How to Tame Creatures in Smalland: Survive the Wilds
Taming creatures in Smalland: Survive the Wilds is fairly straightforward. To tame any creature you want, simply bring them a treat. However, each of the tameable creatures requires a different treat to tame and some treats are harder to craft than others.
Also, keep in mind that not every creature can be tamed and each creature offers different advantages.
But which creatures can be tamed, and what kind of treats do they require? Let’s see.
List of Every Creature You Can Tame & How to Tame Them
Only five of the multiple available creatures in Smalland can be tamed. Here is the full list of all creatures that can be tamed in the game and the treat they require:

As for how to get the Treats, you’ll need to unlock the respective recipes first.
