Veilwyn
Shoulder Pet · 3 maps
Overview
Veilwyn is a small carnivorous shoulder pet with a unique passive taming mechanic. It can clone itself when threatened, making stealth essential for claiming. Once tamed, it evolves into either a Solwyn for defense or a Malwyn for aggression, serving as a specialized companion.
It can be airlifted by Argentavis or Karkinos for fast deployment.

Taming
Veilwyn is tamed through a special passive method. Crouch and sneak close to it — Ghillie Armor helps avoid detection. If spotted, it creates clones that must despawn before another attempt. Interact when the claim prompt appears to tame it instantly. No narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.
To tame a Veilwyn, crouch and sneak up on it (Ghillie Armor helps). When close enough, a claim prompt appears — interact to claim it. If spotted, it clones itself and you must wait for the clones to despawn. Once claimed, evolve it into a Solwyn (defensive, using Pristine Vulpite) or Malwyn (aggressive, using Corrupted Vulpite).
Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing a Veilwyn yields Hide, Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat, and Keratin. The Hatchet harvests the most Hide and Keratin, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat and Raw Prime Meat.

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.
