As a Beastmaster, it is your job to learn these family weaknesses and exploit them by choosing a pet that's better at killing your chosen prey. Note that not all of the mobs below are charmable. The effect of properly following this chart is intimidation. Intimidation causes your prey to lose a turn, so to speak, and it doesn't attack. Intimidation messages appear in your chat log as "The Steppe Hare is intimidated by the Strolling Sapling's presence" (But the enemy must be attacking the pet that has this trait to be intimidated- "presence" isn't good enough). It functions like paralysis, and stacks with any other paralysis effects (such as from the spell Paralyze or Ice Spikes). Beastmasters themselves eventually learn many of these "Killer Traits".
