• Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt rises by about 2% per skill point and reaches 100% at 73.0 skill. 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, its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so it always obeys its owner.
• 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 bull frog. Its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so there's no Animal Taming requirement to bond. 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.

Loot

Every bull frog carries:

• Gold: about 1–25 in total (from its "Poor" loot)

It may also carry:

• A musical instrument (well under 1%: about 0.02%)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

• 1 raw ribs
• 4 hides

Tips

• Taming starts at 23.1 and always succeeds from 73.0.
• It always obeys its owner.
• Its melee damage is only 1–2, so it's no fighter.
• It carries a little gold (Poor loot).
