Pelt is a resource that can be acquired by harvesting corpses with most tools and dinosaurs. Pelt is used to craft  Fur Armor, which provides excellent cold protection.

Gathering

The most efficient way to harvest Pelt is by using a tamed  Direwolf with high melee damage, although Thylacoleo and  Sabertooth will work nearly as well. Another highly efficient tool for harvesting it is the  Metal Hatchet, but it can be harvested with a  Stone Hatchet and  Picks as well. Other low-level items will only occasionally harvest Pelt.

•  Ovis

Pelt has two substitutes,  Human Hair and  Wool. Everything that can be crafted with Pelt can also be crafted with these items, except for the  Lance.

Crafting

Pelt can be used to craft the following items:

•  Dino Santa Hat Skin
•  Lance
•  Santa Costume Skin
•  Santa Hat Skin

•  Fur Gauntlets
•  Fur Leggings
•  Procoptodon Saddle

Notes/Trivia

• One of the easiest ways to get Pelt is to tame a Direwolf and then run around killing Mammoths. You will get around 20-50 Pelt per Mammoth.
• Outside of the Snow Biome you can get pelt from  Castoroides,  Equus,  Dire Bear,  Megaloceros,  Otter,  Ovis,  Megatherium and  Procoptodon.
  • These help you make Fur Armor BEFORE you go to the Snow Biome, which almost always freezes players with only a Hide Armor set.
• On Scorched Earth, Pelt can be collected from  Direwolves,  Equus,  Megatheriums,  Procoptodons, and  Yutyrannus, as well as from Supply Crates.
