Most stabled creatures lay '''eggs''' passively (see [[Breeding#Passive egg-laying|Breeding]]); those eggs are cooked into six tiers of kibble — Plain, Savory, Hearty, Rich, Pristine and Primal — each matched to a tame-level band. Feeding a tame its matching kibble makes the attempt faster and the result better: stronger starting stats, more [[Taming]] XP, and a shorter tame. It is the food behind perfect-quality tames. | ||
