The Emu is a large, flightless and incredibly aggressive bird found in arid shrublands and deserts.

Taming

Emu can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship. Emus will always turn manhunter on a failed tame attempt.

Summary

Emus are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

A female emu produces 1 emu egg every 3.33 day when fertilized. Emus will not lay unfertilized eggs.

Analysis

Emus are one of many egg-laying animals that are inferior to chickens. 2 hens eat less food than 1 emu, and each hen lays 3.33 eggs for every emu egg. While an emu egg is worth 2 chicken eggs, a single hen remains superior for egg production, let alone 2. Hens do not need to be fertilized, which adds a further advantage.

While chickens cannot be found in the wild, the dromedary is superior to the emu. They can be found in all biomes emu reside in. Dromedaries produce more food (in the form of milk), both per day and per nutrition fed. They are easier to tame, won't go manhunter on a failed tame, and can be ridden on a caravan. So if dromedaries are available, there's little point in keeping an emu pet.

Therefore, emus are mostly relegated to hunting fodder, the occasional manhunter pack, and to add a little ambiance to the desert biomes.

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
