Ingredients

The Taxidermy Tool is an item introduced in Extinction and also available on Genesis: Part 2, Lost Island and Fjordur.

Overview

The Taxidermy Tool is used to collect the  Dermis of any Creature with a harvestable corpse. Simply hitting a tamed Creatures is enough to collect their  Dermis. The name of the dermis is determined by the named creature, either living or dead, at the point of hitting with it.

A Creature's Dermis can only be collected once. However, dermis collected from hitting baby creatures with it counts as a separate dermis, meaning a survivor raising a baby can keep record of it as a "Baby", "Juvenile", "Adolescent" and finally, "Adult", making it a total of 4 collectible dermis per growth stage for a bred creature.  Cryopods can be used to gain infinite  Dermis.

Notes

  • In Singleplayer mode, you can collect the Dermis from your character's corpse. However the hair and dye does not render when displayed on the Taxidermy Base.
  • When the Taxidermy Tool is used on a corpse for harvesting other resources it will yield more  Meat than a  Stone Hatchet.
  • The Taxidermy Tool has a maximum reach identical to a  Spear or a  Pike.
  • When a dermis is collected from a  Crystal Wyvern, and placed on a taxidermy base, the eyes will always appear orange.
  • The dermis of a newborn reaper (facehugger appearance) actually looks like a very tiny adult when displayed. Tested on Official servers using small and medium displays.
