Acromantulas, Tamed
Acromantula Domestica
Domesticated Companion - Urban & Rural
Tamed Acromantulas represent one of the most remarkable achievements in human-mega fauna cooperation. Through careful breeding and training programs, these once-feral predators have become valued companions and working partners in various fields across Aethoria.
Domestication History
The domestication of Acromantulas began approximately 200 years ago when a group of pioneering handlers discovered that young Acromantulas could form strong bonds with humans if raised from hatching. This breakthrough led to the development of specialized breeding programs and training methods that have produced generations of domesticated Acromantulas.
Training and Bonding
The process of taming an Acromantula begins at birth, with handlers carefully introducing themselves to the spiderlings. Through consistent interaction and positive reinforcement, a strong bond forms between handler and Acromantula. Training focuses on developing communication skills, impulse control, and specific tasks based on the Acromantula's intended role.
Roles in Society
Tamed Acromantulas serve in various capacities across Aethoria. They work as guardians of important facilities, assist in construction and heavy lifting, participate in search and rescue operations, and even serve as mounts for specialized military units. Their intelligence and versatility make them invaluable partners in many fields.
Guild Advisory
The Adventurer's Guild maintains a registry of certified Acromantula handlers and breeding programs. Only trained professionals should attempt to work with these creatures, even in their domesticated state.
