All Tamable Animals and Where to Find Them in Once Human

Once Human celebrated a random Thursday afternoon with a monstrous update, which included a feature no one expect—ranching! It’s possible to capture many of the animals you encounter across Nalcott, which you can then keep at your base and tame. Doing so is a time-consuming process, but it’s worth it as they can either become a passive source of resources or a new guardian on your base.

There are 16 possible animals you can tame. Though it’s important to note that any corrupted variants you see are not tamable. If you’re curious about this list, check out the section below.

All the Animals You Can’t Tame in Once Human

Eagle-eyed players will know there are quite a few animals in the game that aren’t on the list above. It’s possible you’ve seen foxes, raccoons, capybaras, and even jaguars. The update also brought a selection of new animals into the game, including pelicans, crows, and snapping turtles. Unfortunately, any animal not on the list is currently not tamable.

You can instantly tell what animal is tamable or not by looking at the white line on the health bar. This line indicates how low you have to lower an animal’s health to be able to capture it. If an animal is lacking this line, it can’t be caught.

Eclipse and Corrupted animals are also uncatachable. Which is why Harborside and Blackfell crocodiles don’t make the list!

Once Human is available to play now.
