Is there a way to tame manhunters? I have a group of manhunter rhinos on the map and I want to tame one of them, so I can use him to attack enemies.

The last time I tried it, I captured a downed (but alive) boomalope and healed it, but once it was healed, it exploded. I fear that the rhino would attack my colonists if it is healed.
Is there another way to tame it?

You can tame downed animals. I haven't tried taming healthy manhunters.

Okay, I healed the rhino now and now he is a normal rhino, no manhunter anymore. Now I can tame him.

Manhunters are a bit strange. Once I've seen a hare become mad, then it went to sleep, then woke up as a normal hare.

Yeah there are 2 different kinds of manhunter, one is similar to berserk with the manhunter snapping out of it after a time, and the other one is permanent til they die or get downed, probably made for the manhunter packs. Funny thing is, you get the option to tame a manhunter, will it still be a manhunter if you succeed in taming? ;D
