Active Pet Spells/Abilities
Besides the skill Growl, active pet skills can
only be learned by taming a pet that already knows
the skill. After an undetermined time period of
hunting with that pet, you will automatically
learn this skill and will be able to teach other
pets. To find the pet ability that you need, you
must tame certain types of beasts. There is a
random chance that the beast will know the spell
you need to learn.
 Pet

the likelihood the mob will attack the taunter
