Warriors - MM animal trainer?

[Techwright]

I was reading the beta description of warriors and the word "critter" caught my eye.  I'm guessing this use is for something else, but it got me wondering: would it work thematically if Warriors got a mastermind with predator animal control or something similar (Read: fewer pets, more personal fighting)?  I'm not talking bee swarms, I'm talking lions and other ferocious types.  Warriors respect natural strength (even if they then go an augment it with magic relics) so to me, at least, they'd respect a member who could not only fight but was alpha to a pack of predators, control their strength to his beneficial use.

 

Thoughts?

"Critter" is original Co* developer-speak for "Mob".

More warriors, good and different!

Unless you're from the American West.  Then it is "varmint".

"It's the code of the West, son. If it moves, shoot it. If it's too fast to shoot, steal it. If it's too big to move, foreclose the mortgage."

Sure, I could see a member of the warriors having a wolf or trained lion.  Heck, give 'em the hawk, too!

I could see the hawk.  A bird of prey is just a predator with wings after all.

Ooh!  And have the wolves' howl and pack mentality buffs affect other warriors!

This part I disagree with. (Edit: If you want to give the beast handlers war cries to buff the other Warriors? Okay. The animals doing so? No, it makes no sense to me.)

 

(Edit again: And if you are wondering why I disagree? It's because the Warriors aren't berserkers or other type of combatant that should be swayed by essentially a combat trained pet being loud.)
