Description
Charm target animal. Once charmed, your animal companion will travel with you whenever you have Charm Animal equipped.

Usage Notes
While accompanying you, your pet will also acquire Experience points and eventually level up. In the beginning this will go very fast, until the pet reaches your level, from then on it stays close behind you. When your pet's level increases, it will also slightly grow in size. Pet levels are capped at 20.

In combat your pet will attack the same opponent you target (with a delay sometimes). When your pet dies it can be resurrected with Comfort Animal. While pets can be healed with Monk skills, they do not work for resurrection. Upon your pet's death and it's resurrection all your skills are disabled for 8 seconds.

You cannot charm a new creature while you already have a pet, you have to get rid of the old one first. To do so speak with one of the various Tamer NPCs (like Jarrel the Tamer right in front of the gate of post searing Ascalon City).

You can give your pet an individual name with the command "/namepet ". Your pet's name can be up to 12 characters long. If you don't rename your pet, it's name may chance when levelling up (i.e. a Melandru's Stalker will become a Playful Stalker).
