Overview
The Zomdodo is a small event creature that does not eat, with no distinct role. It can be carried by flyers and land creatures for transport across difficult terrain. It is typically tamed for its utility as lightweight cargo or as a stepping stone for taming more complex creatures.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Desmodus, or Griffin for rapid deployment. Other carriers include Karkinos, Megalosaurus, and Tropeognathus.

More about taming the Zomdodo
Zomdodo must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it first. Then sedate it with ranged weapons such as Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts.
Feed it Raw Mutton for the fastest taming. Raw Prime Meat also works but grants less affinity. The process takes around 15 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.
