You have cared for animals for a long time. Whether having been a vetrenarian, farmer, or even just a pet owner, you know animals like the back of your hand. You have learned of the many species and subspecies of all kinds of creatures, from blink dogs to drakes and everything inbetween. You've even learned from them how their behaviors change, what they eat, and what their prey/predators are.

Suggested Characteristics
An Animal Master loves their animals, for better or for worse. Most animal specialists sea their beasts as friends, not pets, and those that care for nature remain very important to them.

Your specialization still stands, but instead of treating people, your art is focused on our fuzzy friends. Exchange Nature for Medicine. Animals who have been healed do not behave the same way people do. Some more intelligent creatures, such as wolves, may be capable of feeling gratitude, but have limited ability to express such. Monsters are, true to their name, usually incapable of such emotion and will likely just attack the moment they recover. Other doctors may not take you as seriously as you deserve, but anyone who has an important animal, such as a knight's steed or a caster's familiar, will have deep respect for you, for even acknowledging that their animal is worth saving.
You tend to get on with animals and can transfer basic ideas and emotions to them. If the creature is willing, it could attempt to get help or contact someone as best it can, but it may not fully understand you or get its meaning across when it finds a person. Even animals that are hostile by nature will approach with caution, but may not attack on sight.
