The Smalland Ladybug—a tiny, colorful creature of the Oak Forest and your potential best friend in Smalland. You can be a hoarder, in need of extra inventory, or just want to tame those cute little ladybugs. Before you go out looking for them there are a few things you need to know about how to tame a Smalland Ladybug.
Why Are Ladybugs So Special?
First, let’s talk about why you even want one of these adorable bugs following you around. Ladybugs in Smalland are passive creatures with one standout feature—they can be tamed and used as mobile storage! They come with a 5x4 inventory grid, making them a walking chest you can take with you.
But wait, there’s more:
- Non-Aggressive Behavior: Ladybugs won’t attack you unless you attack them first.
- Resource Drops: If you decide not to tame one, Ladybugs drop handy items like Bug’s Lymph, Insect Fat, and Insect Eggs.
- Cluster Behavior: They tend to hang out in groups, so spotting one is usually pretty easy.
Where to Find Ladybugs
Ladybugs call the Oak Forest home. This biome is lush, green, and teeming with life—perfect for a Ladybug sanctuary. You’ll find clusters of Ladybugs roaming peacefully during the day.
But keep this in mind:
- Daytime Spawn: Normal Ladybugs only appear during the day.
- Nocturnal Ladybugs: At night, the friendly daytime Ladybugs are replaced by their evil cousins—Nocturnal Ladybugs. These aggressive bugs won’t hesitate to charge and attack you. Not only can’t they be tamed, but they’ll also despawn at sunrise.
So, if taming is your goal, stick to daylight hours.
Taming a Ladybug
Taming a Ladybug isn’t as simple as walking up and saying, “Hey, wanna team up?” You’ll need to prepare and follow a specific process.
Step 1: Craft a Ladybug Travel KitBefore you can tame a Ladybug, you need the Ladybug Travel Kit in your inventory. Without it, there’s no taming prompt.
- How to Craft It: Check your crafting menu and gather the required materials.
- Pro Tip: Always carry at least one Ladybug Travel Kit when exploring the Oak Forest. You never know when you’ll find the perfect companion.
Step 2: Find and Approach Your TargetOnce you’ve spotted a Ladybug, it’s time to get to work. Ladybugs are passive, but they’re also skittish.
- Choose Your Target: Look for a Ladybug wandering alone or in a smaller group to avoid accidental chaos.
- Stay Calm: Don’t attack too aggressively—your goal is taming, not obliterating.
Step 3: Damage the LadybugHere’s the tricky part: You need to lower the Ladybug’s health to below 50% before the taming prompt appears.
- Use a Quick Weapon: Opt for something like a Wood Sword or Grasshopper Scythe to deal precise damage without overdoing it.
- Avoid Killing It: This isn’t a boss fight—stop hitting as soon as you see the taming option.
Step 4: Feed and TameOnce the Ladybug’s health is low enough, you’ll get the prompt to feed it. Select the option, and congratulations—you’ve just tamed a Ladybug!
What Happens After Taming?
Now that you’ve tamed your Ladybug, here’s what it can do:
- Mobile Storage: The Ladybug comes with a 5x4 inventory space where you can stash items.
- Follows You Around: Your Ladybug will loyally trail behind you unless you tell it to stay put.
- Release Option: If you decide you don’t need it anymore, you can release the Ladybug back into the wild.
Important Note: Tamed Ladybugs cannot be mounted, so don’t expect them to serve as transport. Think of them as your trusty storage buddy, not your ride.
The Dark Side of Ladybugs: Nocturnal Variants
As cute as Ladybugs are during the day, their nighttime counterparts are a whole different story.
Nocturnal Ladybugs:- Appearance: These Ladybugs have a dark, reflective shell that looks as intimidating as their behavior.
- Aggression: Unlike their peaceful daytime cousins, Nocturnal Ladybugs will attack any player nearby.
- Attack Style: They charge at you with their wings, dealing quick, small hits in succession.
- Untameable: No matter how much you want a cool-looking nighttime Ladybug, taming is impossible.
Your best bet? Avoid them altogether. Wait for sunrise, when normal Ladybugs respawn.
