Taming the Beast

This trial marks the final lesson in a young tauren hunter's training under Yaw Sharpmane in Bloodhoof Village. By using a taming rod to bond with a wild swoop, the hunter proves mastery over creatures of the air and earns the sacred trust of the Earthmother. Completing this task grants the permanent knowledge required to tame and command a lifelong companion.

The final task that I have for you requires that you tame a creature that inhabits the sky. The swoop is a difficult opponent, but as your ally, you will acquire its sharp attacks and threatening presence.

By the will of the Earthmother, when you return I will bestow you with the skills you will need to tame an animal of your choosing to be your companion; this creature will face the challenges you face, and gain experience alongside you. I will also show you how to call it and dismiss it as you wish.

Here you are, friend. I will now give you the power to tame a beast, as well as call it and dismiss it as you see fit. Use your new skills with pride and honor the Earthmother.
