No
Yes

Basic Info
Dossier
This section is intended to be an exact copy of what the survivor Helena Walker, the author of the dossiers, has written. There may be some discrepancies between this text and the in-game creature.
- Wild
This is for the text on the dossier image written underneath "Wild".
- Known Information
This is for the text on the dossier image that relates to neither wild nor domesticated creatures, but is just general info.
- Domesticated
This is for the text on the dossier image written underneath "Domesticated".
Behavior
Add a description of how the creature behaves. Does it attack anything it sees? Is it a passive creature that runs when threatened? Maybe it does something unique like throwing poo(Mesopithecus) or roll into an impenetrable ball(Doedicurus)?
Appearance
Add a description for the creature. Try and keep it limited to in-game appearance and avoid simply copying from Wikipedia or some other site not related to the game.
Drops
What can be gathered by harvesting the creature? These items should be bulleted and link to the item they are referring to.

This table contains the stats a creature has at Level 1, as well as the amount that each stat increases by when it is leveled up both in the wild and when domesticated.

Taming
Note: The content of this section is temporary until the necessary data is released for a Taming Table to be created for the creature.
The estimates on the maximum and minimum number of Tranquilizer Arrows it will take to knock the creature unconscious should refer to shots taken with an engram-quality Wooden Bow, not Crossbows, Compound Bows, or upgraded bows from supply crates.
| Level | Tranq Arrows | Narcotics / Narcoberries | food | time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ? | ? | ? | ?  Raw Meat |
00:00 |
Note that the values are for optimal cases, always bring extra supplies!
For a level-dependent count of resources needed, try an external taming calculator.
Preferred Food
What does the creature prefer to eat? Does it have a favorite Kibble? Does it prefer Advanced Crops or Berries, and if so, which ones?
KO Strategy
How is the creature tamed? Is it tamed violently or non-violently? Does the creature have something about it that makes taming difficult/different, such as exceptionally high movement speed or torpor?
Utility
Roles
What roles does the creature fill? Is it a good tank that can take a lot of damage? Does its high Weight stat make it a good pack animal?
Collectibles
What resources can the creature gather? The resource-gathering is ranked on a 5-star-ranking.
