This is a passive tame: no tranquilizers needed. Get close without startling it, then offer food from your last hotbar slot. Its preferred food is Blood Packs (Lvl 1-140).
As a tame, the Bloodstalker earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 27°C–30°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 1 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.35 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
