Lox

Plains Monsters
What to know

Lox has 1,000 health and spawns in the plains.

It takes extra damage from fire; it resists blunt, slash and frost; spirit does nothing to it at all. Pierce lands at full damage, so that is what to bring.

Its hardest hit is bite at 130 slash, out of 2 attacks.

Of everything craftable, Thunderblood Crossbow, Lightning Strike and Frostfire Crossbow put the most damage through what it resists.

It always drops Lox Meat and Lox Pelt.

It can be tamed with Cloudberries, Barley and Flax.

About

Lox is a tameable Plains grazer with 1,000 health that bites for 130 slash in a 5.5 meter arc every 4 seconds and rears up to stomp for 120 blunt in a 2.5 meter circle every 12 seconds. Blunt, slash and frost are resisted and spirit does nothing, but fire is a clean weakness. It is tamed with Cloudberries, Barley or Flax, breeds once a pair is tame, and takes a Lox Saddle to become a mount that steers with the camera and has no reverse. Because herds drift back to the same ground, scattering cloudberries and leaving the area is a workable way to tame several at once well before Plains gear. Each kill gives 4 to 6 Lox Meat and 2 to 3 Lox Pelt, with the Lox Trophy at 10 percent.

Fighting it

Their bite reaches over five meters and the stomp flattens whatever gets missed by it, but they are slow to turn: circle to the flank and stay there. Blunt and slash bounce; pierce and fire work. Or skip the fight, since a tamed one carries you across the Plains ignoring deathsquitos entirely.

Taming

Scatter cloudberries, barley or flax where a herd grazes and keep your distance; no pen holds an angry lox, so distance is the pen. Once tame, a saddle makes it a mount and a walking siege engine.

Each 64 m zone keeps its own timer per entry and rolls the chance once per interval while loaded; a zone never loaded before rolls the moment you arrive. The spawn lands 40 to 80 m from a player, never inside a base unless noted, and "max near you" counts the loaded area around that zone. Dungeon and camp spawners are separate and not counted here.

Spawn command
