Any experienced hunter will admit, after you acknowledge how cool-looking their rare pet is, that there is little discernable difference between pet types – the key factors are level, loyalty, and abilities learned. So just pick a beast to your preference. Some have slightly higher life, or better armor, or higher damage. I prefer bears, because they can tank and their diets are easy to cater to, which allows you to stay in the field longer.

Taming involves staying put and taking the damage. Pick a pet at your own level if you can withstand the process. You can use a freeze trap if need be. The problem with larger beasts, however, is that a knockdown attack cancels the taming process, and then you usually have to run or die. For this reason, I usually do my taming near a body of water so I can shake off the beast, flee, and heal and try again if I have to.

I take it most animals won't follow you into water, then? I never thought to try that.

That woulda saved a few silver. :whistling:
