Extraordinary Kibble
Overview
The Thylacoleo is a carnivorous medium-sized creature with a focus on damage dealing. It excels at harvesting Fiber and Silk, making it a valuable gatherer for early to mid-game resources. It can be airlifted by Argentavis, Karkinos, Quetzal, or Tusoteuthis for fast deployment across the map.
Players typically tame the Thylacoleo to efficiently farm high-value crafting materials like Silk and Pelt while maintaining strong combat utility.

More about taming the Thylacoleo
Thylacoleo must be knocked out before taming. Use a Chain Bola or trap it with a Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap to immobilize it. Tranq Arrows from a Bow or Crossbow work well for sedation.
Tame with Extraordinary Kibble for fastest results. Cooked Prime Meat is a viable alternative. The process takes about 26 minutes and requires approximately 48 Narcotics on official settings. Use the calculator below for your settings.
