Overview
Ferox is a small herbivore with a unique special passive taming mechanic. It transforms into a large aggressive form when fed Element, then reverts to complete taming progress over cycles. Survive its attacks during transformation to advance taming. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.

More about taming the Ferox
Feed a Ferox Element and it turns into its giant form and chases whoever fed it. Run, survive until it shrinks back, then feed it again. It cannot be fed while it is big, and any Ferox already riding your shoulder should go away before you start. The number of transformations scales with its level, from two at level 1 to twenty at 150, and a faster taming rate does not reduce it.
Tame Ferox using the Special Passive method. Feed it Element to trigger transformation into a large aggressive form. Survive the encounter until it reverts, then feed Element again to gain taming progress. Higher-level Ferox require more cycles. About 1 Element per cycle. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Experience
Each feeding of Element triggers a transformation cycle that advances taming progress. Survive the large aggressive form until it reverts to continue taming. Higher-level Ferox require more Element and more cycles. It can be carried by Argentavis to maintain mobility during taming.
