Saddle
Put it on a tamed horse, kangaroo, bear or behemoth, then right click the animal to ride it. F gets you off.
In the game
How to get it
Five hides on an iron tree: a 3×2 grid of hides (leather or fur) with an iron ingot in the middle of the bottom row.
What it is for
Ride your tamed animal: without a saddle no animal can be ridden.
Why it exists
A mount is earned twice: once when you tame it, once when you saddle it.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
The saddle makes a tamed animal a mount.
Recipe
A 3×2 grid: five cells of hide -- Leather or fur, mixed as you like -- and an Iron ingot in the middle of the bottom row.
How to use it
- Tame a horse, a kangaroo, a bear or a behemoth.
- Right click the tamed, grown-up animal with the saddle in hand: the saddle goes on.
- Right click it with an empty hand to mount; F to dismount.
A saddle on a wild animal or on a baby is simply ignored. The Moon's giant bird takes its own sky saddle: see Pearlwing.
