Description

The final creature you need to tame is one you should strive to emulate; the armored scorpid. It strikes quickly and confidently; to control a force such as this is your fate as a hunter. When you return, I will bestow you with the skills you will need to tame an animal of your choosing; this creature will be yours to command. Under your control, your pet will gain experience alongside you. I will also show you how to call it and dismiss it as you wish.
