Riding a Pinnacarid?

[Paxtoranius]

Is there anyway to guide it to a destination usefully and tame it enough to stop stinging you?

I've never been stung by one. Sure you're not getting bitten by something else from behind?

Yes, you can guide them somewhat, you keep moving the mouse against what the pinnacarid is trying to do. It's clunky and inaccurate by design, because it's not a tame creature, but you can steer it somewhat.

That's good to know but cannot be tamed is a bit down. Regards being stung it occurred about three times in a row repeatedly as I was riding so that made me think it was objecting to having me on board. "Must have been something we haven't seen yet" ! (had to get an old movie quote in ....sorry)!

Yes. He has an animation where he is asking you for a meal. If you give him a fish at this moment, you have two possibilities:
- First he will follow you for a while, trying to protect you from sharks.
- Second if you ride it he will let you take control without opposition.

This behavior only last a while.
