Tamed
Create three or more bolas, tranq arrows, bullets, or darts, and narcotics in case they attempt to wake up. On the beaches, locate one. Sprinkle some bola over it. Use your tranq items (wait five seconds between each shot; if you don't, you'll only cause damage). Push mollusks or fish meat down the animal's throat. If it tries to wake up, use narcotics. Likewise, hold off until you can make the saddle. The only other option is for survivors to steal a Khastwim egg. Khastwim chicks need to be fed or milked as soon as they hatch. Up so noobs can see.
