Taming

To tame a Noglin, allow it to latch onto your tamed creatures and take control of them. Use high-health creatures like Voidwyrms (which take no damage from the process). Each time the Noglin releases control, it gains taming progress. Repeat until fully tamed.

Drops & Harvest Resources

Harvesting a dead Noglin yields Hide, Raw Meat. The corpse has 50 harvest health, allowing multiple hits before it's fully depleted.

Different tools yield different quantities - check the table below to pick the right tool for the resource you need. Generally, a Pick favors meat while a Hatchet favors hide and secondary materials.

Harvest Multiplier

Resource	Pick	Hatchet
Hide	40%~2~2 hits	60%~3~2 hits
Raw Meat	60%~2~2 hits	40%~2~2 hits

Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.

The Noglin's damage profile includes 14 modifiers that alter how much damage it takes from different sources. With 8 resistances and 5 weaknesses, its biggest vulnerability takes +120% extra damage - exploit that for faster kills. See the full breakdown in the table below.
