Tameables

Description

This is a list of some of the most commonly used tameable Monsters and animals as well as rare spawn tameables. The maintainers of this archive were ably assisted by many helpful tamers including Shortbus and Great Dragon.

Note: The locations of the tameables, particularly the rarer spawns, may change at the whim of the UOForever Game Masters! The loremasters maintaining this archive will endeavour to ensure the information here is kept current.

Warning: Certain tameables, such as Swamp Dragons, are very attractive targets for pet trappers who will try to lure your pets to their house to trap it. For more information please see the Protecting Your Pets page.

Bonding

Pet bonding is possible on UO Forever. This can be achieved through the normal means - feed once, wait a week, feed again. For the impatient, there is also a pet bonding deed which can be purchased from the Donation Coin vendors. A pet ball can also be purchased to link to your pet which then allows you to summon the pet in case you lose it deep in a dungeon. Be aware that some unfriendly folk like to lure pets - Be careful where you leave your pet and if it is valuable to you, be sure to get a pet ball!

Control

You can use the following form to calculate your chance to control your pet:

A crafter's best friend - These friendly beetles act as a rideable pack animal. Great for resource gathering and generally moving heavy loads around without the frustration and risk of dragging a pack horse around with you. The beetles have a chance to spawn in the Spider Cave. While they do not require a particularly high level of taming, you may need to look out for the other malicious spawn in the Spider Cave.

This rare hue of giant beetle seems to spawn with griefers and trolls who will try their best to ruin your chance of taming it. Even without the griefers and trolls, it is a hard task to tame these elusive creatures. Be prepared for a long taming session!

Young Dragon

• Location: Destard, Fire Temple & Temple Island
• Follower Slots: 2
• Max Stats: 550 STR, 550 HP, 105 Dex, 475 INT

A useful ally for a training tamer. While not as powerful as a fully grown Dragon, these younglings can still pack a powerful punch considering their relatively low taming requirement. They spawn with normal Dragon red and grey, a range of greens and other several other hues.

White Wyrms lack a dragon's fire breathing ability but they make up for this with a high-level of Magery. They are also known be slightly more temperamental than dragons and may not always listen to your commands. They can spawn in a few different hues, including a pure white, a "dirty" white and ice blue.

Deep Water Dragon

The white wyrm of the oceans. These winged creatures have the same power as a white wyrm but they can also fly over water. A valuable asset for anyone wishing to pursue MIBs, Whirlpools and other adventures at sea.

  • To Transfer: 105 (110 to bond naturally)
• Location: Ice Dungeon Level 3

For those not wishing to pursue the costly Meta Pets, the death beetle is an excellent pet to have in any tamer's pet arsenal. The beetle's high level of poisoning can make it significantly easier to take down some big ugly monsters.

  • To Tame: 95

• Stats: 37 STR, 63 HP, 69 DEX, 9 INT (This is an example, Max Stats are not known)

The unicorn, the most fabulous of all mounts, spawn commonly as non-casters that can be ridden by anyone. There are however rarer spawns which are significantly more fabulous and intelligent that have the ability to cast. The casting version also has the ability to sense when its owner is in danger and will occasionally cast a heal or cure on the owner. The two types can be easily distinguished by their stats. The non-casting version has similar stats to a regular horse. The casting unicorns can only be ridden by female tamers.

  • To Tame: 95
  • To Transfer: 95

  • To Tame: ?

  • To Tame: 110+

• Max Stats: ??

It may take over 110 taming to tame a Swamp Dragon but anyone can control and ride it once tamed. They can be armoured with a dragon barding deed crafted with Blacksmithing. This armor reduces all damage dealt to the rider by 18% for any metal. Exceptionally crafted armor gives another 2% for a total max of 20%.

The Swamp Dragon starts out as a creature called a Chaos Dragoon or Chaos Dragoon Elite, a humanoid riding the Swamp Dragon. Once the Chaos Dragoon is killed and knocked off, the Swamp Dragon can then be tamed. The Elite version is appropriately named and will take some beating!

Rideable Wolf

Hues

• Required Taming
  • To Tame: ~45
  • To Transfer: 0
• Location: Yew Orc Fort
• Follower Slots: 1
• Max Stats: ??

These friendly pups, a favourite amongst the orcs, can be ridden by anyone. They are not useful as offensive pets but are sometimes used as a fashion statement. They spawn in a range of hues, including several metallic ones such as copper, agapite and valorite. The rarest spawning hue is ultra white (hue# 2498) - This version popular amongst the West Britain Bank fashionistas. Thanks to Ryker Core for providing a complete list of wolf hues.

Rideable Polar Bear

  • To Tame: 75.1
• Location: In a snow cave in the North West corner for Dagger Isle
• Follower Slots: 1
• Spawn: Frequent
• Stats: 126 STR / 123 HP / 103 DEX / 48 INT

Much like the rideable wolf, these cuddly bears are not offensive pets. There are no known rare hues. These are not to be confused with night bears which require a high-level of taming.

Drake

• Required Taming: 84.3
• Location: Destard, Fire Temple, & Temple Island
• Follower Slots: 2
• Max Stats: 430 STR, 430 HP, 152 DEX, 140 INT

As with dragons, drakes come in the classic red and grey shades. Within the drake family you will also find a blue version known as "a pathaleo drake" and white version known, unsurprisingly named "a white drake" which is often, surprisingly, not white! Drakes are rarely used by tamers as they have low overall stats and even new tamers are best of using a Young Dragon rather than a Drake.
