Taming the Beast

I am Clover Spinpistol, Mountaineer and Sniper. We may be good shots, but unfortunately us little folk aren't too suited for close combat. No worries, though! You just need to have a beast take the hits for you!

Tinker Town's best and brightest recently made an amazing scientific breakthrough to address our less than stellar record with large animals who find us appetizing and bite-sized.

You seem like a promising marksman. Just the talent we need in our efforts to retake Gnomeregan! To that end, I'll teach you how to use the patented G.N.O.E.M.R. Taming Rod.

Take this and try to use it on a Large Crag Boar. Make sure it's large!

Did you tame it yet? Did it work? Don't worry, you can tame another one if you don't like the attitude of this particular boar.

Oh, my! Well done. This rod definitely requires further testing, and you can get a better choice of companion in the process.
