Overview

Purlovia is a carnivorous support creature known for its ability to reduce the weight of inventory resources. It can be airlifted by Quetzal or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment. Players tame it to efficiently transport heavy hauls while benefiting from its combat utility in raids and defense.

More about taming the Purlovia

Purlovia must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola, Bear Trap, or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows from a Crossbow or Shocking Tranquilizer Darts from a Tek Bow work well for sedation. The best food is Regular Kibble, with Raw Mutton as a viable alternative. About 11 units of Regular Kibble are needed. The tame takes around 35 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Tips

Purlovia takes 200% more damage from spike walls, making it vulnerable in base defenses. It is also weak to explosion damage, so avoid placing it near demolition charges. The creature can be carried by Quetzal, enabling rapid aerial redeployment. Its immunity to mining drill damage can be exploited in mining zones.

This page details Purlovia's stats, taming, breeding, harvest drops, and combat behavior. For precise planning, use the taming calculator, breeding calculator, and spawn map tools available on this site.
