The '''Ridgeback''' is a riding lizard that only fights when attacked. There's also a '''savage ridgeback''' with a different look and the same stats. Both need 83.1 Animal Taming, but once tamed they '''always obey''' and any owner can bond with them.

== Overview ==
* '''In-game name:''' ''a ridgeback'' (''a ridgeback corpse'') or ''a savage ridgeback'' (''a savage ridgeback corpse'').
* '''Looks:''' the ridgeback uses body 187 and the savage ridgeback body 188.
* '''Behavior:''' both leave you alone unless you attack them. The ridgeback fights in melee with the animal AI; the savage ridgeback uses the melee AI.

Below the minimum Animal Taming you have no chance. Each previous owner makes it harder to tame.

* '''Success chance.''' For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt is about '''34% at 100.0 skill''', and it improves as your skill rises. Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
* '''Don't hurt it.''' If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with ''"The animal is too angry to continue taming."''
* '''Stay close.''' You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
* '''Obedience.''' Once tamed, both always obey their owner; their code skips the usual control check, whatever your skill.
* '''Re-taming.''' If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds (''"That wasn't even challenging."'').
* After its first tame, its skills drop to '''90%''' of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.

=== Bonding ===
Only the owner can bond with a ridgeback, and its script waives the usual skill requirement, so any owner can bond with it. Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after '''7 days''' to finish. When you see ''"Your pet has bonded with you!"'', it's done.

=== Riding ===
Double-click your tamed ridgeback to ride it. It can run '''4,480 steps''' before it gets too tired to move, compared with 3,840 for a horse. Only running counts (walking doesn't tire it unless you're overloaded), and it recovers 1 step per second while it isn't running.

== Loot ==
It carries no loot.

=== Carving ===
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
* '''1 raw ribs'''
* '''12 spined hides''', doubled to '''24''' in Felucca

== Tips ==
* Taming is the hard part: at 100.0 skill each attempt has about a 34% chance.
* After that it's easy: it always obeys, and you can bond with it whatever your skill.
* It can run 4,480 steps, more than a horse.
* It's fragile for its taming level (41–54 hit points, 3–5 damage), so treat it as a mount, not a fighter.
* Carve the corpse for 12 spined hides (24 in Felucca).
