Elderclaw
To tame an Elderclaw, kill a wild adult to obtain an Elderclaw Seed from its inventory. Plant the seed in a Large Crop Plot with at least 300% greenhouse effect, irrigation, and fertilizer. As the seedling grows it will periodically request one of six resources: Sap, Giant Bee Honey, Black Pearls, Biotoxin, Ammonite Bile, or Leech Blood. You have 5 minutes to provide each resource or taming effectiveness drops. Once the seedling matures into a baby Elderclaw, raise and imprint it like any other baby creature.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point:
Food to consume through starvation: 0
Target food level: 9800

With 100% base Melee Damage, the Elderclaw has solid damage output. At 800 base HP, the Elderclaw is solidly tanky. Its base Stamina of 350 gives it good endurance. It carries 650 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.
As a tame, the Elderclaw pulls double duty as both a capable resource harvester and pack animal. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 24°C and 28°C. Defeating one in the wild grants 4 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.66 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
