 You can tame an animal by activating an item that it will eat, then right-click the animal and choose '''Tame'''.
 * For some animals the item is [[seeds]], for others it is [[meat]] or [[fish]].
 ** For information on what animals eat, check the [[:Category:Bestiary|creature's Wurmpedia page]].

 * Note: Food eaten while taming does go towards their hunger level.
 * You can only have one pet at a time; so if you have a pet and tame another, your first pet will become untamed.
 ** Pets that become untamed will return to their normal hostile or non-hostile stance; ie. if the animal is normally hostile then it will begin attacking guards and players.

 * Diseased horses seem to be able to be tamed with much less-than-normal risk of going aggressive in the process.

 * Taming can be done while moving, so long as you do not move too far away (two tiles) from the tile you are currently working on.

 The taming status can be used to know when your animal will go untame. When you tame an animal numerous times, then at a 42 taming skill, for example, your animal will have a maximum "tamed level" of [42]. Over time, this value will [[decay]]. Examining the animal to check its status can tell you on average how high this level is, with "upset" being the least reliable status, as your animal could go untame without further warning.
