In the cold northern lands goblin raiders and their kin take their toll on farmers and traders. Guards and patrols frequently use animal companions in these areas to help protect the locals. As this method is particularly effective, many are trained to work with substantial animals such as wolves and mountain lions.
You are trained in tracking, wilderness survival, hunting, and the use of wild animals. If you are a Ranger, your animal companion does not gain all the powers of a Ranger’s Companion unless you take the Beast Master option and achieve third level.

You travel with an animal companion. This companion is a wild animal with statistics similar to an ordinary wolf. This animal will attempt to protect you and attack your enemies, but you cannot command it (unless you become a Ranger Beast Master).
You are skilled in the hunting and handling of wild animals. If the necessary natural resources are available, you are able to provide food and water for a group by hunting and gathering. If you encounter wild animals, you are able to determine where they lair or the direction they are traveling.
