A Reaper Queen can’t be tamed and domesticated ones are not capable of taming, so it’s clear that the most powerful creature in the game is also the hardest to obtain. To get a Reaper, you must be impregnated by a Reaper Queen that can only be found in the radioactive areas of the map. A Reaper can fire poison projectiles, roar, spin, and bite to deal 75 damage.
