Lynx

Lynxes, called lynx kittens as babies, are medium-sized, solitary feline predator found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, cold bogs, tundra, and ice sheets. Although not too dangerous to a moderately experienced, well-equipped hunter, lynxes can menace livestock and pets, and probably will where food is scarce. Their fur has excellent insulation value.

Hunting[edit]

Lynxes are fast and have a fairly high chance to turn manhunter upon being attacked, so caution is advised when hunting. You may want to have a couple of people drafted when hunting a Lynx, but a Lynx can be kited by most with a few leg shots and in enough pain to adversely affect consciousness.

Taming[edit]

Lynx can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or bought pre-tamed from a trading ship.

Training[edit]

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:

*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.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
↑ A Scratch attack that varies from animal to animal. Each front paw allows one attack.
