Xoloitzcuintli are commonly found in the wastes scavenging for food in small packs. Though they are primarily scavengers and carrion feeders, Xoloitzcuintli have developed incredibly tough skin to protect from UV radiation, making them surprisingly difficult to take out, especially in packs, making them quite capable of taking down small prey or defending themselves from predators when the time comes. Though they are wild animals, domestication is in their blood, and survivors have found them quite easy to befriend during treks in the wasteland so long as they're willing to share some food, making excellent temporary body guards for small caravans or stranded travelers. Domesticated: Those that have brought Xoloitzcuintli back to their homes have noticed another one of their remarkable adaptions that allowed them to survive in the wild; they can heal exceptionally fast while at rest. I've seen Xoloitzcuintli heal from injuries that would retire any other animal simply by relaxing for a few days. Even more extraordinarily, domesticated Xoloitzcuintli seem to have the ability to share this healing factor with humans, people that interact with Xoloitzcuintli have been seen healing from near mortal injuries at a rate that almost seems impossible, our medical bay keeps one or two of these guys on hand at all times. In short, their adaptions make tamed Xoloitzcuintli both excellent guard dogs, and faithful companions to the sick and injured Taming method: Beginning the taming process is as simple as initiating a passive tame, however once taming has begun it and any members of its pack will immediately begin acting as a tamed animal, following the player and defending them from threats so long as they have not gone too long without being fed, or the player doesn't leave the area. xoloitzcuintli will have an internal domestication timer that goes up the higher their taming percentage is, if you miss a feed early on it will wander off quickly, but if you are further into the taming process it will stay partially domesticated even if you die and return, so long as you don't take too long. You can also prolong the domestication timer without raising taming by petting the xoloitzcuintli, if you only want to use it as a temporary guard animal Abilities: In addition to a natural armor, tamed xoloitzcuintli can be pet to provide the player with a long lasting healing aura, which causes you to regenerate health significantly quicker until the buff wears off. xoloitzcuintli can also be told to sit, which will cause it to receive the same buff, they would also have a togglable option to rest when injured, allowing them to heal to full automatically after a fight

(singleplayer) I got a shadowmane mutation, got a nice cyan on the body highlights, also got a cyan spots mutation yesterday, so I'm pretty hyped. Still looking for a good main body mutation though
