"Not only can you harvest Crafting components from Creatures, you can also find creature Eggs in Crashlands. Take that egg back to your base, give it some time to incubate, and hatch your very own baby pet/death machine. Use your new pet as arm candy, a sidekick in battle, or even as a crafting station!"
Occasionally, creatures may drop eggs, which can be crafted into incubators. Once placed, a timer will appear over the incubator, showing how many more minutes it will take for the egg to hatch. Once the timer is up, the egg will vibrate rapidly. Slapping it in this state will cause a baby creature to appear in the incubator, which can then be named.
When a creature is tamed it will rest in its incubator, waiting for a command. You can then do 3 actions to your pet.
"Feed" it to get its sweet delicacy such as milk from a Wompit.
"Embiggen" your pet to make it, you guessed it, bigger and stronger. Each creature has its own item to cause the growth. Essence must be collected from the bigger breed. Such as to make a Wompit grow, you will need Sterling Wompit Essence. Along with the Essence you will need various items to craft such as flatstone.
"Walk" your pet to have it fight by your side.
