How to tame a Grasshopper in Smalland: Survive the Wilds
Smalland: Survive the Wilds lets you take on the role of a miniature humanoid let loose in the wilds where you must craft to survive in the game. Being such a small character, the use of mounts in Smalland: Survive the Wilds like a Grasshopper can be extremely useful for larger-scale traversal across the map.

How to get a Grasshopper mount
There are several spawn points for Grasshoppers near the starting area, near the NPC Herne or the Great Tree, at the approximate center of the map.
To tame a grasshopper, you need to unlock and make a Cauldron via a Stonecutter.
At a cauldron, you must then make a Grasshopper Treat with the following ingredients:
- Petal (get these by chopping down various flowering plants, like Mauve Plants)
- Seed Oil x2 (you can make this at a Stonecutter, by converting seeds like Rye Seeds)
- Insect Eggs x3 (these are dropped upon defeating insects like Ladybugs and Butterflies).

Once you have the treat in your inventory, you must then hunt down a Grasshopper and get it to below 50% health. Once this is done, you will receive the prompt to give it the treat.
Succeed the prompt and you will have tamed the Grasshopper. If you then close the game, next time you boot it up the tamed Grasshopper will be at the base. Grasshoppers are great mounts for jumping long distances.

As of writing, you can only have one mount at a time, and each mount has special perks. These are as follows:
- Ladybug: can store extra items.
- Grasshopper: can jump long distances.
- Wolf Spider: these mounts can attack other creatures while mounted.
- Damselfly: These mounts use stamina but can fly.
- Gecko: These mounts can climb surfaces.
As Smalland: Survive the Wilds is still in early access, more mounts may be added to the game over time.
