How You Get One

method, in order
Special Tamed by sacrifice: it has to kill creatures you provide, not eat food you hand it.

Step by step

  1. Bring low-value tames — Dodos and other cheap creatures are the usual choice — and leave them where the Troodon can reach them.
  2. Let the Troodon kill them. Each kill advances the tame; nothing you feed it does.
  3. Repeat through the night. Troodon are nocturnal and far more aggressive after dark, which is when this is practical at all.

Also true

  • Taming progress decays between kills, so the sacrifices need to be ready in advance rather than fetched one at a time.

Holding it still

BolaThrow it, it's stuck for 30 seconds. Carry a stack — you'll miss.
Bear TrapPlace it, kite the creature over it. Holds long enough to get darts in.
Plant Species YA grown trap plant — snares whatever triggers it. Handy where you can't place structures.

That's the full list — nothing else immobilizes a Troodon, per the game's own immobilizer table (drag weight 35).

Active
  • Bite

    The Troodon bites the target for 7 damage.

    5 stamina · 0.67s cooldown
  • Lunge

    The Troodon lunges at the target for 7 damage.

    5 stamina · 0.89s cooldown
Passive
  • Poisonous Jaws

    All of the Troodon's attacks apply the Poisoned debuff to the target, slowly reducing its Stamina based on damage dealt. If the target is a Human they will also receive the Troodon Paralysis Poison debuff, increasing their Torpor over 10 seconds which refreshes (but doesn't stack) on subsequent hits. The amount of torpidity dealt is counteracted by Fortitude. If a player has 0 fortitude this will inflict 50 torpidity and knock them unconscious.

  • Scouting

    The Troodon has the Scout ability which allows the Troodon to scan the area in search of 20px corpses and caches, 20px traps, 20px enemy players, 20px tames or 20px wild creatures. The scan results will appear on the player's UI for about 10 seconds. This ability has a range of 3,000 units and 60 seconds of cooldown between uses, and it is possible to improve this ability by investing level points into the scout cooldown or scout range (Note that level points are used instead of being an extra like Moschops or Therizinosaur with their harvesting levels).

  • Night Boost

    During the night the Troodon's eyes starts glowing orange, which means that the night boost is active. This buff allows the Pack Boost passive and increases the aggro range of the wild Troodons. This buff also reduces the amount of experience that a Troodon needs to be tamed by 50%.

  • Pack Boost (Night Only)

    The Troodon receives the Pack Boost whenever it is near to another allied Troodon. A "pack" of two Troodons will receive a +1 Bonus, which will go up to +4 in a Group of 5 or more Troodons, they receive +33% extra Melee Damage and +11% damage resistance per extra pack member up to 4 members.
