Very few ayin have ever been domesticated, and then only by the Tahje's personal animal trainers, intentionally bred for warfare. They are remarkably similar to domestic cats in build, movement, and leaping ability. But they are so large that they can dominate a battlefield. They are nearly fearless in battle and are intelligent enough to be trained for war more thoroughly than a horse. Domesticated ayin usually remain loyal to only one master, unless they see him killed, when they may take a new master. They remain quiet and aloof unless very hungry or ordered into battle. Some escape back into the wild.
