  • Anyone can try. Its minimum is below 0, so you can tame it even with no Animal Taming skill.
  • 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 31.0 skill (about 38% even at 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 jack rabbit. 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

It carries no loot.

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

  • 1 raw ribs
  • 1 hides

Tips

  • Its minimum is −18.9: at 0 skill each attempt has about a 38% chance, and it's certain from 31.0.
  • It always obeys its owner.
  • It has 9 hit points, so it's not a fighter.
  • Carve the corpse for 1 raw ribs and 1 hide.
