[edit] Notes

• This skill will only activate if you do not currently have an animal companion.
• Once an animal companion is charmed and in a combat area, ranks in Beast Mastery will not affect this skill but will increase the base damage output of your animal companion and lessen the skill bar black out time received upon your animal companion's death.
• This skill can be replaced with a new skill, via learning a new skill or gaining a mission's skill, without losing control of the pet. In explorable areas, the pet will no longer appear with you once you change zones if you still have the new skill (i.e. Charm Animal isn't on your bar).
• Roleplaying characters and Heroes start with no animal charmed, while Player vs Player characters and their heroes start with an Elder Wolf.
• If you are trying to tame a pet for a hero it is recommended to flag henchmen away so they don't attack and kill the animal you are trying to charm.
• As of the August 6, 2009, game update, Comfort Animal can be used instead of Charm Animal for your companion to travel with you.
• A special version of this skill has been made for the Codex Arena. See Charm Animal (Codex).

[edit] Trivia

• This has the longest activation out of all the skills usable by players.
• Before the Fourth Anniversary Update, you could charm animals of any level.
