With some effort, you can even do it to minibosses like bigfoot or werewolf. Or to a cute sand cat. Just don't forget that different beings have different food preferences. Most are fine with fried meat, but rucks (kangaroo-like beings) prefer eggs, wolves like live hares, and the strangest are amazons, who prefer "fighter orbs" that drop from powerful raiders.
I haven't figured out a way to do it with tiny-sized beings like bees and butterflies. You can place them in a terrarium, but they don't seem to eat anything.
Note that tiny-sized beings tend to die if you attempt to knock them out with a club, you'll need a bug net (preferably an iron one) for that.
If they wouldn't eat a whole deer, dismantle it by pressing T while hovering over the deer, and only feed the meat. You can also try frying the meat.
Their food preferences are just for when they aren't companions, I think.
Also, if you get them near a food box, they will automatically grab some food. The exact conditions for that are unclear.
With food box selected so that it shows the "Use" button, you can just right-click any food item in your inventory and it'll put its food value into it :)
You can also assign a tamed villager to "Food" to slowly fill it up passively.
Got it. Thanks. Not entirely intuitive, but simple at least.
did not know about the amazon ones probably why they never were tamed lol.
see this is stuff that isn't explained and you sorta figure it out or someone else does
So if you're taming a chicken, they have corn at 40, and corn seeds at 20. So if you feed it corn, you'll need 3 of it to tame, and if you feed it corn seeds, you'll need 5 of them. In practical terms, feeding it corn seeds is cheaper, but feeding it corn is faster.
In even more practical terms, there isn't much meaning in taming a chicken. Unless you want to put a wizard hat on it. All that training, and they are still bad at guarding my base.
Not entirely clear what the distinction is, but it works.
