'''Taming''' is a [[skill]] used to make an [[animal]] a [[pet]]. Taming allows for special features such as protecting the animal, having the animal fight with you, or placing equipment on the animal, if applicable. Not all creatures can be tamed.

Praying to your deity can improve your taming level. Example: {{event|inline|Aged seal suddenly seems more loyal.}}
==Handling petPet==
*A pet can be ordered to go somewhere or to attack other animals (in PvE and PvP) or people (in PvP only). You can also lead a pet with a [[rope]].
*A pet can't be tamed by another person while it is your pet.
**They must not have a pet, and their own taming skill must be high enough to keep the animal.
==Hitching creaturesCreatures==
Hitchable animals such as horses, while tamed, can still being hitched to a [[Large cart]], but the [[pet]] commands will not move them nor move the cart when ordered to go somewhere. Instead, they will stay on the place, and a message will say they cannot perform that action.
*A cart hitched with a tamed creature can be moved in the normal way (being mounted and driven by a commanding player).
*Only bears of [[age]] mature and younger may be hitched to a Large Cart.
==Pets and combatCombat==
*In PvP, players can attack your tamed creature, and you can command it to attack other players.
*In PvE, players cannot attack your tamed creature, and you cannot command it to attack other players.
{{event|inline| [The animal] sniffs the air and looks too nervous to focus. }} Move the animal to another spot or off deed before taming.
