Animal Taming

“What is that monster blocking the front door?”
“It’s a dragon. It followed me home. Can I keep it?”

To tame a beast to accept you as master requires patience, nerve and a power of will. The rewards of studying Animal Taming are considered by some to be well worth the time invested.

Tamers have long-been considered extremely useful and versatile in fighting monsters and, to a lesser extent, players as well.

One of their most important disadvantages, losing pets due to death, was circumvented somewhat by the introduction of Pet Bonding.
