Exceptional Kibble
Overview
The Yi Ling is a small carnivore known for its wall-running ability. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Megalosaurus, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for rapid deployment. This makes it ideal for fast, mobile combat and ambush tactics in vertical environments.
Players tame Yi Ling to exploit its agility and unique movement in tight or elevated spaces.

More about taming the Yi Ling
Yi Ling must be knocked out before taming. Use a Bola or Bear Trap to immobilize it, then apply tranquilizing tools. The best food is Exceptional Kibble, which provides the fastest taming. Raw Mutton also works well if kibble is unavailable.
Taming takes about 17 minutes with 12 units of Exceptional Kibble at level 150 on official settings. No Narcotics are needed. Use the calculator below for your settings.

Tips
The FeatherShot attack has a 55-meter range and a 0.5-second cooldown, enabling long-range harassment. Rupture applies a debuff at 50 meters every 10 seconds, useful for controlling enemy movement. Yi Ling's Dash attack deals 20 damage and closes distance quickly in combat. It takes +100% more damage from spike walls, making them highly effective in defense.
This page details the Yi Ling's stats, taming, breeding, harvest output, and combat behavior. Use the taming calculator, breeding calculator, and spawn map for further planning.
