Behaviour[]
- Wild: Yaks move slowly individually.
- When ridden: Yaks buck jerkily and at speed (increased at level 6) but can smash animals and trees, and later, anything.
- When angry: Yaks throw the player off with a very small jerk.
- In habitat: They graze the ground.
- Selected in habitat: They wiggle their body like jelly.
Tips[]
Yaks are useful at high distances due to their ability to smash anything but brontosauruses and Chinese dragons (level 3) and their high speed, allowing the player to ride one for a long distance. To tame yaks, it is difficult at first, but once the player upgrades the habitat to level 3 it becomes much easier as the player does not have to avoid rocks anymore. In the Mountains particularly, they are useful for clearing narrow sections with a large proportion of obstacles.
