Title: Kit the researcher and a wild Thrumbro
Post by: John_Bigless on August 25, 2016, 08:38:37 AM
So, it started out like this. The pirates from Lance Outfit wanted to raid us, and they bumped into a wild thrumbro that did not have a nice day. The thrumbro began attacking the raiders, but the raiders downed the thrumbro in numbers leaving it there with a death sentence. After the raiders struck our base (and failed catastrophically) i sent out my best medic to take care of the wild thumbro. After a few minutes of healing, suddenly the thumbro and Kit developped a bond. and suddenly, the thrumbro became one of ours. She named the thrumbro Grover.

Here are two pictures.

That's awesome! I didn't know that colonists could bond untamed animals. I need to test this!

Edit: I love that the thrumbo has brain damage from the pirate attack. I invision a derpy drooling thrumbo named Grover wandering around a colony licking walls, and it makes me happy.

My opinion of thrumbos : Giant balls of fluffy fur.

Pawns will often bond with animals while healing them. However, I did not know bonding automatically tamed an animal as well.

If the animal is wild, turns out yes.

I didn't actually know what made me heal the wild animals in the first place, suddenly now just realized it gives your healers a chance to farm exp.
