Line 53:
** If one of them was Cerberus, [[wikipedia:Orthrus|the other one may have been Orthrus]].
* When she and Carnage first encountered the Doppelganger, ''[[Spider-Man]]'' foe Shriek stopped Carnage from killing it because she thought it was neat, and eventually turned it into a loyal little pet. To put things in perspective, Doppelganger is an animalistic, six-armed, fanged monster clone of Spider-Man with compound eyes. It got even freakier looking when it came [[Back from the Dead]], mostly due the photorealistic approach the artist took.
* Marvel Comics' resident [[Nature Hero]] Ka-Zar has Zabu, a tamed sabre-tooth tiger as a companion, [[Androcles' Lion|having saved Zabu's life when both were children]].

Line 117:
** Formerly this was supposed to be the job of a Dungeon Master - having one appointed lets you tame anything with the [PET_EXOTIC] tag, which means you can greet a siege with a flock of War Giant Eagles or [[Demonic Spiders|Giant Cave Spider]] web-turrets. Of course, the Dungeon Master was [[Perpetual Beta|bugged into non-existence]] and eventually was dropped, though the players often replaced those tags with regular [PET] and [TRAINABLE] tags in the raws to make any beast tamable by default.
** In the new system, all trainable animals work the same way - with "animal trainer" skill. But a civilisation in worldgen will have domesticated particular animal only if it's on "domestic animals" list or lives where the settlements are built, and normally ''cannot'' have "exotic" ones domesticated on its own. Sometimes migrant animal trainers arrive with their own pets (even giant cave spiders), however. The catch is that if your civilisation doesn't have knowledge of taming the creature in question and it's caught in the wild, it cannot be tamed fully, thus you want your trainer to be skilled enough by the time you try, and then go through the ''second'' generation before they are mature, otherwise animals revert to semi-feral and then wild at a wrong time in the middle of your civilians and "FUN" ensues. But when the trainer is good at this...

* Anyone who owns a Mabari in the ''[[Dragon Age]]'' [[Dragon Age II|games]]. While Mabari do act like adorable puppies around the people they like, one can't forget that they are sentient warhounds fully capable of tearing apart armored warriors.
** In ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' ''Mark of the Assassin'', [[Big Bad|Duke Prosper]] has a pet wyvern named [[Fluffy the Terrible|"Leopold"]]. Wyverns are huge, vicious, venom-spitting, man-eating lizards, and Leopold is much bigger and stronger than wild wyverns. Prosper has tamed Leopold so well that he can ''ride'' the beast.
