Climber · 2 maps
The Bloodstalker is a carnivorous climber. It passively tames by draining Blood Packs from a survivor's inventory when web-grabbed. This unique taming method makes it a niche choice for players focused on passive taming mechanics.
It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment.
Bloodstalkers spawn in bog biomes. They are very common and appear across 2 maps. Look for them near swampy, low-lying wetland regions where bog creatures congregate.
