Overview

The Pyromane is a small carnivorous shoulder pet. It uses a special passive taming method involving dousing it with water and damaging it to initiate taming. Once tamed, it absorbs flames from nearby creatures while mounted to progress its taming bar. It can be airlifted by Quetzal, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Procoptodon, or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.

Players tame the Pyromane primarily for its unique flame-absorption mechanic and portability in combat scenarios.

More about taming the Pyromane

Douse a Pyromane, either by kiting it into water or with an Extinguisher Grenade, then damage it down to about half health and it will let you mount. From there attack nearby creatures to set them alight and use Flame Absorb to pull the fire in, which is what fills the bar. It throws you off periodically, so douse it again and get back on. On Scorched Earth there is no water near where it spawns, so carry it to some with a Wyvern.

Tame the Pyromane using the special passive method. Douse it with water from rain, ocean, or a water source to apply the Doused debuff, then deal damage until a mount prompt appears. While mounted, kill nearby flaming creatures and absorb their flames to fill the taming bar. The Pyromane periodically bucks off its rider, requiring re-dousing and repetition until taming completes. Use Extraordinary Kibble for fastest results. Cooked Lamb Chop also works well. About 6 kibble and 122,800 minutes are needed at level 150 on official rates. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes

The Pyromane takes +120% more damage from Instant HurtDinos attacks, making it highly vulnerable to certain mechanics. It is completely immune to Lava, Lava Base, FireStructure, Projectile Fire, ShooterDamageTypeBP Fire, and MiningDrill Harvest damage, taking -100% from each. This makes it ideal for volcanic environments. Level Health and Melee Damage.

The Pyromane has a head hitbox that takes 1.5× damage, making headshots effective for faster knockouts. Focus attacks on the head when immobilizing it.

Experience

  • The Pyromane can be carried by Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Procoptodon, Quetzal, and Tusoteuthis for rapid transport.
  • It takes +120% more damage from Instant HurtDinos attacks, a critical vulnerability to avoid in combat.
  • It is completely immune to lava and fire-based damage sources, allowing safe operation in extreme heat zones.
  • The taming process requires repeated dousing and remounting as it bucks off frequently.

This page covers the Pyromane's stats, taming process, breeding time, harvest yields, and damage modifiers. For precise planning, refer to the taming calculator, breeding calculator, and spawn map tools available on this wiki.
