Want to suggest additional, non-combat “skills” for pets (and thralls perhaps, too)
Examples:
pets and archers to give warning of hostile creature within a certain range
Predatory pets can lead to specific creature types, if any are within range (by “showing” the pet a pelt)
Omnivore and Herbivore pets can lead to specific plant targets, if any are within range. (by “showing” the pet a sample of said plant) - eggs, too (for omnivore)
Thralls and pets could perhaps give direction (point toward) the player’s bed or bedroll (which would give an indication of what direction they need to go for “home”)
Pet or thrall could possibly lead toward other clan members
