Overview
Noglin is a small carnivore with a unique taming mechanic centered around its passive possession ability. It can latch onto tamed creatures and take control of them, progressing taming each time it releases. This makes it a niche utility creature for players looking to exploit its special interaction. It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.
It does not gather resources while ridden and has no breeding capability. Its primary use is experimental or situational control during taming attempts.

More about taming the Noglin
Let a wild Noglin jump onto one of your own tamed creatures and take it over. Bring several durable, low-damage creatures: whatever it possesses will attack the rest of your group and you, and a hard hitter turns that into losses. Each ride lasts thirty seconds and is capped at a fifth of what it needs, so it takes at least five, and a creature it has just used refuses another for forty seconds, which means five different creatures rather than one used five times. It ignores anything wild.
Noglin is tamed using a special passive method. Allow it to latch onto one of your tamed creatures to begin the taming process. Each time it detaches, taming progress is gained. Use high-health creatures like Voidwyrms to avoid damage during the process. The Noglin cannot be knocked out or trapped traditionally. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Experience

- Use a Voidwyrm as the host during taming to prevent any damage.
- It cannot be bred or hatched from an egg, making each taming permanent.
- It is immune to damage from the MiningDrill Harvest mechanic.
- It can be carried by Quetzal for aerial transport and deployment.
