The creature can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment across difficult terrain.
Players typically tame Aberrant Carbonemys to serve as a durable, high-capacity transport in resource-heavy missions, especially in challenging cave systems where weight efficiency is critical.

Taming an Aberrant Carbonemys requires a knockout method. Use a Bow, Crossbow, or Compound Bow with Tranq Arrows to sedate it. Immobilize the creature first using a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to prevent escape. The best food is Regular Kibble, which provides the fastest taming effectiveness.
The process takes around 20 minutes and requires no Narcotics. Use the calculator below for your settings.
