Taming

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).
