Animal Squad Guide Intermediate
Animals do not complain, do not need wages, and a war-crab hits harder than most recruits.
Recruit and raise animals — Bonedogs, garru, even crabs — as combat and pack members of your squad.
Why Animals
Animals join your squad as combat fighters or pack haulers. They cost no recruitment fee beyond purchase, and the strong ones rival human fighters.
Raising Them
Buy young animals — Bonedog puppies, garru — and let them grow and train through the squad's travels and fights. Raised animals become durable, loyal members.
Pack Animals
Garru and similar beasts carry enormous loads, letting your squad haul loot and trade goods it would otherwise leave behind. A pack animal pays for itself fast.
Combat Animals
Trained Bonedogs and, for befriended Crab Raiders, war-crabs are formidable front-line fighters — fast, tough and hard-hitting.
“Heavy armour is stronger than it looks. Put it on your front-line tank.”
