Genesis Part 1: the Snow biome, in both ASA and ASE.
- ASE: also Fjordur.
Taming
A knockout tame and a herbivore. It is friendly at first but defends itself when hit, and it takes quite a few tranquilizers to put down. Feed it 
Superior Kibble, crops or berries.
Breeding
- Live birth: no egg; the pregnancy lasts about 4 hours.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 1.9 days at 1x.
Uses
Charge attacks against wild creatures, plus a solid mount for moving through the cold Snow biome.
Tips
Dress warmly while taming in the Snow biome. A long knockout tame there costs a lot of food and health without cold protection.
