How to tame Drohmble in Core Keeper Bags and Blasts Update
Deep in the Desert of Beginnings, the Oasis biome hides one of the strangest creatures in Core Keeper—the Drohmble. This cattle species has adapted to the harsh desert environment, looking like a mix between a camel and a llama. While it may seem like just another farm animal, the Drohmble has a special use: when fed, it produces Blasting Dung, an essential material for crafting explosives.
Though it's possible to pet a Drohmble, it takes some effort. These creatures aren’t aggressive but won’t immediately trust just anyone. Finding one, bringing it back home, and gaining its trust is a process, but once settled, a Drohmble can be a valuable (and amusing) addition to any base.
Finding Drohmble in the Desert
Drohmbles spawn exclusively in the Oasis sub-biome of the Desert of Beginnings. Oases are scattered across the desert, appearing as small patches of water surrounded by lush vegetation. If an Oasis is found, there's a good chance a few Drohmbles are nearby. They don’t respawn naturally, so any remaining Drohmbles must be manually bred or transported once an area is explored.
Approaching one isn’t difficult. Unlike hostile creatures, Drohmbles won’t attack on sight. However, they have a unique movement pattern, sometimes speeding up unexpectedly. While this won’t be a major issue, keeping an eye on their behavior helps avoid unnecessary trouble.
Bringing Drohmble Back to Base
After locating a Drohmble, the next step is getting it home. There are several ways to do this. The easiest is to lure it using farmable plants - holding out food will make a Drohmble follow, though not at great speed. Another method is using a leash, which gives more control over its movements. A cattle box can also safely transport it without worrying about escape attempts.
Drohmbles are sturdy creatures, regenerating health over time but can still be harmed. If the desert journey is long, avoiding combat is a good idea. Once at the base, a safe, enclosed space with plenty of food will help keep the Drohmble happy.
Feeding and Taking Care of Drohmble
Drohmbles eat farmable plants, consuming two at a time to produce one Blasting Dung. This dung is a highly valuable resource for making explosives at the laboratory table. Keeping a steady supply of food will ensure a constant production cycle.
For those looking to expand their herd, breeding is possible. Two well-fed Drohmbles will eventually produce a Drohmble Calf, which will grow into an adult after eating eight times. The calf stage is temporary; it will behave like any other Drohmble once it matures.
How to Pet Drohmble
Petting a Drohmble isn’t as simple as walking up and interacting with it. The key is patience. A well-fed and comfortable Drohmble is more likely to allow interaction. It’s best to approach slowly and wait for it to stop moving before petting it. If it turns aggressive or walks away, giving it time before trying again usually helps.
Unlike some creatures, Drohmbles don’t react dramatically when petted, but the ability to interact with them adds personality to a cattle farm. Over time, regular feeding and care make them more accepting of attention.
The Benefits of Keeping Drohmble
Beyond petting, the biggest advantage of keeping Drohmbles is the production of Blasting Dung. The supply remains steady as long as they are fed, making explosive crafting much easier. Unlike other creatures, their passive nature won’t cause trouble around the base.
For those needing extra resources, adult Drohmbles drop additional Blasting Dung when defeated, while Drohmble Calves drop Marbled Meat. Though not their primary use, these drops make them even more valuable.
Finding, taming, and petting a Drohmble becomes an adventure. Tracking one down in the Oasis, luring it back, setting up a farm, and finally earning its trust creates a rewarding experience. While it may take some patience, having a friendly, dung-producing desert companion makes it all worthwhile.
