Beast Tamer (魔獣使い (ビーストテイマー) ) is a job class that originally hailed from YGGDRASIL.

Background

Beast Tamer is the kind of class which involves subjugating monsters to become pets of theirs. After gaining control over monsters, Beast Tamers can then issued commands for a monster to follow through as their master. Beast Tamers did not fight foes on their own but worked alongside a group of monsters they tamed.[1]

Known Beast Tamers

Known Classes

  • Beast Tamer
  • High Tamer

Abilities and Powers

In exchange for their own battle power, Beast Tamers gained the highest position as the leader of a pack.[2] Among the hundreds of monsters controlled and led by Beast Tamers, the highest level was said to be 80. However, with the support of Beast Tamer skills, they could increase their level to 90 or so.

Among the skills a Beast Tamer possess, there were also certain passive skills that had buffing and debuffing effects. These abilities acted through the Beast Tamer's breath and had a radius of several meters, some even up to ten meters. With the effect of certain skills, that radius could be enlarged to unbelievable proportions.[3]

Still Beast Tamers as with Summoners had a limit of how many monsters they could control. In order for a new beast to be tamed, it was customary for one of the monsters to be freed in order from oldest to newest, not when one was to choose and release magical beasts, but when they were forced to be released. In YGGDRASIL, there were few examples of a warning message popping up and being able to select which one to release yourself.

Though that only applies when Beast Tamers make connections to the magical beasts placed under their control. Though by not doing so with the class, Beast Tamers won't be able to raise a monster's abilities.[4]

Active

  • Breath Composition (ranged): It's a mind-affecting skill that a Beast Tamer can be used to induce terror onto a target.

Passive

  • Breath Composition (not an official name): The breath a Beast Tamer exhales is capable of controlling others' emotions in its range. The composition of such breath they choose decides its effect.

Trivia

  • In the New World, the first monster a beast tamer like Aura was able to tame is Hejinmal, a young Frost Dragon.[5]
  • To expand her abilities beyond her job class, Aura proposed in conducting an experiment without her skills.
