What Are Lassos?

Lassos are your primary tool for catching animals in Catch And Tame. Each lasso has two key stats:

💪
Strength: Determines which animal rarities you can catch

Higher strength = Higher tier animals

📏
Range: How far you can throw the lasso

Higher range = Easier catching from distance

Storm Wrangler is worth the grind - Only way to catch weather-event mythicals
Be patient saving for upgrades - Don't waste money on unnecessary pen expansions early
Higher strength ≠ harder to use - Storm Wrangler catches Commons just as easily
Range matters more than you think - Catch animals before they despawn
