[edit] War Lion Development and Appearance

The War Lion is the pet of the White Lion High Elf (Shining Guard) Career in WAR. The War Lion defends the player and grows as the player grows. Unlike the disposable Squigs of the Greenskin Goblin Squig Herder, the War Lion is a long-term companion. As the player advances in his career (each Tier), the War Lion begins to look more and more impressive, developing a beautiful mane and greater levels of adornment. Customizations include naming your pet, which you can do by simply typing: /petname [name you like to give].

[edit] Training

At the most basic level, a War Lion may only be commanded to come to and follow its master, stop what it is doing, and attack its master's target. With advanced training however, the War Lion gains additional abilities and bonuses. A War Lion can only make use of one type of training at a time, selected by its White Lion master. The three types of training are as follows:

Trained to Hunt These abilities are paired with the mastery Path of the Hunter and has the lion and elf work as one.

Icon	Ability Name	Ability	Type	Path	Training	Description
None	Unknown	Action	Debuff	Path of the Hunter	Trained to Hunt
None	Unknown	Action	Debuff	Path of the Hunter	Trained to Hunt
None	Unknown	Action	Debuff	Path of the Hunter	Trained to Hunt

Trained to Threaten These abilities are paired with the mastery Path of the Axeman, allowing the War Lion to maintain the enemy's focus, and give the White Lion a chance to use his positional abilities to greatest effect.
