Overview
The Shadowmane is a carnivorous creature with a DMG role. It features a passive taming method that requires stealth and a Filled Fish Basket. This dino excels in combat due to its high damage output and unique teleport ability. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
Players typically tame Shadowmane for its offensive capabilities and synergy with aerial transport strategies.

More about taming the Shadowmane
A Shadowmane only takes food while it is asleep, which it is during the day. Put a filled Fish Basket in your last hotbar slot, wear Ghillie or drink Cactus Broth, and approach it from behind rather than walking up to its face, because waking it ends the attempt. Only the size of the trapped fish matters, and it decides everything: the biggest cost no effectiveness at all, smaller ones bleed it on every feed.
Shadowmane is tamed passively. Approach it while it sleeps, ideally wearing a Ghillie Suit or after consuming Cactus Broth for stealth. Offer a Filled Fish Basket containing at least a 0.5x sized fish. The best food is Filled Fish Basket (1.5x Fish), which provides the fastest taming. Filled Fish Basket (1.0x Fish) is a viable alternative.
The process takes around 4 minutes with optimal settings. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Combat notes
Shadowmane has a +120% weakness to Instant HurtDinos and a +100% weakness to spike walls. These make it highly vulnerable in defensive setups using spike walls. It is also weak to explosions and melee attacks from metal weapons. Avoid placing it in zones with high spike wall density.
The Shadowmane has a head hitbox multiplier of 1.5x, making headshots effective for faster knockout or increased damage output. Focus attacks on the head when possible.
