# Riding Water Dragons

Learn how to tame and ride your own Water Dragon.

## Taming Your Dragon

To tame a Water Dragon, you first need to show respect by bowing to it (hold `Shift` for about a second). Then, right-click the Dragon to mount it. While mounted, hold 10 or more pieces of meat in your hand and do not dismount until the Dragon is tamed. Be patient, as this process can take some time.
