Charmable animal

Charmable animals are a type of creature that can be charmed by the ranger skill Charm Animal, then becoming an animal companion.

The majority of the animals are hostile, but passive. Once Charm Animal completes, the animal joins the party of the charmer.

Creatures that look like animals but can't be charmed are usually beasts.
